Remember, folks: whenever a woman says "die for me because you are a man," just look her in the eye and say "my body, my choice."

Violence Too Close to Home

I knew this kid.  He was impressed that I pronounced his name correctly (broo-SAARD.)  I once worked with his step-sister, and that pit-bull in the news video is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met.  These people are not Known Criminals around here, and this is a fairly small town (during summer anyway, when the university kids are gone.)  I wonder what the hell went wrong.

  2. Catching up around here...

    First - Yes to your post on Obamacare. Still shaking my head.
    Second - Happy Anniversary
    Third - this story breaks my heart. SO sad, so tragic and most likely very avoidable

  3. My Mom was a police officer, she dreaded going on domestics of any sort. It usually never ends well.

  4. I'm sorry. It always shakes me up when things like this happen in my town. I thought the article was pretty vague. It seems like there is a lot not getting said, and I can't help but wonder why.

  5. I know, Dreamer - and still no follow-up. Most of our cops are good guys, but the comments in the online local rag are full of nasty accusations. Then again, we have an established contingent of race-baiters here too. So who knows?

  6. I was stunned when a nice boy I went to high school with stabbed and killed our vice principal about 10 years after graduation.
