Dani: 0:32

Alright, everyone, welcome back to the Lethal Library. I am Stephanie. I'm Danny, and we are here again to tell you another true crime story in Idaho. Danny has a fresh one for us this week. What do we got on the plate? Well, we have all worked with someone. We couldn't stand, never. Never. I have literally quit a job over it. Yeah. Yeah. It can be too much. But one woman took it a little too far. Oh, and she didn't even hate him. This is already getting very juicy. In today's episode, we have meth. A baseball bat and two unexplainably strange women. Okay, love a strange woman. They're bad. Strange, Ooh, creepy, sources used, today are the Idaho Statesmen and the Times News. Let's go on May 9th, 2007. Some hikers. Were taking advantage of the early spring weather and headed up. The five mile trailhead near Boise, Idaho At a nearby campsite, they saw what looked like a man laying down. They approached the man and quickly stepped away. Uh oh. Called 9 1 1. Said he's not taking a nap. No. Taking a dirt nap. Yes. Sorry. Insensitive. That was rude of me. That, but maybe he was really, that was rude. He wasn't really, that was pretty fucking It was. It was. Sorry, guys. Authorities arrived at the campsite of Rocky Canyon Road and discovered a body that had been beaten and stabbed. Ooh. So they knew right away he's not, yeah. They walked up on that. They're like, oh no. This isn't a relaxing time. This is gotta, gotta go. Too many owies. police were unable to locate any kind of identification on the body, so investigators reached out to the public for help identifying it. They released details about his body piercing, and a photo of a black baseball cap with three skulls on it. Here we go again. Baseball cap. Very, it was kind of a, people like those unique hats, they like to make'em their own back then. Yeah, distinct. He was later identified by fingerprints as 31-year-old Sean Thomas Halcomb Sean was recently working on turning his life around. Said the staff at River of Life's Men Shelter, where he was living at the time. Sean participated in the work search program and was working two jobs at the time of his death. He was on track to leave the shelter for his own place within the next month.

Stephanie: 3:19

Damn am.

Dani: 3:22

Yeah. A friend of Hal come's. Jennifer Bloom said she met him at a AA meeting. He had adopted a Buddhist attitude towards life and went out of his way not to burden others with his problems. He loved his pre-teen daughter. Quote, one thing he told me, which I will never forget, what is that? If someone ever killed him, he didn't want them to die for it. Sean said, an eye for an eye make just makes the world blind. Hmm. So completely new outlook on life. Really trying to reframe everything it sounds like. Yeah. Hmm. He made a little trouble getting his stuff together. I mean, well, and what a great way to look at it is that I don't wanna be a burden,

Stephanie: 4:11

I don't wanna be the

Dani: 4:11

victim. Right. He was, yeah. He was just like, my problems are my problems and I'm gonna take care of it, and I'm working on it. Wow. A few days later on May 12th. A man was looking through trash cans at Ann Morrison Park when he located a bag. Mm-hmm. When he searched through the bag, he found Sean's id. A liquor bottle. A liquor receipt, and a broken part of a baseball bat. Oh no. This gave authorities their first real lead in the case. People are stupid. Again, and again and again. The receipt led detectives to a liquor store on State Street in Boise where they were able to obtain video of two women that was timestamped the same time as the receipt. Easy peasy. The two women were identified as Jennifer Mecado, age 22, and Diana flatter. John, age 33. Police also locate witnesses that saw Shawn with the two women in downtown Boise on the Wednesday before they found Shawn's body. They were arrested and charged with first degree murder right away. Gotcha. You were on tape. Yeah. Well, and they probably thought

Stephanie: 5:36

they were so sly dumping it in some random dumpster and someone's like,

Dani: 5:40

oh, just let, just, yeah. Neatly in a bag. Yeah. Altogether. Yeah, in one nice package, put a bow on it. Smart. They are not authorities. State, both Mercado and flatter. John, were on probation at the time of the murder. Mercado was previously convicted for grand theft in Canyon County and possession of a controlled substance in 2004. Weird drugs just dipping our toes into a little drug. she was released in January, 2006 on probation Fluter. John had prior felony convictions that included felony injury to a child and possession of meth. This is gonna piss you off. This is gonna piss you off in 2004. She left her 10-year-old daughter home alone for six days while on a meth binge. So disgusting. But this is so common in like, and people never hear about it because some of these kids, like they can kind of fend for themselves a little bit

Stephanie: 6:50

and nobody knows. And if school's not in, or if no one checks, there's tons of people that do this that are just like whoopsie. I was gone for four days. I was gone for this many days. There was, I think last year there was a huge story about a gal that went on a vacation

Dani: 7:04

and left like a 9-year-old and two littles. Went on a vacation. Why? And was like, uh, there's like some mac and cheese and shit. Like the house wasn't, I looked to the checkbook kiddo. Yeah. It's just horrendous that it's like, eh, that'll be all right. I, at 10, I was waking myself up and getting myself on the bus. Yeah, me too. Uh, well you had a parent that worked nights. Mm-hmm. My mom was a bartender. Worked nights at 10. I was getting myself up, but also. But also my mother was there every day. Yes. It, it wasn't just like, mom hasn't been here for a week, we're running out of food. I guess I gotta go to the Circle K. The lights got shut off. Lights do. I gotta go to the Circle K. Like what do you do if the electricity gets shut off and you're just a kid? Yeah. You don't have any idea what to do. It. It's scary. 10 years old. Like, can you make yourself some cereal? Yeah. But for several nights and days and. Not even really knowing what day it is. Like it's just terrible. Don't do that to your kids. What about laundry? You know? Oh no, you're the smelly kid for sure. Futter John was released in November of 2005. Fluter John's life. Went off the rails at 29 years old as kind of a big age. Yeah, this big girl age. When she became a daily meth user and dealer. Oh, not good drugs. in a probable cause hearing, shortly after the women's arrest, it revealed little about the motive for murder. Mecado told investigators she bought a baseball bat for 50 cents. Were we at a yard sale? I'll take it. I don't think a, a baseball bat was not 50 cents back then. We're not that far back. No, no. It's 2007 Salvation Army. Yeah, I think, I think we were at the thrift store or we found a yard sale, or maybe it was part of a crack deal. Throw the, throwing the baseball bat. Yeah. 50 cents. I'll give you an extra 50 cents. Fluter. John got a knife from a gentleman. A gentleman of course,

Stephanie: 9:19

an esteemed gentleman who I'm sure his apartment smelled of rich bound leather books. And Mahogany.

Dani: 9:26

Yes. A gentleman. Yeah. What crackhead was it? Come on. They bought some alcohol and picked up Sean. The trio then headed up to a campsite near the five Mile Gulch Trailhead to party. Sure Mercado told investigators, they all sat around the campfire for a while footer. John said eventually Jennifer struck Sean in the back of the head with the baseball bat. She continued to strike him with the wood bat until it broke. And that's a lot. And for, again, what was the reason? This is a 22-year-old guy and I don't know, like. I don't think she was lifting weights, you know what I mean? Like sometimes crack head strength though. They've got some endurance, you know? But you know what? There was no indication in any of my research that they were high on drugs. So let's see if they were there to party. If you're a crack head, you don't really want to just drink. Oh, it's not that fun. You want all, you want all of it. All of it. Mm-hmm. All the party. Mm-hmm. Flutter. John then stabbed Sean three times in the neck, quote, so he wouldn't wake up. Oh, that'll do it. Mercado then took the knife and stabbed him seven more times in the chest. Not waking up. Yeah. We're we're going a little overboard here. The bat is broken three times in the neck, seven more times in the chest. This has, it's feeling very methy. Are they meth around? I think they're, yeah. The coroner said it was the blows to the head that killed Sean, so he was already gone. All of that was just weird girls because beating somebody in the head with a bat will kill them.

Stephanie: 11:21

Yeah, especially if you break the bat that that's probably a good indicator.

Dani: 11:26

I don't care what kind of bat it is. I know it was 50 cents. Yeah. Ooh, that is, that makes me hurt. Thinking about it, someone breaking a bat on you. People that know Mercado and Flutter John are shocked. They showed up to work every day and passed regular drug and alcohol screenings, functioning addicts. They found the secret key. They also attended their classes and were courteous to their probation supervisors. Because the two were living at the Chrysalis. Women's transitional living. It is a group home that helps women convicted of felonies enter back into society. Fantastic. That's why they were getting the drug tests. They had to go to work. They had, they had rules mm-hmm. That they had to follow in order to stay there. I am sure one of those rules is don't beat the fuck outta someone until they're dead, while camping and partying. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe they're lenient on that stuff. They're like, no drugs. If you beat someone and you're not high, that's fine, but if you are high beating someone, you're out of here. Sister, no more rooms for you. No, but

Stephanie: 12:41

I'm, I'm sure there's

Dani: 12:42

something on the streets, something in the bylaws, something in the, in the terms of service that are like. Yeah. You can't be out like murdering people either. There's no murdering Yes. In the halfway house. Sorry about it. Yeah. Very strict here. the bear had lived there for over a year when this happened, so they got their routine down. I love your just fucking, they were shitty people and I'm like, they were doing so good and stuff's like, no, they weren't. Mm.

Stephanie: 13:12

If they're out randomly doing this

Dani: 13:14

shit,

Stephanie: 13:15

how good can you be doing as a person? It is.

Dani: 13:18

I cannot wait. Oh God. Okay. Maybe I'm wrong about a lot of this and I'm willing to say, mm, no. Okay, but shitty people are just shitty people. Yeah. Okay. the two Mercado and Flutter John met while on a rider at the South Boise Women's Correctional Center in late 2005. So like, Hey, bestie. Hey, you know, we love a good bestie and you can crawl yourself out of a gutter with a bestie. But yeah. That's not how this went. So, but you know, everybody was so shocked'cause they were doing so good, but there may have been a red flag or two. Oh hmm. Maybe just a few here or there. Mercado was enrolled at Boise State University as a psychology major, and she had been writing a paper for her psychology class about the mind of a serial killer.

Stephanie: 14:14

Okay.

Dani: 14:16

Which. I research. Yeah. Murders every day. Danny could probably be writing seven papers, but she had a podcast and she talked about murders. No, I'm not doing this. Yeah. Have you bought a cheap bat recently? Danny Knife from a gentleman borrowed a knife from a gentleman. Oh shit. Mercado Met Sean at work, all American publishing. they worked in the call center there. I remember that job. You know this business. Yes. I worked at a different call center where other people had come over from that place and they said it was like a shit show. People were swearing at customers. It was like a scammy. Mm-hmm. Like getting people to buy magazines and stuff. Mm-hmm. Telemarketing. And Did they sell the, the school calendars too? I think they might've. Or the sports calendars. Yeah. Or something like that. They did a lot of stuff like that, but I remember them being like, no, you can straight up swear at customers. Like they don't give a shit. Um, and I was like, I knew you had, knew this,

Stephanie: 15:21

knew no

Dani: 15:21

that

Stephanie: 15:22

and man that, and it's right around that time where I worked at it, it was like oh eight. Yeah. That I worked at a different one and I heard about American publishing or what, is that what it is?

Dani: 15:31

Yeah. American publishing. Yes. Wow. That can't believe I remembered that in my brain. I, um, had a family member that got outta jail that went and worked there. Yes. They hired a lot of people that had it. It's records and stuff. This business works. With the state probation officials to find job for exit. Oh my gosh, this is crazy thinking that while this was happening, I was at another little trashy ass call center. I mean, it was nothing to brag home about, but it was like, you think we are bad? You should hear about what goes on All American over there. Yes. Oh my gosh. How funny. Yeah. Um, I knew you'd know. I did. And I mean, I think it's a cool thing that they're like. But they're also getting banged for their buck, right? Mm-hmm. They're probably, they're paying next to nothing. Right? They can fire you for whatever reason they want. They can call your probation officer. You're, when you're being a dba, yes. You're not getting insurance and get you in lots of trouble, so. Mm-hmm. You know, they really had you probably. Yes. Yeah.

16:42

Alright everyone, so we just would like to tell you about a nonprofit that is very close to our hearts. the four U Network provides trauma support groups, classes and seminars year round. their aim is to increase the accessibility of family oriented resources for the young, old and underserved people in our community. This is something that we've worked closely with over the past several years. and Danny's gonna tell you a little bit more about what it's from. They also host Kim Fest every summer, which started as a memorial, for Kimberly Larson and honor those who have died in our community due to tragedy, like domestic violence, suicide addiction, homicide, and mental health disorders. So kind your mind's mission is to create an inclusive space to learn from one another, contribute to the cause of non-violence, and take away something of value to integrate to our everyday lives. To find out more about this wonderful nonprofit, you can find us on Facebook, Insta, and our website, www.kim fest.com. We also are gearing up for our yearly festival that we have called Kim Fest, and there's several events that we have to raise funds for this free family festival. the first one coming up is the Baca or Bikers against Child Abuse after Ride Party. That's gonna be May 17th at Valhalla in Nampa. Feel free to stop by there to celebrate. Additionally, we've got a community yard sale that is May 24th and 25th. If you're interested in donating especially clothes or household items for this yard sale, please visit us on Facebook or on the website to find out how you can do that, or stop by on May 24th or 25th if you'd like to browse the yard cell. we've also got a night at Meridian Speedway. That's gonna be June 7th. there's races going on that night. It's gonna be a really great night to see races, great event for the kids. We also do a 50 50 raffle there, so that's where. You can buy tickets for a raffle and however much money we spend, we split that 50 50 with one winner. so the most recent Meridian Speedway event that I went to, there was$4,000 raised for that specific cause, and so the winner walked away with over$2,000.

Dani: 19:22

In late May, prosecutors dropped the original murder charges, but state, both women will be recharged. We want a deal over Mulligan. But the women are still being held on just probation violations. Yeah.'cause they're already like, no, you done fucked up. You can't be up. So, you know what, we're just gonna, we're just gonna do a redo. You just sit here and wait a minute. We've got time to get our ducks in a row. Yeah. You guys, we are getting lots of ducks in a row. Maybe a goose. You're sitting fucking right here. We'll be back with you shortly or whenever we feel like it. Bye. but in June, the new charges are brought against them. Each are charged with first degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and robbery. So that means planned plus the conspiracy. What in the hell happened? You're gonna be so mad. I'm I, I'm already mad. And late September Mercado pleads guilty to first degree murder because they had her by the fucking balls. They had her by the pubic hairs.

Stephanie: 20:28

Mm-hmm.

Dani: 20:31

In a plea deal with prosecutors, she will have to testify against footer John. But that's not gonna happen because in December footer, John also pleads guilty cons to conspiracy to commit murder. They're both foot, they have him. So down they both flipped on each other. They're trying to, it sounds like. Yeah, and they're just like, no, the evidence was just. Hello. First of all, they spilled their guts to investigators. Oh, yeah. Trying to get the other one. I, I believe, trying to get the other one in more trouble, like, but they're giving him enough info, right? And they're like, no, we got your number. We can see y'all on the damn tape together. Bitches got your number. But it's gonna, we're going to hear some, some testimony, some quotes. Yeah, some. So how do we get here and why? Yeah. A series of events that began in early may show that Mercado needed money to pay her cell phone bill.

Stephanie: 21:33

Okay?

Dani: 21:34

Her first plan was to sell meth at the halfway house where they were living.

Stephanie: 21:37

Easy enough there. I'm sure there's plenty of customers there.

Dani: 21:41

Then she talked about possibly ripping off a drug dealer, risky business, very risky. Then she said she would just rob someone. Okay. I'm really disappointed at the lack of creativity here. I mean, this is like basic. This is before the big like crash. Mm-hmm. This is oh seven. Right? Right. Hunky dory out there. You're, and

Stephanie: 22:09

listen,

Dani: 22:09

there's ways to make money. We're not using our full potential here. Right. You could literally just ask people for money. Yeah. They would give it to you. Like, well, but she just thought this Mercado texted Fluter, John on May 9th quote, I wanna rob and kill someone I work with. How about Sean? He just got paid. Pardon the fuck. Why not just rob him? He's a Buddhist now.

Stephanie: 22:46

Buddhism, I had to, it just came right into my brain.

Dani: 22:52

I know. I wanted to follow up with the other things. Piper. No, thank you for that.

Stephanie: 23:01

I can't believe I didn't do it earlier. It didn't, it didn't click.

Dani: 23:04

I'm like, I want all of it. Yes. Piper, no. Gonna live in. Oh, that was fucking dumb. I have bronchitis

Stephanie: 23:14

as well, so excuse my laugh.

Dani: 23:17

Mm.

Stephanie: 23:18

Um, but yeah. Uh, why? Sean? Sean will probably be like,

Dani: 23:22

because he just got paid. He'd probably be

Stephanie: 23:24

like, you know what, this is probably a problem I've brought onto myself, so go ahead and have my paycheck.

Dani: 23:28

Right. I'm just saying, bitches. I wanna slap them. They're so. How did we get here? That's what I said. She also texted Flutter, John, that Sean lived at the shelter and wouldn't be missed. Okay. Like you're talking about some, you live at the shelter, some fucking stray squirrel or something. Ugh. Not gonna be missed. After Mercado purchased the baseball bat and flutter, John borrowed the knife from a gentleman. He was a gentleman. They went to meet Sean. He. He was at a restaurant where he just finished eating pizza with his 8-year-old daughter and his ex-wife. Oh my gosh. He introduced his daughter to Mercado and flutter John before he left with them.

Stephanie: 24:28

I am going to explode out of my skin.

Dani: 24:34

They are fucking assholes. How do you get here of being like, I can't pay my cell phone bill. I have free room and board at my location. But my cell phone and I've been wanting to kill someone about it. I've been doing some research on, so color this, need the Courtney Kardashian voice,

Stephanie: 24:54

Hey, hey, you got some organic beer. Let's go get Sean and Murder and rob him. Come, come. I fucking love that. That's exactly like, how did this come to be? How did, and. For one person to say it because maybe they've got some fucking weird shit going and they've just always, well, screw us. Danny, if you texted me this, you're like, you know what? My car payment's a little late. I, I'd like to kill

Dani: 25:24

someone from work. Are you down? I'd be like, uh, ma'am. Yeah, I'm down. Get into my car. We're going to, Intermountain is where we're going. I'm getting you committed. Immediate

Stephanie: 25:38

because

Dani: 25:39

yeah, get him a car.

Stephanie: 25:40

And especially like with no plan, I'd be like, no, there's seriously something wrong. If Danny has no plan, like

Dani: 25:45

we'll get a back some beer. Easy peasy. Let's go. No, we, we. That would be a big red flag. Yeah. Yeah. Red flag or two, if there's not an Excel spreadsheet or like a to-do list with several pages. I know something's fucking wrong. I surely, uh, well, I probably would bargain by a bat. I'm, I'd be smarter than that. Like I would buy the bat the year before a yard sale. Mm-hmm. And nobody would even know. Never, no trace of the bat. And I surely wouldn't tell investigators that I bought a baseball bat when they found a half of a baseball bat. Right. I'm sure it covered in blood. I didn't read that, but I'm sure it had broken, uh, with the, with the dead man's id. Wonderful ladies, I truly am flabbergasted, baffled. Just are you flabbergasted? Incredibly gassed and I. If there's anyone I'd want to talk to, it'd be these two to be like, what the fuck were you thinking? Okay. Pardon me? What the fuck? Literally the fuck Judge Bell said he was struck by mercado's. Lack of remorse after the murderer. Yeah. No shit. Mercado sent a text message to a friend saying quote, why don't. Want another crazy part? I don't even feel bad. Oh, it was a rush. Oh, you fucking weirdos. What? How did we get here? And another text message between Ricardo and Fluter John. Flutter. John, ask Mercado quote, do you think you can be forgiven if you feel no remorse?

Stephanie: 27:24

Wow. Really deep questions were concerning ourselves with.

Dani: 27:28

Why are you fucking, it's fucking 2007. There's technology. Yeah. This isn't 85, bro. they killed Sean for$267 that he received after getting paid earlier that day. You fucking loser ass dweebs. What the fuck? Like this is Oh man. You wanna just murder someone randomly because you need to pay your cell phone bill when all of your other needs are met. Right now you're not a murderer. Like you have some felonies for some drugs and also being a shit parent, which fuck you, but. This is like what a disgrace is. All I, you're struggling with understanding. This is why I, even though, because normally it was a struggle for me to research this and, and it's a little bit of a shorter case because they both ended up pleading out, but I was like, this is absolutely fucking ridiculous. Yeah, this is one of the stupidest, and we

Stephanie: 28:34

don't even have anything like we've had with other cases where it's like, well,

Dani: 28:37

actually they are missing half their brain because they shot the, you know, they were shot in the head. We've had two of those. Yeah. Yeah. There's two people where they're like, yeah, good chunk of their brain's missing where I'm like. Sure. Yeah. Okay. What the fuck? What is happening here? And they were passing all of their drug. I'm not saying you can't manipulate that, and they couldn't figure it out. But they had their lives together enough to do it. Were they were smart enough to manipulate it. What the fuck? So we're in 2008. on January 22nd, 2008, judge Debra Bell sentenced Mercado to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 45 years. That's a long time'cause she was 22. Good. During the sentencing hearing, Mercado said quote, Sean didn't deserve to die. Die. If it means giving up the rest of my life, I would do it. I feel like that was just, that was something that you saw on a fucking Hallmark card or something you heard on another like movie. Fine. I'll say something. Wish I could take it back. Wish it was me, not him. To just so callously do that. It's just wild for anyone, especially a woman. And Shawn's family was unimpressed with her statements, her tears and her sentence and he said,

Stephanie: 29:57

yeah, anyway. Fuck this. They

Dani: 29:57

wanted, they wanted the death penalty. I bet they did. But you know, Idaho struggles with that. So, um, and I really feel like I was, so it was because they were a woman that they did not get life without parole, at least. Right. I really truly believe that. there was nothing in the paper that, suggested, you know. Mitigating circumstances, like, oh, I was beat, or, oh no, they were just fucking, they wanted$267 and you know what? They probably spent at least$10 at the liquor store. So, yeah. I mean, you had some cash. Yeah. And they didn't have rent, electricity, water, sewer, trash. Did they even have a car? Did they have a car? Pa Like even that like. Yeah, this is for a cell phone bill. Cell phones weren't even super pop. Like they were kind of with younger people, but there was almost everyone still had a house phone. Yep. Around that time, I would say. Yep. It was still very common. Payphones were still everywhere. Yep. It wasn't like a dire thing, like now when you don't have a house phone or you might need it for your job or whatever, you are not using your phone for your job in oh seven. You had a, if you were fancy, you had a fucking pink razor and you were the shit. I had a red one. Yep. Thank you. So yeah, these fucking girls, I'm so just disgusted and disappointed of what the hell, in February of 2008 flood, John is sentenced to life with a possibility of parole after 35 years. All right, because she just borrowed the knife. Wait from a gen. Was she the one that had the one knife from the gentleman? Oh, sorry. I've, I've gotten now I've fucking too emotionally involved. Oh, Mercado Dipped by the baseball Bat Mercado. Bat Fluter John Knife. Yep. Borrowed Dream team folks. Wow. Sean's ex-wife, Susan Denny, testified about the impact of the murder that it made on their 9-year-old daughter. Yeah, how traumatic is that? She met these fucking horrible people

Stephanie: 32:18

and they said hi to her and probably were very sweet and cutesy.

Dani: 32:23

The girl has nightmares about being murdered and doesn't believe having friends is safe. Fair. Well, yeah, dad thought that he had some friends, me and my friends, he thought that they were nice enough that he introduced them to his daughter in front of his ex-wife. So, I mean, that's saying something. If you think someone's just like a little fling or whatever, you're not gonna bring'em around. The ex-wife. No.

Stephanie: 32:47

You're gonna say, these are my friends that are also, you know, getting better. We're all working on ourselves. We're gonna go, we go AA together, we're gonna go hang out.

Dani: 32:56

Oh my gosh, these cunts, I'm sorry, both of y'all are cunts to meet the daughter and still be like, yes, the$200 is worth it. I

Stephanie: 33:05

might even get a new raise of Verizon has a deal.

Dani: 33:09

Fuck you. This is why I told you this story and 2025. There is nothing like, there's no appealing. They just pled like it is what it is. So in 2025, Jennifer Mercado is currently 40 years old, residing at the Pocatello's Women Correctional Center. She'll be eligible for parole in 2052, and Diana Futter, John is 51 also. Residing at the Pocatello Women Correctional Center, still kind of roomies, just different units. How lovely that they get to travel through life together. I wonder if they still enjoy each other's company just as much. After this many years, being in a fucking prison cell, was it worth it for your bestie and her cell phone bill? The thing is, I don't even think they were fucking bestie stuff. They weren't, they seem like acquaintance, like out of convenience. Like you're living

kind of roommates, right? Yeah. I always wanted to kill someone. I work with you down. Let's go. Yeah. Dope idea sis. What? And you know what? They were all working there. They knew exactly what Shawn's paycheck was. It wasn't like he had some like big thousand dollars a week thing. No, he was getting paid minimum wage and$200 wasn't even a lot back then. I mean, of course it was more, but it wasn't like a big windfall. No, it wouldn't change. He was your life. He was making five bucks an hour, probably. So anyways, thank you for telling me this story, even though it pissed me off at these dumb. Dipshits. Once again, thank, thank you ladies for showing that women can be some of the most stupid, dumb idiots. Callous for no reason too. And I hope that you rot because what the fuck I, when it's for no reason like this, whether it's a man or woman, it just makes me like upset. But you don't usually see it with women of this just random.
