someone tried to kill me last year

Lake Shore Drive, Easter Sunday, 6 PM. 2005. Chicago.

I was deliberately plowed into by a guy behind me who accelerated, probably going more than 90 mph

It was a murder for hire, and since then I've been trying to put it together

It's political - they hate me and my father.

I'm sick as a dog and out of a job and suicidal.

Won't someone believe me, even if I die.

I'm out of hope. I have nothing left to lose. I'm tired of trying to get justice, there is none.

I've gotten nothing but slander and harassing phone calls since then, and still no justice.

I didn't get my vacation money from my employer, and they promised it. It's to put an
end to me. They put a gun to my head and made me sign an agreement not to talk about it.

Unemployment promised to call me and never did.

I have no money. I don't know why I'm telling you this, because it's too late.

You promise hope and never deliver.

My name is Kerry Lynn Keane. I have a name and am a real person.

But it's just too bloody late.

2. This sounds like a suicide note.
There's little time, but don't give up and don't give in. If you think you have lost everything, you haven't because you still have your life, and with that life comes the ability to affect the lives of others in positive ways, even if your own life is burning in flames. You must have relatives and friends who would miss you terribly if you give up. You may think nobody would miss you if you are gone, but they would.

7. As quickly as things turned bad for you, they can turn around again
Don't give up! You have as much to offer as anyone else. Don't allow those who wish you harm to win. Quite often things are at their worst just before they get better.

In today's world, it can be very hard to face each day. But that is what we must do, because good days could be just around the corner. Hang in there, and I'll be sending good thoughts your way and hope that things get better for you very soon.

I got this information after finding out where a "Kerry Keane" lived through a residential database. An address was listed but no phone... If anyone can call the police in this town, PM me and I'll supply that information.

31. I believe this is some kind of hoax, and I don't appreciate it...
Rich Hunt has been casually writing on this BBS, etc, but now this "suicide note" from Karen Silkwood.

I'm not buying it, and I think we're owed an explaination and an apology.

45. and that's exactly why I'm at the end of my rope

Because you people swoop in and turn it into a 'personal' or 'psychological' issue when it is not.

There is no getting around that someone tried to kill me last year.

How would YOU feel if someone did that? And then you got robbed by your employer on top of it?

And there's clearly an obstruction of justice at play here?

They've been taking away help and justice for the people for years.

Still, we have each other. And we need to support each other in whatever ways we can. Please take care of yourself. Do something nice for yourself. Please.

25. nice to know you, Kerry Lynn
no hope... but it does sound like a shitty situation. Today my local paper had a story about a guy that went to high school with me. He was charged by the FBI with conspiracy to commit murder. You need to hang in there on this tough earth. Peace.

32. what kind of shitty advice is this?

Not being able to get justice and having powerful people try to ruin you and deny you exist, and after a year of giving people the info and ultimatums and getting no help IS a reason to kill yourself.

There's no future. It's logical.

They are trying to ruin me.

Are you blind, or can't you read the words 'attempted murder'?

Please, if you have saccharine advice, spare me.

I've seen how cruel the system is to the vulnerable and I've had enough.

I'm too weak to play this game anymore. Understand, or get lost.

36. I'm not giving any more personal info

It's an attempted murder. If you can't figure that out and help on your own, you have no business asking questions.

I'm not giving any more information. I've seen enough.

"Western Springs" - what a joke.

She signed a save Marshall Field's petition.
Not sure what the point of this is. I've heard so many similar stories over the last 10 - 15 years, but still nothing is being done.
