Not to sound crass, but there are many murders which take place across this country.
I wrote Yes there are, and this is one we have chosen to discuss at this time.
Where does his statement that I replied to ask "WHY are you discussing this case at this time?"
There is a topic on FR to discuss crime because many of us happen to be interested in that topic. Of course it's not the only thing going on and we are well aware of that.
You are right, I didn't ask literally that question, in so many words.
I asked other questions whose import and purpose was the same as that question. But I didn't ask that exact question, no.
I would like to know the answer to that question, though. If it's not too much trouble.
