We live about 15 minutes away from Northampton and often go to the historic Roxy Theater there. This is a shocking story...

This guy should have never been released after murdering someone else.

TG the Supreme Court gave us back our right to own firearms today—anywhere, anyplace in the USA—including Chicago and NYC!!!

Shame on you. There is nothing to indicate they had an on-going relationship. No woman asks for this to happen. He’s been in jail most of the time. Your comments are disgusting.

It is such a beautiful area. I have relatives there.

But they are smart enough to be armed at all times.

If I were to serve on a parole board, not a prisoner would get my vote—ever—to get out early. Why a murderer doesn’t get a life sentence everytime is beyond me.

Feh!

There are some very stupid women in this country.

They can’t live without a man...no matter how awful or insane.

He was seen going in and out of that house by neighbors who said the dumb girl had an ongoing relationship with him! It was current—he was not an ex.

Wake up, dumb divorcees!!! It’s not worth courting a criminal just to get a man in your bed.

Especially if you have children and an elderly grandfather living in the same house.

May God have mercy on her soul.

If you slit someone’s throat, there better be a damned good reason for it. If you go to prison at all, it should be for the rest of your life.

The populace in this nation is being betrayed by our political leaders and justice system.

Adults aren’t safe
Children aren’t safe
Our cities aren’t safe
Our nation isn’t safe

What a horrible situation. We don’t usually hear this kind of news from Northampton. It’s a nice area. More typical crime is of the wild graduation party variety.

In the update that you posted, it specifically says she was a "former girlfriend."

Authorities said Ballard had knife wounds and was admitted to St. Luke's Hospital-Fountain Hill, where he was arraigned Sunday on four counts of criminal homicide in the fatal stabbing deaths of former girlfriend Denise Merhi, 39; . . .>/i?

You are all complaining about this woman who had a relationship with him. It's the victim's fault, eh? Well, I'm sick of men who think they can kill their wives, girlfriends, ex-wife, ex-girlfriend. Last Thursday one of my co-workers was found dead in her SUV parked at a church in a community near our office. Her husband strangled her and is now in jail on $1 million bond. Why do you think the woman should be blamed when a man kills her or beats her up? I'm sick of it.

I'm a big fan of the Roxy too.

Just this past weekend, a good friend was telling me she feels unsafe in Forks Township and wants to get a firearm for the household. I'm pointing her towards some firearms training that is available very close to her home.

Hi,
Glad to hear you like the Roxy too. Not too many of the old movie theaters left anymore.

I’m surprised to hear that your friend doesn’t feel safe in Forks Twp. There are some beautiful developments there. Have there been burglaries?
