Default OT: This is my friends husband

http://www.newsday.com/news/local/lo...ical-headlines

We sort of dated about nine years ago when we each were coming out of relatonships. She met this guy Tony that was really digging her. I told her to go for it. I am close friends with her sister, and one of the last times I used my 944 was to go to their fathers wake.

And I'm worrying about whether to get a friggin Z28 or a 944! Another reality check guys!

Mein Gott. Yet another reason for us to remember to tell the ones we love that we indeed love them.

My sincere condolences to everyone affected.

That sucks, Tom! I hope they find the killers; I'm so sorry she found him like that, but if she had gone out earlier it may have been her too.

My condolences to his wife and family, and to you, for being a friend to them.

Reality check is right... I was supposed to get done my shift tonight at midnight and just when I was about to check out of service a call came in for a man down, gunshot wound to the chest. This poor guy had opened up his garage door to let his cat in for the night and some POS was standing in his driveway and opened fire on him. Wife and 2 kids were in the living room and heard the shot, all 3 found him laying dead in the driveway. From what we could tell looked like a car theft gone bad. What the hell is wrong with people today!?

Sorry about your friend...

Geez Tom, I just finished reading the story about this in the Post when I came here and read your post. Gang bangers following people home from the train? Isn't that station the one where your car was lifted? My condolences to all.

The scary thing is no one called the police. What the hell is that all about? Bad neighborhood? Man, I'm glad I live in Canada.

WTH???

Tom, I'm sorry about your loss. My grandfather might not live through the night into tomorrow, although we of course have high hopes. I was just thinking about how much I wish I had family close to hug, then I read your post.

Sincere condolences,
Matt

It's true though. I remember when i visited New York, some guy was bleeding to death on the street and nobody helped him. Everyone just ignored him. I had to help the man and call the cops.

Man what is this world heading to.

I know 100% if this ever happened in Canada everyone would of helped him or at least call the police.

This is when I think the punishment for the killers should be just as bad as what they did. Execute them the same way they did the victim. Things like this just **** me off and make me want to skin someone who has the audacity to do this kind of crap.

If any of you live in an extremely low to no crime area, PLEASE let me know, I'm already looking forward to relocating when I retire in 6 years...

Leo,

I know what he THINKS he meant... but the comment was stupid and out of place for this somber thread. IMHO of course.
