Yes, those were so much more innocent times. When you start killing people at the skill positions, it's really gone too far.

I can hear Wade's attorney now:

"My client's victim had a right to die. Furthermore, a bullet to the head is a very natural way to die. It produces a state of euphoria that is quite pleasant to the recipient."

Any chance he'll get signed to an NFL contract after he's acquitted?

I don't know.....this probably will not improve his draft position.....except possibly with the Raiders, who have moved him up 12 slots on their board.

Are you really that ignorant to say something like that. When you are sitting in your car getting ready to leave you don't have anything coming to you. You better choose your words a little better next time.

Another piece of evidence that supports the idea that "Nothing good happens after midnight".

Or their pregnant girlfriends?

Yes, I am. I was just participating in the humorous exchanges going on here. I was responding to the remark that killing someone in a skill position was going too far. Did you give that person grief?

If you would like a serious discussion of this I will adjust my attitude accordingly.

That's Loren Wade...I believe he's the shooter.

Pretty stupid move with half a dozen off-duty Sheriff's Deputies standing around.

His goose is cooked.

"His goose is cooked."

Yep. Why do people do things like this? He looks like a nice young fellow in the picture. Now he's killed someone and ruined his own mother's life. Good job, not!
