I don’t have TV. I like to get to the heart of news stories. I am very annoyed by the “eyewitness” account of how they “felt” during an event.
The singular purpose of my post was to eliminate the fluff crap from the story and get on with what actually happened according to the reporter. And it was in no way to support the veracity of the facts, as reported in the story. The “handholding” is a worthwhile part of the story. If it is wrong, well, that matters to me as well.
Something wierd was definitely going on there, that’s for sure.
Nothing “weird” about it. Skippy, did you not read? I KNOW the wife of the victim. The DAUGHTER DID NOT KNOW her husband was going to pull on a gun on her father. She IS DISTRAUGHT WHAT PART OF THIS ARE YOU NOT FREAKING GETTING?
This perp. had a history of domestic violence against the perp.’s wife, the victim’s daughter. I think I have just a weensie bit more information than some reporter who was getting conflicting [and often times people thought they saw X or misinterpret X] stuff, or the reporter may have misinterpreted what was said. It’s like it being “gospel” that Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house. Or it still being bandied about that Rush L. said Sandra F. was a “slut.” [Which he DIDN’T ... he asked if she *was* which is different from saying she was, because by what she herself said to use that amount of money on BC one would wonder if she was running a business on the side that required $1000 purchases of condoms to claim she was spending. But the news media gets it wrong and it’s repeated to satisfy an agenda!]
I ALSO know the priest involved. The reason I commented at all was to let everyone know that the victim looks like he can pull out of it, and from what *inside* sources tell me the brain was not hit by the bullet. I’m not saying it’s going to be easy, or that something else may not happen to his physical condition, but I know that naturally a lot of people will wonder how the man is holding up. His wife has been a champ.]
I wanted to avoid NEEDLESS AND STUPID speculation that the daughter “must have known” or “was in on it” or crap like that because the first news report didn’t say what happened to the daughter and made it sound like there was a vendetta by the both of them skipping in “hand-in-hand” like Bonnie and Clyde or something.
