What ever happened with the person who was shot and killed at the hotel last week? Any news in that case?

ReplyDeleteOh come on Robert, this is just a simple assault, shades of (check your memory banks) Magruder's any location. The senior citizen battles were epic and I'm sure your audience can recall some doozeys. This bout doesn't pass the smell test.
Would you react in the same manner if you were the victim?
DeleteThat depends on what the perp instigated. My reference is to the history of grocery store battles precipitated by shoppers over simple situations. Triggered much?
