Coroner is a Gift Card Thief

The funny thing is that sentence is not that bad.

I used to be constantly marked on it in Composition classes but rarely in Creative Writing classes even though I used them equally as often and in some cases had the same teacher.

My record for a sentence clocks in at 237 words. It is magnificent.

Before Mark Twain sentences were huge. There was this one guy who's average sentence length was like three or four pages.

Plainer speech is just more eloquent if executed properly.

A lot of writers use run on sentences. You could look at a 10 pages of Hemingway and only find one comma. Same thing with Cormac McCarthy. And they often used "and" at the beginning of sentences in a completely innapropriate fashion.

OH NOZER?! LOOK AT ALL THE SUFFERING I WILL CAU SE!

That's right...you have to know all of the rules before you can be comfortable with breaking them, but good and even great writers have always broken them.

Well, I guess the coroner figured the dead girl wouldn’t be needing them now! I mean, it’s not the worst crime I’ve ever heard of. It is tacky, and I couldn’t benefit from anyone’s death like that myself, but I don’ t know, it’s not really that big of deal. If I died with gift cards on me (this is highly unlikely as I love gift cards and am in the store minutes after receiving one), I really wouldn’t mind if some lady took them and bought herself some stuff.

Same here. Its wrong but I'm not seething mad about it or anything.

If you want the honey dont go killing all the bees.

Maybe the family questioned the suicide and wondered if she had been robbed for the cards.

Maybe even rules in sentance structure were ment to be broken.

Now this thread is even longer.

What if it was a man?

 

[evince]

It was theft and I would have reported it too.

No one should be stealing no matter what the situation was.

Well, this was a woman. But I would feel the same way if it were a man...or asshat.

If I were the Coroner I would have set the cards aside and given them to the family.

That's what most people would do, but this woman didn't. I'm still baffled at how the conversations took place that led to this arrest.
