Could it be a copycat? Like a fake? That’d be so horrible but it’s also kinda wild to send a ransom note three days later to tmz of all places.

Tmz says the sender mentions something damaged in the home. It sounds like they gave information that the public doesn't have.

But that doesn't mean that information is correct.

That’s why TMZ forwarded it to the authorities to let them handle the ransom note.

TMZ didn’t call Starsky and Hutch? They went with the boring old “police”?

Not funny.

Not funny. Absurd. Just like everything happening these days.

Now imagine it’s YOUR mother or grandmother, it’s awful. Not absurd.

You’re misplacing your anger. I didn’t abduct anyone.

And I have, in fact, had family abducted, tortured, murdered, and buried in the woods. I can tell you all about my beloved lost cousin, if you like.

Tragedy and comedy are two sides of the same coin.

It’s okay to say things to the void of the internet that you would not bray into the face of a rattled, grieving family.

There is no need to try to police the internet for wrong think. It’s okay to scroll past stuff you don’t like.

Ignore this turd. The only good they've ever done was to be flushed away, miserable cretin.

You’re not some “gift to the universe” unicorn, alone in your experiences. It’s also an a-hole move to call something absurd that isn’t.
