I knew this kid. He was impressed that I pronounced his name correctly (broo-SAARD.) I once worked with his step-sister, and that pit-bull in the news video is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met. These people are not Known Criminals around here, and this is a fairly small town (during summer anyway, when the university kids are gone.) I wonder what the hell went wrong.

Nothing good!
ReplyDeleteSad. Domestic disturbances are so unpredictable.
ReplyDeleteCatching up around here...
ReplyDeleteFirst - Yes to your post on Obamacare. Still shaking my head.
Second - Happy Anniversary
Third - this story breaks my heart. SO sad, so tragic and most likely very avoidable
My Mom was a police officer, she dreaded going on domestics of any sort. It usually never ends well.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. It always shakes me up when things like this happen in my town. I thought the article was pretty vague. It seems like there is a lot not getting said, and I can't help but wonder why.
ReplyDeleteI know, Dreamer - and still no follow-up. Most of our cops are good guys, but the comments in the online local rag are full of nasty accusations. Then again, we have an established contingent of race-baiters here too. So who knows?
ReplyDeleteI was stunned when a nice boy I went to high school with stabbed and killed our vice principal about 10 years after graduation.
