Gossip and Innuendo needs to end!


I have been watching the goings on regarding the death of  Ashlee Gough, one of the occupiers at the Vancouver Occupy site.   There has been very little said about her, herself, as though she didn't matter. In fact most of what has been said has been innuendo and gossip.  People have posted that the Occupy Vancouver site should be shut down and that it should have been done a long time ago.  What does this have to do with Ashlee herself?  This is so disheartening, to see pages and pages of horrible and scathing remarks and should you try to point out the truth, such as her cause of death has not been proven, you are fodder for the trolls.
An Island girl, Ashlee hailed from Victoria, she had a step father who cared about her.  RIP Miss Gough, may you carry on the "Good Fight" on the other-side.  Peace and love to your family members.

  1. The sad reality is that some people are still spinning their wheels in their own little words. The major question is, if she wasn't a drug user how the hell did she get her hands on heroin? While conspiracy theories suggest it was given to her by somebody working for the 1%, it is likely not far from the truth.
    I find it darkly humorous that people want the occupy movement closed for a death, yet people are dying on the streets every day. Are we to shut down the streets? Are we to shut down entire cities? The reality is that this is only bringing the drug problem to light.

  2. sad for the loss of another human being, but perhaps its true here time had come whether she was there or not...do not let the focus shift...and Tylor..I like the idea of shutting down entire cities....rotating general strikes...one day wont cripple the city..but one day here, one day there day after day across this great country..and around the world...everyone can give one day..

  3. Having lost a child myself, I can only imagine how the parents must have felt when they saw the news of their child. My heartfelt thoughts went out to them. It just struck me as harsh, that the news focused first on her being used to try to bring about the end of the Movement in Vancouver. It was a sad situation, and one that I felt I should post differently about.
