What bothers me is that all of our boats and equipment are at risk when we park them at a hotel/motel.

 

This is an unnecessary tragedy.

 

T&P to his wife and family.

 

I guess it is getting to the point where we all have to arm ourselves when in a tournament or just traveling with our boats and also keep a weapon in the boat while fishing.

Very sad, thoughts and prayers for the family

Thoughts and prayers for the family and everyone involved.

 

Unfortanitly that is what today's society is faced with. One reason I always am carring. My wife dosen't not like it that I do but I remind her of the fire extingisher annalagy.

So very sad. I carry whenever I leave the house. This is why some folks have fire extinguishers in their boats. Why not a firearm (on their person, not just in a boat of course)?

Sorry for there loss my thoughts and prayers go out for the family.

When I'm fishing or go anywhere I'm always armed that's another post.

This makes me furious. Two things in this world I cant stand are thieves and lowlifes.

This arouses so many hateful thoughts inside of me....that's a real tragedy 

Heartbreaking. Guess he was the kind of guy for whom hurting somebody was such an alien idea he couldn't imagine somebody doing harm to him. I can't imagine what his family is going through. He was in his prime.

Had my camp broken into one time while I was in it. I hid in a small enclosure under the bed. Afterwards I bought a shotgun, which I hope to heaven I'll never use.

It's shocking and heartbreaking...simple burglary escalates to murder.  A total waste.  I hope justice is served.

well they caught/arrested the guy and he confessed...... I wouldn't call it coming forward.

 

glad they caught the POS, and hope he fries......wait I think Mississippi does the needle.

That is horribly sad on all ends. Somehow this 17 year old boy was able to pull the trigger on an unarmed man without a 2nd thought. Tragic news like this really make me think of the line in the song " teach your children well". I don't carry a gun, I've had enought of that in oher parts of the world but this really is giving me 2nd thoughts.

Sadly, a CHL might be necessary in our world today. He should get the death penalty but probably won't because he's not 18.

Absolutely tragic and disgusting.

I think they were trying as a capital case so we shall see.

 

During the bond hearing (I think, don't quote me) the judge saw that the guy didn't have a lawyer present so the judge rescheduled.

Which makes me HOPE he had counsel present at the confession, if not the confession probably wont be allowed at trial and the POS will walk.....

two lives ruined...for plastic worms...

someone here in town was beaten in broad daylight while in his yard by two fellows, one with a metal pipe...

you need to be careful when confronting people...they are often not in the right state of mind and could cost you your life.

This stuff just really sucks big time.

 

We live on a crazy planet.

 

Thoughts out to everybody.
