Today is my Birthday...Four Officers were Killed

I'm sad for you Lily. A friend of mine, her sister was murdered on Christmas Eve. As Christmas gets closer she becomes quieter and you know what she is thinking. The slightest thing will set her of weeping inconsolably. Christmas will be a sad horrible time for her forever more. My nephew took his life over 2 years ago on my eldest grandchild's 18th birthday. My nephew and I became close a couple of months before he did the deed and so, from now on, whenever Scott's birthday roles around I will be thinking of and missing my nephew.

Its a crying shame how the world values life. People just don't have any compasion for others. Humanity is a flawed race. My condoulances to those families effected by the deaths of those four men. And, on a liter more happy note... Happy Birthday. To bad you have a tradgey to remember on top of it.

First let me say a happy, belated birthday to you. Hope you had a great day. I did hear about the four officers killed in Washington. Was a senseless, stupid crime. The suspect had a long history of violence yet he was back on the streets again. I just don't "get" the justice system here in our country. He raped a 13 year old girl and was still out on the streets. He should have spent the rest of his life in the slammer. My sympathy to the officer's families and friends. May they rest in peace.

hei.. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY.. (sorry - i just got back from my inlaws and didnt have access to the internet at their place...) It is really upsetting to hear that the policemen were actually targetted for shooting.. i hope the case is solved soon and the guilty shooter gets caught soon. U shouldnt just focus on the 'bad' news - i am sure u still got plenty more to be thankful for...

Happy birthday,it is sad to hear that news which was happened on you birthday.the day always very important for all of us. so i think there is also have some very interesting or happy things were happened on that day if you research on line.pls get over the sad things and celebrated you birthday as usual.

I dont't know what to say,happy Birthday or dont't forget the people protect us .maybe both,For you,i believe this time will be a special meaning.

I still have a hard time actually reading about this because I know it would affect me for quite a while . . . as I see it is affecting you too. I can't imagine what their families are going through. We have a few friends who are police officers. This breaks my heart.

I heard this news on the radio this morning and felt very sorry for the deaths of the police officers. I think that it is a planned murder. So true it is that it is hard for forget this event which took place on your birthday. But anyway, I wish you Happy Birthday.

hi lilyofthe thorns, Wish many many happy returns of the day,do not worry about the killing of 4 police officers ,their fate is like so they have gone to wind,there are lot of deaths on your birth day and there were lot of births on your birthday itself,both good and bad things happening daily,leave it and be happy,have a nice day

I have heard about the four officers being killed on the news. They thought they had the guy who shot them but when the squat team went into the house he was not there. They have put out a watch in many of the states because he has ties in Arkansas. My heart goes out to the family and friends of these officers. Happy late Birthday to you.

That is a sad thing to happen on your birthday. I hope that you will not be reminded of something that negative on your birthday for the rest of your life. I guess that is one of the risks involved with joining the police force. You are putting yourself out there as an enemy of these criminals. That is a sad fact of life that these dishonest people do exist and honest people often get in the way of their greed.

a little bad birthday but nothing about you

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that bad news on your birthday day, if they are your friends, it is the worst to you. it's really sad to everybody when they face to this kind of situation. But life have to be going on, we can't image what will happen tomorrow, all we can do is to be fine and happy today, and the government should try the best to protect people from safety. Anyway, be happy on you birthday. The best wish to you.

Im sorry that happened on your birthday D: My birthday is September 11th, so I sort of understand. I havent heard about the shooting on the news yet, maybe i missed it.

I was sorry to hear that these deaths happened on your birthday. It is very sad that this happened. People seem to not have a conscience anymore. It is as if they have shut off that part of their beings. My husband and I had a tragic event happen on our wedding anniversary. We were married on April 20. The shootings that happened at Columbine High School in Colorado also happened on our anniversary. We were so stunned and unsure how to react. We had also found out that a relative of mine was one of the victims. We had chosen not to go out and celebrate after the event. Instead we stayed home to keep our eyes and ears on what was going on. We really wanted to find out everything detail. I had cried when I found out all the information. Each anniversary, we set a side a special time to try and remember the lives that were lost that day.

I heard about this story yesterday. I'm sorry it coincided with your birthday :( The coffee shop owner is a retired policeman, so the restaurant was always a popular spot for the local police. I hope they get the guy. I heard that the fourth officer may have shot the suspect during the struggle. It's even worse that this was a small town. Not only the worst thing to happen to a police officer in the state of Washington, but the town must be devastated. The suspect shot the first two officers execution style. He either planned this, ...or he is mentally disturbed. People often take service members like police officers and firefighters for granted. Hopefully events like this will remind them of the day-to-day dangers those men and women are threatened with daily. They sacrifice their families and lives 24-7, whether they are on or off duty.
