Here are her parents political contribution records. Very heavily Democratic.

Yes, but what is going through their minds now?

Are they in the upstairs bedroom, curled up in the fetal position, clutching a pillow to their stomachs with one hand, and holding a revolver in their mouths with their other?

Or are they walking around town with plastic, glassy-eyed Stepford Wives faces - smiling yet unblinking - happily greeting their acquaintances and sipping mint juleps and chatting about how nice the weather has been this spring?

Or have they experienced a profound change of heart - have they discarded & jettisoned all their old leftist beliefs & fantasies, and are they now seething with rage and preparing to get even?

That's what I'd like to know.

It could be either #1 or #3.

I find #2 unacceptable. Knowing those who have buried a child, that one is the least likely.

And it will take time for their thoughts to coalesce and form. They will be in shock for quite awhile, even a kind of denial. The world will not seem real.

Very well put. I to wonder what is going through the parents minds. I know what I'd be thinking if this was my daughter. And it wouldn't be about any Christian forgiveness, turn the other cheek and just ignore it pacifistic nonsense. The two feral hominids who committed this atrocity should be strung up and gutted like cattle.

This is an excerpt of what her father said at the convocation UNC held on campus, which attracted 10,000 or so attendees.

Bob Carson:

"The irony of Eve’s murder is that she, along with these blessed friends and fellow students, are the ones who can solve the most pressing problems of this time. Please don’t attribute this to hyperbole or relate it to a father’s sadness. I see a stunningly beautiful convergence of talent and caring in this, our children’s, generation. It is the most fantastic realization.

I believe that these kids, along with their peers around the globe, can reach reasoned solutions for mitigating violence and tackling many of the inequities of poverty, prejudice, inadequate health care and under-education. This is no pie-in-the-sky wish! These kids are smart! They’re so capable.

They’re more productive because they collaborate and communicate like no generation before them. And what is even more wonderful is their generosity. Isn’t that tremendous?"

Any assessments?

I suppose they may be unable to express their feelings about this case, either numb from the shock of the sudden, unexpected loss, on the advice of the investigators in Chapel Hill, or possibly not calling for justice to be served, so as not to lose face amongst their liberal brethren in Athens, Georgia.

I do hope the latter is not the case. Something tells me that as they look out their windows at night and wonder, “why? why?” they somehow think, “Eve would have wanted to help these young men, who were disenfranchised by society...”
