Who knew the wrong place to be on New Year's Eve was at a party welcoming in the new year? Who knew the wrong time to be murdered was now – when people are so callous about death that it's almost as if we're asking the victim, "Just what did you do to get yourself murdered?" There are many words to describe the senseless killing of Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams. Unfortunate. Heartbreaking. Sad.

I don't know how long it will remain that way, but I just did it out of curiousity and sure enough it's true. It's totally disresectful but very predictable. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1500391/posts#comment Tue, 11 Oct 2005 12:55:41 GMT
