That's between 224 and 280 pounds here in the good 'ol U.S. of A.
1 Stone = 14 pounds
It’s been top of the news most of the day on radio. Primary coverage and the Super Bowl are vying for attention with it.
Only in the UK paper. Not online on the US sources.
I could swear that earlier on Fox and MSNBC.com, I read that he was much taller, and they gave his weight in pounds. All that information is missing from the updated articles now, and they’ve been relegated to secondary news. You have to look for the articles.
I don’t understand why the description is missing now. I understand the PC crap can’t racially profile and all, but even his height and weight. What are people supposed to do, call the police on every male they see?
Yeah, in Chicago they use that to figure out how much concrete it will take to keep the body at the bottom of the lake.
wonder if this guy was let out early by Governor Ryan. remember the governor that commuted all the death sentences. i think he let alot of people out too.
There is a segment of society that firmly believes in the death penalty... for the innocent, that is.
Story here...do not know if it requires sign-up.
This is why Kaleeeeeeforneeeeeya has a 3-strikes law.
That was a silly thing for me to say—I never watch tv, and since it’s Saturday, I haven’t even had the radio on!
Recall that Chicago banned handguns, so relax, the entire city is one big gun-free zone.
Prayers for the victims and doom on the polidiots that kept them away from the means of self defense.......
I wonder what he was doing out running around with a murder conviction against him? I thought guns were illegal in IL?
I think the story was removed because some posters couldn’t refrain from posting inappropriate comments about the store, it’s employees, and it’s customers.
Seems even the most tragic of circumstances can’t trump the urge to ridicule and mock in some folks.
Wow, you’re saying some sick bastard made comments about ‘fat girls’ because of the store?
I’ve seen some of the Lane Bryant models, they are pretty and hot. Lots of women who might shop there for tops or bottoms (not everyone is built the same way) are also very hot.
But more importantly, FIVE HUMAN BEINGS ARE MURDERED and people made jokes?
Why would people make jokes in that kind of case? It’s not a Darwin Award situation.
Any particular posters who should be banned for life?
sniffer dogs in tow...you don’t tow a tracker.
“the plus-sized clothing store”
“Was this little bit of info really needed?”
They’re just identifying the store. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.
It’s like saying Kragen, the auto parts store, or Baskin-Robbins, the ice cream parlor.
There's one who's really strange. Never any reason given why he does odd things..
That explains it. The mod is fat?
I saw it on the San Antonio news earlier. They said all five were found in the back of the store, and had been shot execution style. I think that means they all went like sheep to the back of the store. Very sad.
