Probably unnecessary, but keep Krasner well away from this.

Let’s say German speakers from Palatinate and Switzerland.

It’s always a treat to read and hear all the experts comment on how the cops are incompetent, and then see this.

In a nutshell, the MPD has told civilians “we’re investigating and you don’t get a vote.” Good on ‘em.

Both these comments are awfully weird, almost implying it’s okay to kill if it’s geographically correct. Check your beliefs, guys.

The prosecutor in the OJ case did a p8ss poor job.

Kosher people don’t eat milk dishes from pans that meat has been cooked in. Just saying.

Probably true, but look at the incredible industry it spawned -

No. it was to say that the person was in the area of the murders. The comment I replied to was a geographical comment. Not a morality one.

“Of course he was (colluding with Russia).”

Thanks, it’s always good to know where people stand on Trump.

Donald is amazing and would have gone to me public high school. In Jamaica Queens. But his father sent him off to a military school upstate on the Hudson.

I’m sure a PA judge will release him on his own recognizance. If I was the dad of any of the deceased, I’d put up the bail for him. Sorry your honor, he left for a walk and never came back.

Unless you’ve dressed/butchered large animals you might not have a feel for how much strength it takes to thrust/slice/stab with a large knife especially if it has a heavier profile blade like the reported “Kabar” style would have had. And one doesn’t just point and stab. You also have to restrain/hold or otherwise pull back on the target to get penetration. It’s a two-handed job.

The father of one girl said she was “sliced” in the back-—thru a lung and liver. That requires two hands. If nothing else, watch a butcher work sometime——it’s a two handed job and the cow/pig/goat/sheep isn’t fighting back. In this case it seems while one was being stabbed the other was resisting, based on reports of “defensive wounds?”

So, yeah, there’s a bit of a skill set involved. And, oh, yeah. Getting the knife sharp is another minor skill. Having sold thousands of knives over the years I can say that very few are completely sharp off the rack. Manufacturers do that to keep casual customers from needing bandaids before they get home. Anyone planning on doing damage with a knife would try to fully sharpen it before going to work.

Without a bit of experience cutting up meat, etc. it would seem likely that the killer probably knicked himself. To demonstrate for yourself, try picking up a 7” knife sometime and visualize how you would stab or slice a moving target with it. For half the strokes the blade will be pointing at yourself. So, yeah, there’s some skill involved.

I did not know that.

I apologize to anyone who I may have inadvertently compared to a psychotic murderer.

When arrested he asked if anybody else had been arrested. Was there an accomplice?

Any Southern man who carries a pocket knife has the so called skills you describe.   They are called life skills.

Those "skills" are learned by living.   I'm sorry, I forget how isolated and pampered the metro dwellers have become.

Don’t you think they had an eye on the Hyundai while he was still in the Idaho area but unable to make an arrest waiting for forensics?

“Kohberger is a German name...definitely NOT “Amish”!”

Moreover, his middle name is “Christopher,” which means “Christ-bearing.”
