Once again, I seem to have missed something in your drivels, please explain why the perpetrator of this horror isn’t properly to be described as a subhuman. You would probably have a very different view if he had invaded your home or your daughter’s and done it. If you can’t, everything else you’ve said is meaningless garbage. You seem to be one of those defenders of despicable politicians, like the Clinton defenders, who take perverse joy in attacking the very people who try to bring such politicians to account, much like someone defending criminals by attacking cops.

I’m very sorry to hear this. Prayers for her family and friends, and I hope they catch and fry the perp quickly.

Is this the right thread to start a pissing contest?? Have some respect for this girl and her family.

I stand corrected, you're right. My anger got the best of me

Prayers for her and her family

I believe she played Ann Coulter in the movie W. Very sad and tragic (her death I mean).

“probably have a very different view if he had invaded your home or your daughter’s and done it.”
I would experience shock, and grief, I would certainly want the assailant brought to justice (I may even want to cut their throat) but I would be appalled at someone using their body for a soap box. Good Day, NFAR.

It is very sad that a young woman, especially one whose face is well known, has to contend with stalkers, potentially violent acquaintances, and unknown predators. I pray for her, those who loved her, and for our nation to be healed. I grew up in the rural south in a time when we never locked the doors and the key was always in the car, I miss that.

From what I've read, she let her dogs out, they were found outside. That may be why her door was unlocked. Also see this post.

I miss that too. Our front and back doors were open with only a screen door in the summer because we had no AC. Everyone in my small hometown knew each other and there was NEVER a problem

My attitude has changed. When my Husband leaves, I turn on my alarm system, load my shotgun and am determined that if someone breaks in, they forfeit their life.

The father believes because of the cruelty of the attack, it was not random. She played the part in the film W. of a patriotic reporter who supported Bush on Iraq.

You’re a troll. You know...you post garbage to make it appear that conservatives are jackasses. You sir are the jackass. The animal that killed that woman needs put down. Chances are very good it was an Obamessiah supporter.

And you would be in the middle of a lynch mob.

I have been told that a really brutal attack, especially with blows to the face, usually is by someone known to the victim and who has a grudge against the victim (rejected romantic interest, ex-spouse, business partner, etc.). It does sound as if this case was just robbery, though, because the perpetrator of a purely personal revenge attack generally doesn’t use the victim’s credit card later. Also, I believe her pocketbook was missing.

In any case, it’s very sad. She sounds like somebody who had something to contribute to life, and she was apparently well-liked. I sure hope they get this guy ASAP.

Well, if the mob was going to lynch the animal who did this to this woman, I’d raise my torch, point my pitchfork and cheer when he was hanged.

Thanks for the information. I will end with a brief statement not at all directed to you. This young woman, as well as many others, was place in additional danger by our deteriorating justice system. If we are going to rail against anything, this should be it. In closing, I did not come to this tread to start anything, the posters on this thread will be judged by what they write, not how I make them look.

Then I can only pray that you get the perpetrator, instead of someone you think is an Obama supporter and was later determined to not be involved. Justice has to be cold and unemotional for it to work properly. It is currently weighted, by emotion, for the perpetration but the reverse is just as harmful.
