as details develop.

Breaking in is wrong but we don't know what's going on that would make a daughter desperate enough to do this.

Highlight:

a MN state senator was booked for breaking into her stepmother's home, but it turns out she's DFL, so I lost interest. [View all] Bucky Apr 26 OP

"retrieving Father's ashes from Stepmother's home''' yeah, quite the inexplicable 'scandal' there... hlthe2b Apr 26 #1

Legally they are the widow's, without a will they will go to the surviving partner ripcord Apr 26 #7

Oh, give it a break. I am only saying there is grief involved--not defending her becoming a class A burgler. hlthe2b Apr 26 #9

You asked who had more claim than the biological daughter and I told you the law ripcord Apr 26 #11

How can you decide what is moral if you don't have any facts? ripcord Apr 26 #13

I mentioned this in the post(s) you did not read. hlthe2b Apr 26 #14

Of course, no jumping to conclusions at all ripcord Apr 26 #15

Well, I could certainly say the same for you... hlthe2b Apr 26 #16

My ethics are not situational sarisataka Apr 26 #8

No one argues... but fingerwagging in such situations where grief is obviously at play is low rent hlthe2b Apr 26 #10

Regardless of her motives, she's certainly fucked up the DFL trifecta; the senate is now 33-33. WhiskeyGrinder Apr 26 #17

Why would someone want to retrieve their parent's ashes in such a manner? LeftInTX Apr 26 #19

It's grief. It makes us do dumb things. Bucky Apr 26 #22

As a stepmother myself, I can't imagine A)dealing with a burglary after losing my husband shrike3 Apr 26 #23
