There sure seems to be a lot of gun violence and innocent people killed by guns there in Texas.

As an apartment manager, I learned a long time ago to stay out of domestic arguments and let the police handle it.

There sure seems to be a lot of gun violence and innocent people killed by guns there in Texas.The above is intolerable. ANY large city in the U.S. and/or world has incidents like this. In fact, it is so common in some cities as to barely rate a mention in the paper. In Shelbyville, TN not too long ago a Mexican illegal alien returned to a pool hall where he had been playing pool and shot another Hispanic to death right in front of everyone.
There sure seems to be a lot of gun violence and innocent people killed by guns there in Tennessee.

Oh, and forgot to mention. When they do things like that in Texas and are tried and convicted...they're executed.

Wasn't there an incident last week where another bystander, a woman, in Brazil was shot under similar circumstances? Doctors said the only reason she lived was that the silicone in her boob job slowed the bullet enough that it didn't kill her.
I notice this guy didn't have any silicone. Perhaps there is a lesson in all this.

"There sure seems to be a lot of gun violence and innocent people killed by guns there in Texas. " why do you say this?
l.a. n d.c. maybe, don't have "that many" innocent people?

We are veratile. Not long ago a woman ran over her husband with her car and it wasn't even an SUV. Now an armed SUV would be something to fear.

Mr. Gandari was trying to calm a domestic argument when someone pulled a gun and shot him. I have two cousins in law enforcement. Both have told me that they dreaded to "take a call' to a "domestic dispute".
(They both have said that they consider it a potentialy dangerous situation like no other)

I learned a long time ago to stay out of domestic arguments and let the police handle it My husband learned the same after being assulted too many times by the "women" he was trying to help.

"Now an armed SUV would be something to fear." I always feared those tank-like Caddies with the steer horns from hell on the front of them!
Look out, here come da pimpmobile!

The Proverbs in the Bible say "He who meddles in a quarrel not his own, is like who takes a passing dog by the ears." Having been bitten this way myself, and once narrowly escaping a potentially nasty razor-blade attack on the subway one morning...I think this fragment of a story reinforces the point...as sound advice.

..like ONE, Muttly. Sorry. Obviously, I didn't write the Book.
