By kel12347 @kel12347 (33) United States July 8, 2007 1:01pm CST I watched a movie on LMN yesterday called "Death of a Cheerleader." In it, a girl transferred to a public school and tries to be popular. My honest opinion on this is that I think that Kirsten didnt deserve to die. Kirsten didnt have anything against Bernadette before the murder.So Kirsten made a few comments. Though mortally wounded, she ran to Arthur Hillmans house across the street for help. Kirsten is forever missed. They were weird and odd mostly, I didnt like them myself. Kirsten Marina Costas (July 23, 1968 June 23, 1984) was an American high school student who was murdered by her classmate Bernadette Protti in June 1984. Bernadette had plenty of other friends, she was in that group, Kirsten didnt have anything against Bernadette, if she would of left her alone, eventually they may of became friends, no she couldnt wait, wanted it all right now and pushed and forced her way into it. Well youre bullying Kirsten( as Karen said) a dead girl who cant defend herself, that you know nothing about That movie was one sided. Bernadette was clearly very sick and disturbed, yet you appear to be minimizing or even excusing Kirstens murder by referring to Bernadette as a fragile human being, and writing Society in the richest places raise their children to be obnoxious and unbearable little freaks who will at some point push a normal person to the brink. They told about the girls ran out of School. I believe Bernadette tried to friend her, and as I read and I do believe she acted on impulse, I believe she was just so enraged she snapped and did the (unthinkable). Youre either Bernadette or her Sister, or a Close friend like Berns BFF. Smoking and cussing that is mostly the ones that were disliked. I still have nightmares of many girlfriends ignoring me, making fun of me and being just vicious. Society in the richest places raise their children to be obnoxious and unbearable little freaks. Shut up already and get a life. She didnt deserve to die. Bernadette is a Pig. She as I said, didnt want to be bothered with stupid acting people. Theres a reason why they changed the names for the movie because it was a fictionalized version and seemed entirely based on Bernadettes version of events and not anyone elses. I clearly remember hearing about the shocking murder a frightening mystery that colored every day and night in Orinda until an arrest was made. Bernadette was nice to, but she had hidden obsessions. Her house was nice to,(as nice as Kirstens) so she wasnt a lonely poor girl who struggled for friends. Worry about this Virus that is killing people Worldwide. Well it is best to not bother the girl anymore sick or not, cause she moved on and so did the Costas family, so why keep the fuel burning, its just best to let folks live their lives. I was told she had no known enemies. So they had a clique, what School or job doesnt? Im not arguing with and dont mean to appear hostile and wouldnt have bothered replying until I read that you are suggesting that you all (which I suppose includes me) sound like the people you are gossiping about. Did you ever think that she would not want to try to defend herself in court with letting out the terrible things Kristen said to her and how she berated her and others because she was sorry and she felt as though that would only add insult to injury to Kristens family? Either way, it doesnt matter because Bernadette is a bitch, which is more important any day than looks. About seventeen years ago, Arthur and Berit Costas moved from Oakland to Orinda seeking a beautiful, safe community with good schools. To this day I remember those girls well. Bernadette could be to at times She was no Angel some thought of her as Stuck up(Bernadette that is) and her BFF was kind of popular, but not as popular and Bernadette, Stacy, Diane, Jessica and Carrie. Everyone loved my friends because they were funny and not rich. We arent all made to be popular. She is rumored to have "two left feet". I didnt kill them. In this iteration, the setting is still California, but Protti's name is Bridget Moretti and Costas is called Kelly Locke. Kirsten was well liked and cared. You named all of Kirstens friends. I dont see how Kirsten was worse than any teenage girl. Bernadette should of gotten 25 to life for that Crime. You know whats really sad? I didnt know Kirsten very well. There is no way Bernadette is better than Kirsten. You and your hotshot friends don't take jobs like this because you're like great humanitarians. With this Virus, and now George Floyd, ( and the Riotings all over) Im deeply surprised people still are discussing Bernadette Protti on here, and other sites. So she could never uplift Bernadette at all. Parents sign an agreement to spend $500 to pay for green and white uniforms and cheerleading camp. Kirsten and she sort of got along, and,( sort of didnt). Kirsten was stabbed by Protti after she was chased by him back to her house after she got out of the car because she believed something was amiss. I just didnt bother with them. If it was your child that was murdered for some idiotic reasonsIm sure your perspective would change. She had a sort of ombre style in fact which was kind of weird in the 80s, but cutting edge. She had plenty of friends like in the film who loved her, but she cared only about superficial things, and people. She only confessed cause the FBI was cornering her, and she had no where to turn to. Probally Berns Relatives saying all that, or, very close friends. But we didnt care because our parents raised us not to be needy of anyones friend ship. After the terrible event, Protti legally changed her name and shifted to another place to start a new family. Bernadette was to in a (round about way) She wasnt as popular as Kirsten, she desired to have the things Kirsten had. Who are you to tell the judge what to say or do at that time? True if no one liked you she didnt either she was nasty to some people. Kirsten she liked everyone, she wasnt any bully by any means, she was so cute and funny. I highly doubt I would like you either. Maybe its the black and white look but Kirsten looked as plain as Bernadette. She did well in school academically, had plenty of friends, her close friends genuinely cared about her, she was described as popular in her own wayand she was invited to join an exclusive sorority club. She was so cute and funny, and loved to be around friends have so much fun. Really? Secondly, if you actually did your research on the true case, and not some Hollywood movie who portrayed supposedly Kirsten, who was of Greek American heritage a blond, and Bernadette, who was the real blond, a brunette. And yes Bernadette has enough problems, and theres Virus out there Worldwide that is killing people all over, and Rioters rioting in streets keeping the Virus alive, that is what the World needs to focus on today. Who cares about that, that is no reason to be lured from your own home and murdered by a psycho. Sticking up for a Murderer youre Pathetic. If it hadnt of been Kirsten, itd been her childhood friend, or someone else, cause Bern has Jealousy Issues. Kirsten, who had just finished her sophomore year at Miramonte, had started to change social circles back in junior high, recalls her good friend Diane MacDonald.

She looks like she would have lit up a room. Well 1st off Kirstens home on Orchard Rd was nice, but no Mansion like the Movie portrays a nice Ranchstyle home. Seems like alot of a holes justifying others that are a holes sorry no justification theres no reason to act like an a hole young or old, you treat all ppl with respect and the way you yourself would like to be treated dont need parents or Bible school to learn morality, any person who trust to justify any bad behavior has no morality or class in my opinion, and theres a post somewhere that says girls went along with bullying so they werent the ones being bullied lol, what a sad excuse thats called being a coward and a follower and has nothing to do with popularity depending on what ones warped definition is of popularity its not how a person looks or what they have or how they act but how they are perceived by what they do by inspiring ppl its being admirable and nothing is admirable about acting like trash talking scans that need to put others down to feel better about themselves thats just lowlives that probably pick on the handicaps as well real big of them, thats no one by definition that I popular some ppl must have thier definition all messed up and who says theyre popular anyway them lol Im sure every group thought they were the special ones, but by lowering ones level to picking on other ppl harassing demeaning and taunting them eventually theyre going to come across the wrong ppl who dont take that bs, and Im not justifying murder but it takes more than a bad comment on a pair of boots to push someone to that point, Im sure she didnt share all of the abuse she was subjected to, but I definitely compare scum that target other ppl to feel better about themselves like the leader of the holocaust and if thousands or plausibly millions werent followers of some psycho with an inflated ego than millions of ppl would have never been tortured or murdered all because scum bags like the ones that come up with excuses for bad behavior cant stand up for whats right because theyre pathetic loosers that are too afraid to stand up for whats right and they ate no better those ppl who did nothing and followed hitler were all conspirators and complicit and there are a multitude of cases just like that which is why ppl need to stop with there warped sense of wanting to belong to some misfit group that is the furthered thing from what is popular is really all about.
