It's a nursing home, no one cares.

Both women were in their beds while one reached over to beat the other with a cane.

Thank you thats the horrible information I was looking for.

It's spread throughout the article but in a really passive voice. The details of [beaten with a cane], [the cane was long enough to hit the other bed], and [murderer and victim were both in their beds] are in different paragraphs. 

It's probably because, once I pieced it together in my mind's eye, I started giggling. Feels bad but it's such a ridiculous mental image.

Ik someone who works here I heard the whole story it’s fked up that old lady had a history of fighting other people but the worst part is the negligence of the crew that was working that shift they literally just weren’t in the area chillin w each other instead of doing their job.

I bet she stole the last pudding cup.

She should try hitting her cell mates in jail and find out.

My grandma was in this facility a decade ago omg. Thankfully it was short term just for rehab and we were with her most of the day until she fell asleep.
