Two sisters and a teenage son moved to a Colorado campsite last July, living off canned food. They had wanted to take a break from a world that distressed them, a local coroner said.

      They had a 14-year old kid with them. That poor kid didn’t deserve to have been led to his death because of the adults he had no choice but to depend on.

        Are you more angry at the people trying to escape the crazy system than you are at the system that drove them out?

          There is no “system” that drove them out. This was a choice they made. A bad one.

              I’d love an explanation if you don’t mind.

                  …. That drove them out. You left that part out.

                    Oh, sure. There’s absolutely no reason for anybody to be dissatisfied by the current system. Everything is pretty much perfect!

          Yes, because they died in an incredibly predictable way by going out unprepared and they brought a kid to die with them.

            They thought they were going to be killed by capitalism in decline.

              They thought wrong, obviously.

                They likely would have died in society as well, from poverty, cancer, addiction, or suicide. They were drowning in one world so they sought refuge in another. There was no happy ending in wait.

                  Lol great rational for killing your kid. They could possibly, maybe, die anyway so better just get it over with right? She was an idiot and her stupidity lead to the death of an innocent child.

                  You seem very eager to justify this tragedy as if it was inevitable, and not the result of very avoidable choices. Are you okay?

                    That’s your strawman argument, not related to anything I’ve said.
