"It's kind of very ironic that this would happen," Hughes said.

Yeah. A little bit.

Prayers to all. The peace corps always seemed to me like a liberal organization...does anyone feel this way or is it just me. Yes I know they do good work, but they just seem liberal to me...lol.

WTF, genius?

Is it "kind of", or is it "very" ironic?

Hughes said Schaeffer had talked about joining the Peace Corps -- an indication, Hughes said, that Schaeffer was on an altruistic path.

Well, so he murdered their other friend. Nobody's perfect.

Gettysburg Police found Silverstein fatally stabbed and strangled

"In simple words, he's a good guy," said Hughes, a junior.

Another gem from this Hughes guy.

The NRA appears to be vindicated on this one.

Guns don't kill people...

NO cheers, unfortunately.

Prayers up for the families of those involved...

A chapter of Students for a Democratic Society?

Hm.

Silverstein's friends described her as an active member of Amnesty International and a resident of the campus Peace House -- where students interested in human rights and environmental issues can choose to live.

Friends described Silverstein as a vegetarian and a liberal. She was studying Arabic and had plans to study abroad in Morocco in the fall.

As for Schaeffer, the group said he, too, was actively involved in campus activities and had big plans. Having recently completed his senior thesis on the plight of Native Americans, Schaeffer's friends said he seemed drawn to that cause.

Hughes said Schaeffer had talked about joining the Peace Corps -- an indication, Hughes said, that Schaeffer was on an altruistic path.

Good God. It sounds like everyone at that school is some kind of self-righteous, insufferable, cause-oriented bore.

"...No one can defend what police allege Kevin Schaeffer did, but the seven friends insisted the 21-year-old history major is a good person, who might have done a bad thing..."

I saw a thing on television recently (my five minutes per month) where an inmate at a high security prison (75% serving life terms) talked about his incarceration for a double murder...in his words: "I just had a bad day."

Well, I guess so. I think these people are mentally disturbed. The guy most likely stabbed and strangled her, and these liberal idiots are being apologetic for him.

I expect to hear them say next it was his upbringing, or the eight years under Bush that did it. What is wrong with those people?

Considering that we just elected Obama, why in hell would someone still be fighting for a democratic society.

Bottom line, these were two evil people who hated this country. I’m happy to their both out of business.

Sorry for their parents, but they likely were the enablers - nurturing their hatred...so they deserve it to.

I live in Gettysburg and this is a big story here. It was a crime of passion. Apparently she broke up with him, and he took it very badly. He punched the girl, then strangled her, and then stabbed her in the neck several times with a steak knife. The autopsy happened yesterday morning, and nobody’s saying officially that he raped the girl too, but that’s the scuttlebutt.

SDS??? The bum did a real winner. Now if he would only get the death penalty we would be rid of two pieces of garbage.

Perhaps it was just a traditional Leninist-Trostkyite problem, solved in the traditional way.

While this small group may think of themselves as deep and thoughtful they sound no different than the average mom of a perp in the hood. We have all heard the stories about drug addicted moms who swear their sons were good boys right up until they raped or murdered someone.

Here's the local story:

Autopsy: 3 causes in death

Here's another story which reveals that her parents were "activists."

Slain college student was ready to tackle the world

The victim

The perp

Stupid liberals. Stupid, stupid, stupid. “He was a good person who did a bad thing”. They are so infantile! They can’t even call a murderous thug a murderous thug!

I do agree with the Kool Aid drinker that a couple of peaceniks involved in a brutal homicide is pretty darn ironic!

I pray the parents and family eventually find some peace and solace. How tragic to lose a child at any age, but when it’s one so young and the death is in a manner so brutal and senseless, I can imagine that the pain is felt even more keenly. It doesn’t matter how grown up they seem, they’re always your baby. God bless them in this horrible time.
