However what Mr. Costas did is no different than what Hank Williams Jr. did. Having an opinion is not the issue but when you are someone in the realm of entertainment be careful when you open your mouth because it could come back to bite you.

Fox News takes tragedies and turns them into devices to spread THEIR own opinions and rhetoric (forgotten about the disgraceful way they covered the story of the missing girl this summer?) Ever heard of the First Amendment? Did your remotes break or your mute buttons fail? Grow up! Everyone in the world doesn't parrot your belief! And how dare some of you say that he would have found a way to kill this poor woman without guns. I don't know a faster and easier method than picking up a gun and pulling the trigger.

Why? Because he advocated no such thing. All he said was they would be alive if they did not have a gun. You can decide whether you believe him or not but he said absolutely nothing about outlawing guns. Maybe you all should ask yourself why you spew the NRA company line by default. This large extremely fit person did not need to buy a hand gun for protection, he chose to buy multiple guns because he embraced the gun culture in the US and Jason and Bob questioned his choice for doing so, no more, no less. (By the way, he reportedly kissed her and apologized immediately after shooting her so if he did not have a gun in his hand at that moment, there is a good chance Costas was right and they both would be alive today.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408836249068921607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-64060680794915880822012-12-04T20:07:29.522-05:002012-12-04T20:07:29.522-05:00DC has recorded a 19 percent drop in homicides in ...DC has recorded a 19 percent drop in homicides in the first half of 2012, compared to the first half of 2011, according to data collected and analyzed by Homicide Watch DC.<br /> <br />The homicide data also shows a significant decrease in gun violence and domestic violence, compared to last year. <b>Meanwhile, a greater proportion of homicides have resulted from fatal stabbings.</b><br /> <br />Wiley Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16966764080565903720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-51797390111497370542012-12-04T20:02:47.625-05:002012-12-04T20:02:47.625-05:00~~Richard Franklin Speck was a mass murderer who s...~~Richard Franklin Speck was a mass murderer who systematically tortured, raped, and murdered eight student nurses from South Chicago Community Hospital on July 14, 1966.

In other instances, cloth gags were found lodged deep down the victims' throats, leading the investigators to conclude that 13 of Gacy's victims died not of strangulation, but of asphyxiation.<br /><br />~~Jeffery Dahmer - killed most of his victims by sedating them by putting large ammounts of a benzodiazapine in their drinks,and once they were good and sedated, he would strangle them,then,AND ONLY THEN, he woulod dismember them.<br /><br />~~ Ted Bundy - Bundy's favored method was to first gain control usually by bludgening with a crowbar he kept in his infamous Volkswagon Bug. The murders he committed at the sorority house in Florida he used a piece of wood he had found right outside the house. After being hit over the head the victims were strangled as they were raped by Bundy. <br /><br />Wiley Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16966764080565903720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-28935097251470468962012-12-04T19:55:24.448-05:002012-12-04T19:55:24.448-05:00Someone needs to ask the family of the professor a...Someone needs to ask the family of the professor and his fiance who were killed with the crossbow about guns being the reason people are killed.
