Deserving and feeling bad for someone are too different things.
She was a radical, radical leftist. I remember seeing some of her work, she was type to hang a soldier in effigy.
People should know that when they read this.
Another Jemima Goldsmith type.
Please reconsider - your daughter is married and your son-in-law is working. All work is honorable. Consider if he were selling drugs, robbing old ladies - or killing for fun and finance.
Your daughter must have found some good qualities in this young man. I am assuming, you raised her with good judgement. Perhaps you could encourage your son-in-law to finish school and reach for the sky. Otherwise you will be estranged from your daughter and ?grandchildren.
Not preaching, just remembering.
OMG this poor man. I feel for him, what he must be going through.
People should know, when they read this, that she was a person out having fun, not doing anything wrong to anybody, going about her life, who was murdered. Her radical leftist views do not factor into the equation, IMHO.
So, sympathy is only offered to people of the conservative persuasion who are murdered? Nice logic.
Sometimes kids take the wrong path no matter how hard their parents try to instill them with the values and ethics they'll need to succeed and raise flourishing families in the world. Some kids just have to make the mistakes and learn the lessons the hard way. Sounds like your daughter learned hers.
Man. A story with no winners.
How very sad for all of them.
Bless you.
Sorry, my previous post was intended for NoJoke, not speed_addiction.
"But you seem to believe that this actress was the same as some Iraqi car-bomber."
They both work to undermine us, whether it's people like her holding up Palestinian flags in anti-war matches, slandering soldiers at art exhibitions and trying to break morale or actually fighting against them.
Like I said, if someone that is an enemy of the US dies, I cannot grieve for them at all. Paul Wellstone was another one.
I feel bad for this father, not for Nicole or Rachel Corrie or Amy Biehl or the rest of the suicidal leftist cult.
I feel bad for her that she was murdered, but lost any burgeoning sympathy I might have had for her parents when they used her death to become poster-yippies for the gnti-gun lobby.
Nichole's murder illustrates two glaring problems in our country : (1) the total lack of judgement or control our youth are ENCOURAGED to indulge by the pop-psyhe types because it makes them more open to suggestion is detrimental to society as a whole (2) the fact that a gun was used to murder a woman in a city with gun control laws as strict as those in NYC only further illustrates the TRUISM that if guns are made illegal, only criminals will have guns.
It's sadly ironic that she followed the same ideology that made it so east for this pair od lowlifes to murder her.
Yep,
The wages of sin are death. What a senseless waste.

Wow, you've got a lot on your plate. Prayers from Texas. And, many, many thanks to your daughter. My brother is coming home from Iraq this week, thank God.
"East" was SUPPOSED to be "easy". **Eyore voice** at least it was spelled right
I mean nothing ruins a cogent, "well thought out" posting like dumbass misspellings! ;-)
As for your other daughter...those clothes and diapers for your grandson are the most important things you can give. I don't know what relationship you have with her, but she's probably very grateful that her son is getting the things he needs.
As for your SIL...well, maybe prayer will help. It can't hurt. Maybe they'll both straighten up.
The worst part is that I did proofread it.
"Her problem is her mother didn't guide her right," Evans said.
Double-Ahhh. You're either there to raise your kids, or you're not. This piece makes him sound like he's in the running for Father of the Year!
Yes, he did the right thing in this instance, but did there even need to BE an instance? He's not the victim here.
