Lisa Nguyen, Long Beach Graphic Designer, Murdered By Suicidal Father At 27 Years Old

and you are still coming on this site and trolling the people who knew her??

wow.... you are are sad human being. Insulting the people who knew her, by your comments and saying stupid things, like the whole social site and what not. And using a sad insults.... you are a disgusting person. I do not even think you even knew her mother, you are just saying that to justify your own opinions and your own postings on this site.

rest in peace lisa

I will always remember your dancing and energy as being the life of the party.

PS: STFU vagina face

and go troll some where else loser

Lisa would never have wanted her work to be posted by someone like you or used in this matter. She was a true artist and it's so upsetting to see how she and her work can be degraded and undermined. Do you realize that you have not even apologized yet?

Really, Simone? You think the problem that Lisa's family and friends have with this piece of writing is that you posted outdated portfolio pieces?

Did not know her well, but friends did. Even from my standpoint, this article comes across - as sbct and others have stated - speculative and disrespectful, distasteful. It serves no purpose other than to be intrusive.

Or maybe this is the kind of attention you were looking for with this piece, regardless of who you might offend?

Tribute, my derriere, LA Weekly. Real journalists don't ask ridiculous, speculative, digging questions. They report facts. Editorializing someone's death like this is pathetic and nasty, so please don't mistake this rant for anonymous Internet bravado; you truly earned it.

I met Lisa but did not know her or anything about her or her family (and I wouldn't tell you if I did, you jerks); what I do know is that my sibling is capital-D-Devastated because h** dear friend is gone under utterly devastating circumstances, and what you want is to see if there's some dirt on Lisa's family. This article's existence embodies everything shallow, self-centered, perverse, parasitic, insipid, dumbed-down, morally bankrupt, inflammatory, and WRONG about the media. Go play Schadenfreude Sleuth elsewhere, LA Weekly leeches. You suck so much more than you will ever know. Please take this heartless, soulless, grammatically-challenged excuse of a "tribute" down.

Tributes celebrate. This article is predatory disrespect.

Just because she used popular social networks and didn't change her privacy settings(or wasn't aware how to change them, since none of the sites make it easy), thatdoes not make her a public figure. This post would be merely tactless if it didn'tinclude the pointless speculation, but that bit drives this over the edge intoexploitation. It is hardly a tribute.

You can argue all day that you were technically in the right to publish this, and,while you probably were, there is a definite failure of judgment here. People whoactually know her are already paying tribute in every way they can, and did not needan article whose most extensive piece of original research consisted of logging intoFacebook.

If you're still not sure why this piece is offensive, re-read it with a friend, relative, or co-worker's name in place of Lisa's and then see how you feel.

This was meant as a tribute? Really? That's you're defense for this poorly written piece of garbage? An article that spends its time speculating about the meaning of a 4 month old tweet and dwells on the gristly details of a family tragedy is a tribute?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I think you are probably lying. Your true intention is to dig for dirt and look for a story that might bring in some ad revenue for the Weekly and perhaps give you another bullet point for your CV.

You're a "reporter," so it's to be expected. But have some tact. Show a little class.

And learn to write. Some of the sentences you churned out in this article are really, really terrible.

"reveals one especially foreshadowing thought" — I'm not sure where to even begin. A thought occurs in the brain. What was revealed was speech and is usually referred to as a tweet but could be called a message. Foreshadowing is a type of revelation, so pick one. And did you really need the emphasis of especially? It's the only tweet you picked out for us to read — we get that you think it was of particular importance.

"might be at such a fatal breaking point?" — Might? I think we can call this one.
