LAKELAND, Fla. (WFLA) – Police have made an arrest in the killings of former Lakeland city commissioner Edie Yates Henderson and her husband David Henderson.

Marcelle Waldon, 36, is charged with 10 felony counts, including first-degree capital murder in connection with the killings, which happened at the couple’s home on Lake Morton Drive, according to police.

Police believe Waldon got into the home through an unlocked door, and said the crime scene was “absolutely horrific” after he allegedly stabbed the couple to death. Police believe Waldon had tried to set their home on fire. When they got to the home, the stove was “gassed” and every single burner had been turned on, police said.

They described the act as random.

"They described the act as random."

Whenever the victims are white, it's always described as a "random" act.

"They described the act as random."

Yes, he was just as likely to vandalize a vending machine; it was equally probable that he steal a library book or filch a bottle of aspirin; a miscreant like this could have instead got caught "enhancing" his resumé by "upgrading" a "cum laude" Bachelor of Arts in "Geo-Science" to a "summa cum laude" Master's of Science in Physics.

I notice that they never mention the persons race if the perpetrator is black and the victims are white. They also never capitalize the “B” in black if the story is about a black perpetrator.

To be fair, these "journalists" would probably have just as blithely described these murders as "random" had the victims been Aleuts, Tibetans, Bavarians, or Kurds.

He entered their house at 9AM in the morning. A double murder in the morning in a residential neighbor.

How often does that happen?

Not likely. This is Polk Co Florida with bada## sheriff, Grady Judd. If only there were more like him.

Why they needed a big, loud dog and two equally large, loaded guns.
