re: #183 McSpiff

As much as I agree with gun control, I need to post a story that I have a small personal connection to. I grew up with the murderer. He had a reputation for beating his girlfriends, and assulting others in general. No one was surprised when he finally killed someone:

‘Cruel monster’ sent to prison

He didn’t need a gun at all. I suspect given in this case that the killer was a professional athlete that he wouldn’t have either. Maybe he wouldnt have killed her that day, but I suspect he would have some day. I could be imposing my bias here though.

I just don’t buy that argument. There are no indications right now that the NFL player had any history whatsoever of any violence. In fact, I have heard nothing but shock from those that new him or of him. We have no idea what may have led to this or caused this man to snap as he did.
By the way are you still in that part of AB. I do some work around Red Deer every now and then.
