    I worked in Liberty City, Florida during Hurricane Andrew 12 years ago. It is a very scary and bad area. I am blond, 5 foot 3 inches and weigh 115 pounds. Looking back I was such an idiot to go into that area. Police officers get killed in this area during the day. What was I thinking. I am just so lucky I no longer do claims and have to subject myself to crazy insureds, tenants, etc… I feel so bad for the family of this beautiful girl. My mother hated it when I worked claims and was so happy the day I went to underwriting. May God bless all the female adjusters out there that literally put their lives on the line.

    As a male insurance adjuster in Miami, I have done claims where I go to look at a roof leak or pipe break for a landlord and find the tenant has a “grow house”. I can honestly say that I was glad it was a male doing the claim and not a female. I told my supervisor about it and he said to not get involved and that I was not sent out there as a spy but to do a claim. He said that the landlord had the responsiblity to know that was going on in the house not me. I thought about the poor agent who was insuring this house and what could happen, but I said nothing and went about my business. I realize now how important it is to get involved and go something. I should of called the police regardless of what my boss said. You don’t think about what could happen and in this case the worse did. God bless this young lady and her family. I will do something in the future if I am faced with similar circumstances.

    So tell me Smitty, as an enlightened muslim, which faction of enlightened muslims are you the blood enemy of: the Shiites or the Sunnis?
    Is your wife properly sexually mutilated and kept at home, or can she go outside under a blanket that covers bruises?
    It is a sad commentary that a religion that preaches tolerance for “children of the book” are not even tolerant of their own. Member’s of their “enlightened” sect use religion to rationalize murder, terrorism and genocide.
    Before you again tout the wisdom inherent is their ways, read a newspaper or a history book, because I hate propaganda.

    It saddens me to know that someone could do that to an innocent person who’s doing their job and return she’s slain . Well I hope that they find the person or that the person of interest fesses up to his crime.
    My prayers go out the Family of the slain.

    Right, let’s blame the victim! What an ignorant comment.

    Oh this makes me furious. I am trembling with rage right now. I pray every day for the safety of our inspectors. We are all one big family, here in the insurance industry you know, and this is a loss and outrage for all of us. May God bless her family and fry the b****rd who did it.

    As a mother my heart and prayers go out to this young lady’s parents and family. As a professional in the insurance industry, safety and precaution is a given. “When in doubt, don’t do.” This young lady ran into a freak, who when found deserves what given! Show me the switch!!!
