Glad my coworkers weren’t harmed.
On behalf of taxpayers everywhere,thanks for taking one for the team.
Very sad that things happen in life that it has end for both of them and their families the way it did.
David,, do you have some inside information you’d like to share to justify your “conviction” of the suspect?
Have at it,,,, since he can’t defend himself because he is dead.
Ya can’t lose on this one so.. let’s have it.
The floor is yours counselor..
I second the taxpayer savings…thanks…@ you ,even Barney fife could solve this one…
You are right,anonymous person. I guess I’ve grown so weary of the nonstop stories of crimesters and their antics that in this case I assumed the worst. I owe the corpse and his family a posthumous apology. I guess I take the breakdown of society harder than most because I am old enough to remember a more civil and safer society. Either way,there are no winners in this story. I am sorry.
Guys..You might want to be careful what you post on here..Looks like this couple had two children that can read these comments..It’s a Family tragedy. Also @ David..If I put what you wrote on top..the Bulldog would not post my comment…Hmmm..
David,there has always been this kind of behavior.In the times you remember news was just not as easily obtainable as it is now.There were also a lot less people perpetrating this behavior.With over three hundred million people in this country no wonder there are so many problems.We need a serious culling,Then we may be able to make this place a free country again!!!
Gee David, you sound like one of us conservatives! Usually you guys defend the criminals. Be prepared to be ostracized by your herd!
Cap,I have been voting since 1976 in every state,local national election Near as I can figure,I have voted 50% Dem,40% Rep,and 10% Ind,Green,andLibertarian. Voted for Reagan twice but in the last 20 or so years the Reps have gotten too creepy for my tastes.with crooks creeps ,draft dodgers etc. I have scant use for the far left or far right. I have strong conservative views. I believe in a strong national defense (DEFENSE,not a white house full of draft dodgers sending our finest young folks off to die or be maimed to steal someone’s oil or ” he tried to kill my little daddy” remember that one. Don’t lie us into pointless wars). I am for the death penalty but I will be even more strongly for it the first time I see a rich guy in the electric chair. I have strong right views on matters of race.secure borders,welfare for the able body undeserving,single “mothers mass producing children without fathers,and am strongly in favor of gun owner’s rights and more. We really arent that far apart. Decause I refuse to march in lockstep with the Repub party line I am branded a lib here. ANYONE who votes with the only criteria being whether it says R or D next to their name should not be allowed within 100 yards of a polling place, The only purpose that draft dodgers like Limbaugh and Savage (real name is Weiner) serve is to save conservative conservatives the trouble of thinking for themselves.
Paul…. to who should go the responsibility of the ‘serious culling’?
I guess that makes me a DINO!
Sorry for the disjointed post. I type slowly and poorly.
