This item is a bit old, but I just heard about it. A search on FR didn't turn up anything, so, I thought it worthy of a post. Not all the NFL are thugs.

Butker's statement:

“My wife Isabelle and I are heartbroken by the murder of Lisa due to degenerate violence. Murder is a sin that cries out to God for vengeance and I pray the men involved in this tragedy will be brought to justice. Hearing that she was a fan of my outspokenness for our shared Catholic Faith makes this even more personal. I am honored to provide a jersey to the family for her to wear. While the family is mourning their loss and grappling with their numerous injuries, I will continue to pray for their healing and the repose of Lisa’s soul.”

Ever notice how when the legal minor Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed a couple people in evident self-defense, his photo was plastered across the media and everyone knew his face and his name - even though he was not an adult, but when certain other people fire into a crowd of innocents and kill, not at all in self-defense, somehow, their names and faces aren’t splashed across the media - “because they are minors”.

Did their guns “cross state lines”? (Does the media even care if they did?)

Double standard much, media?

I’m not a fan of the Kansas City Swifties, but Butker is a mensch.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo, I thought, from the headline, that the State of New Jersey was donated.

I am really ashamed.

I have a better idea. How about we have public impalement of the killer(s) Could take days to die if done properly. Would send a clear message to the rest of the sociopaths...

Did they post his photo before he was charged as an adult?
