    I would suppose it much easier to kill someone with a gun and one would be more likely to just pull a trigger in the heat of the moment.

    It's much more up close. personal and deliberate to stab someone and much less fatal. Pulling a trigger may not feel very visceral or violent comparatively.

    I tend to think that everyone that commits murder is insane, defined by the capacity to commit the act.

    And especially to chase after a victim twice after the first shots. It would be one thing to impulsively fire a shot but going after wounded prey is, to me, a different level of intent.

    Once again, a mentally ill person should never be allowed to own a gun.

    While admitting I do not know why police would be called out to someone's house 14 times, it seems that it should raise a red flag if that were to happen and maybe if people had to register guns like cars, seeing someone had the cops visit their house 14 times would make it harder to renew ones license. One eventually loses their license if they prove they can't be trusted behind the wheel.

    Let's just call this an extremely late term abortion.

    Absolutely. Plus the red flag of being in and out of mental hospital a number of times. Mentally ill people have no right to guns for their own and other safety.

    Well if her kids would have been armed they would have been able to prevent this. They saw all the warning signs.

    Lesson is, if you are married to a psycho who refuses to get help it is perfectly acceptable to bail.

    Elite genetic 'tribes' always try to maintain their economic advantage with genetic (racial) purity and justify it by dehumanizing other tribes as genetically inferior. I think it's pretty natural and takes a lot of education and civilization to over come.

    He ran and hid, from what the reports say.

    I wasn't there, and I've never been shot at with anything other than a bb gun so I can't say for sure what I'd do in a situation like that, but damn.

    Yea, what would you do in that situation? Wasn't there so not sure how things unfolded exactly. Knowing what have happen, I would have attacked her to give my love ones a chance.
