John ... I read the story and I have questions. First ... did your son know that man in any way? Sorry, but a 30 year old man who is shot by a 27 year old man raises a first thought in my mind ... they knew each other. Sorry, but you brought this to FR, and I'm a little curious in a Jack Klugman way.

John, can you link us to a story about this tragic death? This should be a big story.

Dang, John, that really sucks, my FRiend!
I am confident there will be an outpouring of financial and emotional support for your daughter, especially at Christmas.
I know it must really hurt you deep inside to lose him.
I hope American public can appreciate what a thankless amd stress filled job a letter carrier does - not everyone can do it. I tried it, and quit after the first day! TOO MUCH STRESS FOR THIS KID.
My deepest sympathy and prayers for your family's happiness.

Snow Bunny: thanks for this deeply sad bump.
John: I am so sorry for you and your family. I have a hard time coping with tragedy, even when it is someone else's. My answer is to pray for you all to be comforted in your sorrow.
May God Bless you and your entire family.
To: JohnD9207
John, I am so sorry that this evil happened to your family.
I note that Oklahoma is real hard on murderers. That Weed person will probably get the death penalty, richly deserved.

Oh, John....I am so very, very sorry to hear this news. It takes a lot for a father to call a son-in-law his "son"...my prayers will be with your family and I will also help financially. Please accept my sincerest condolences on your loss. DJ

John, We will pray for you to be strong for those that need you now.
To: caitlynsmom
My heart goes out to you my dear and we will pray for you.
I am going out right now to put some cookies and a card in my mail box for my postman and tell him 'Thanks' just because you made me think about it.
To: JohnD9207
Very sad. My prayers are with you.
I think even the most virulent "drug warrior" on this forum will excuse me when I say that at this moment I have a burning desire to "smoke Weed."
Alas, vengeance is the Lord's. I certainly hope the perp's insanity defense fails.

Do you remember FReeper BCM, who died at WTC on 9-11? His wife became a FReeper soon after. Do you want to take a cheap shot at her too? Go to Newsmax.com's list of US newspapers. Their link to the Tulsa World works. And see for yourself. Then an apology to John and Caitlynsmom would be in order.
