Homicidal Hometown Homies

My hometown of Waterville, Ohio was the sort of place that epitomizes 1980s nostalgia. We used to ride bikes all over the place, it was safe and no one worried about us. Not coincidentally it was also basically 100% White.

Even today it is still a pretty White town even as it has grown and again not coincidentally this makes it’s schools great and it is a hot zip code for people who can afford it to live there. As of the 2010 census the town was 96.7% White and only 0.5% black. Those are the kind of demographics people with means want to live in.

Alas, even in a town like that with virtually no blacks….they still manage to get up to their shenanigans.

Waterville man accused of strangling woman to death at nursing home

Guess who….

As an aside, the Lucas county jail always has photos like this with a glaring white background.

Police arrested a Waterville man for allegedly killing a woman at a nursing home.

Court filings show Roscoe Gilmore Jr., 63, of Waterville, is facing charges of murder and strangulation in the death of a woman whose identity has not yet been released.

Authorities allege he used a towel to strangle a woman to death at a nursing home located in the 500 block of the Anthony Wayne Trail on Tuesday. Gilmore also lives there, the affidavits said.

Notice that he lives in the nursing home in Waterville, so he isn’t likely an actual resident of the town. I am not sure why a man who is 63 is in a nursing home but he clearly is healthy enough to strangle someone to death.

Your daily reminder that any number of blacks greater than zero is too many and even when they are older they still cause mayhem and murder.

    I am not sure why a man who is 63 is in a nursing home…

    Because you are very generously paying for his stay, Mr. Dutiful Taxpaying Citizen.

    Beloved wife worked her entire career in geriatrics, starting as an aide way back in the day, then through a dozen nursing positions, finally retiring as corporate nursing director for a consortium that owns multiple medical facilities. She has seen the evolution of nursing homes from short-term final stops (days, weeks) for the terminally aged to permanent residences of the mentally ill, some as young as their 40s. All that is required is a qualifying diagnosis, renewed periodically by accommodating goobermint social workers and med/psych “professionals”, and you, dutiful taxpayer, pick up the tab.

    Long gone are the days when nursing homes were just somewhere to stash granny as she wheezed her last breaths while her estate was drained as much as possible in those precious final days. Occupants are referred to now as ‘residents’ and no longer ‘patients’, to underscore the more permanent nature of their stays. The homes have themselves been rebranded “Skilled Living” or “Skilled Nursing” facilities to ease any stigma and association with the strictly elderly. And since the vast majority of ‘residents’ are Medicaid cases, the facilities take literally any approved applicant (provided their meds and treatments, heavily vetted in advance, are not too costly) cramming them in like sardines.

    Such “care” facilities are an absolute nightmare of neglect and abuse, between chronically short staff, psychotic residents, and the caliber of “caregivers” who have gone into the field for the relatively good pay on minimal requirements (think: Haitian aides, Filipino nurses). My advice, as always, proffered unbidden to any who will listen, is simply this: Don’t get sick, don’t get old.

      When I was scouting assisted living facilities for my mom, the worst one I found (by far) was also the 2nd most expensive (out of 10 or 12). It was as you describe, a shithole. I formed the impression that the reason their rates were so high was because Fedgov only pays X percent, so they needed higher rates to make the $ amount of that percentage higher. The only place I saw that was more expensive was one for multimillionaires where they charge you a million buck fee just to get in the door, to keep the riff raff out.

        “Medicaid Bed” (in long term care facility) payment schemes are complex – cost is shared by State and Fed Gov – 40/60 very roughly; Wealthier states pay a higher share; Obama care (ACA) changed things; Fed gov pays more like 90% for those eligible for ACA – hence the manic effort made by states to expand ACA enrollments. Bottom line – if your parent has been reasonably wealthy and lives in a wealthier state – state tax payers pay for over half of the care. The gentleman above probably was at the 90% fed level – an additional reason why he was there – there is an incentive to fill your Medicaid Beds with patients like him. And all this, of course after your parent has spent down their entire store of wealth (minus principle residence) – you don’t get a Medicaid Bed unless you are destitute.

        My mom died at home with me by her side – she paid 2K or so for an aide at the end. A very real blessing for her and for me. That is simply not possible for many extremely ill elderly and their families.

    The US is going to require zero mud people to return to a semblance of normality. There are a lot of them, it’s going to take a while. I probably won’t see the end of it, my grandson will however.

    Nextdoor describes Watertown as; “Watertown is a peaceful neighborhood in Waterford, USA, known for its clean, open spaces. It’s a dog-friendly area with pleasant houses.” Too bad it is also 2G friendly. I trust dogs-they have superior instincts and discernment. Oh-for the good old days of a White America.

    1965ish,Grampa had a country store between Humble and Houston. An all white neighborhood in one direction, all black,across the road. Everyone was treated with respect. All behaved with dignity. The black women would carefully assess the amount of Argo starch in the boxes,trying to find one that has a tenth of an ounce more. I was too young and stupid to understand why. But Nobody stole Anything from my Grampa. Nobody got a herd together to come in and empty the store.IMO,the situation has actually been cultivated. The end ain’t iguana be pretty.

      I grew up just outside of Humble. Used to be fairly decent, but last time I was there (about 15 years ago), it was totally consumed by the sprawl from Houston.

    As I said before & will say it again & again, it was never like this when I was growing up in the late 1950’s. By the way, nursing homes were still rare until Medicare & LBJ’s Great Society Program came into existence back in the mid 1960’s.
