News of the day

You do realize that the city of Detroit is the murder capital of the world?  The man had every right to be on edge about someone banging on his door at 4:00 in the morning.  In retrospect and with a clear mind, the obvious right answer would have been to dial 911 and have the police come and take care of the situation, but in the heat of the moment he chose wrong. 

I am picturing the old timer in sitcoms/movies coming out with a shotgun yelling "you kids get off of my lawn", and then the gun went off.    

Yeah, I thought Caracas was the murder capital of the world.

C'mon Teo, you have lived in the US long enough to know nothing else matters outside of the US.  

The only thing that has been released to the news is that the homeowner claims that he accidentally shot her.  I don't think that any other "fact" will ever be revealed until someone develops the power to talk to the dead.   Obviously, everything else is speculation on our parts. 

I don't know what that means.  The gun discharged on its own.  His finger was on the trigger and bumped it but he didn't mean to pull it.  He thrust the gun at her in a threat to make her leave and the gun went off either because of A or B.  She reached for the gun and in their struggle it went off.  He meant to shoot a warning shot at her head and instead hit her.

The family initially claimed that he shot her because he "profiled" her....and then Al Sharpton showed up and started people "marching for justice".

from the news report: "Investigators believe Wafer, standing in his home, opened the main door and shot the gun through a closed and locked screen door..."

I just watched an episode of Hawaii Five-O that referred to this. I had never heard of it previous to that.

^Hey I like porn!

Yeah, it wasn't even funny years ago when hackers made "moot" the most influential person of the year on that Time poll.
Can't Miley Cyrus just leave us alone anyway? Like, entirely? I'm fairly sick of hearing about her... good, bad or ugly :(

As T points out she deserves to be person of the year, right in step w/ the present American mentality. Let's get it over with so we can move on to the next fiasco.
