    The drawing of Kobe’s body on the autopsy report is awful. Can’t imagine why anyone would want to see that in person, let alone take a picture of it and/or share it.

    According to the story it was a bartender that overheard the cop and reported it to the Sheriff's department, which then did jack shit.

    That first anniversary is brutal. I remember what it felt like losing my dad, the pain gradually easing a bit after the first six months and then that first anniversary hits and its like losing him all over again immediately, just gut punching.

    I'm not a religious person but today I'm praying for Vanessa and the girls.

    It's crazy to think how he passed right before all the pandemic stuff started really happening. Month or two later and he wouldn't have even recognized his own country. Shit changed fast at the start of 2020

    I don’t think that’s what she’s saying is it? Seems like a pretty big misrepresentation of her being upset that she didn’t get to control the family’s grieving process

    its one of those days in my life I remember what I was doing and probably always will. I was cooking breakfast and my middle daughter texted the tmz story in the family group text and no one believed her. Everyone was saying stuff like “that ain’t funny” “stop spreading lies” “why isn’t on the news”.

    I can't remember exactly where I was but I remember the text. It was from my boss and it just said "KOBE!". I thought it was good news that we'd get to work with his team again or something. Never would have guessed what was coming next.
