ABC News story on Sylvia Browne's prediction on this:

A website called "Stop Sylvia Browne," dedicated to cataloguing Browne's purported failures at prediction, sprang up in 2006.
Mike, there is a member round here who likes to report people for posts like that as "death threats" and demands they should be banned. Last one, the poster merely wondered if it was possible to take out a contract on someone.
Just warning. I don't know where the boundaries are.

It looks like Browne's facebook page is gone.
Honesty, she should be shot. Shot right square in the forehead at point blank range by someone whose life was ruined by her running her big fat attention whoring mouth. Then the shooter can ask afterward, "Well, why didn't she see THAT coming?", then burst into maniacal laughter or something. That'd be a quality end to her story right there.
I was discussing this on facebook with a friend, and suddenly received from another friend a very out of left field view on all this I'm not sure how to approach or reply to other than dismissing it as jaded and selfish thinking.
Basically, a friend of mine is claiming that Brown should be free to her heart's content to do this and that the victim's deserve what they get for being so "stupid" as to fall for it and we're bad for, well, I'm not quite sure what he thinks we're bad for. He is a master of covert aggressive argument and almost is helpless without it.
Now I'm not trying to say we should outlaw people from believing and spreading woo, but I do say we should be fighting to expose these people and promote healthy skepticism andprimitive(lol I mean critical) thinking in our society, and people like Brown should be publicly exposed at every opportunity given.
I guess I just needed to vent in a place where people understand, and without his covert aggressive personal jabs.
DN said:Att besöka medier är att utsätta sig för mentala faror. Att lita på dem är att överlämna sig själv i en annan persons händer. Att tro att man någonsin kommer att få en ursäkt när förutsägelser och klarsynthet visar sig vara misstag och dimridåer är knappast något som man ska räkna med.
Och ibland kan det handla om liv och död.
Visiting a medium is exposing oneself to mental hazards. To trust them is to surrender oneself into another person's hands. To believe that you ever will get an apology when predictions and sights are shown to be mistakes and smoke screens is hardly something that one should expect.
And sometimes it can be about life and death.
...and I received more SSB email yesterday than I have in the entire past year or more.
I'm operating strictly on emotion here but I agree with Mike. She probably did help cause Amanda's mother to die of a broken heart. Sounds like murder to me!
Ok, now that I've said that, I do hope SB burns in the hell she spews about. I hope her spirit guide, Francine, turns on her and rips her up like yesterday's newspaper. I know there is nothing that can be done about SB legally, but she should suffer the verbal abuse and ridicule she so richly deserves.
