Wow, wonder if you'd feel the same way if he was a shmo coal miner from Western Kentucky that jumped onto the back of a moving truck and was beating on the roof with his cast while his wife/fiancee/girlfriend was trying to flee.
I don't quite understand why you have resorted to name calling in this discussion, but I suppose that is your decision to make.
You did say that "the world is safer" now that he is dead, and you also did compare his death to a couple of people not hitting a pick-4. You didn't imply, or hint at, or "basically say" those things....you just flat out said them. If that's how you feel, fine. You are entitled to your opinion. But you should at least be honest and admit that nowhere in this thread have I "basically said," or implied, or hinted at the fact that he should be considered a hero. I suppose you can continue to carry on the discussion as if we are saying he was a great guy who should be honored and glorified....but none of us are saying that.

Sorry about the name calling.
1. Since he was beating on his fiancees window of her truck whilst it was traveling down the road showing gross reckless endangerment, wouldn't you say she is safer today. He breaks that window and we now have 2 dead.
2. Again for the upteenth time the P4 comment was an attempt to lighten the mood and not a very good one at that. I have estabished that so if thats how you wish to continue by all means focus on a moot point.
3. You basically used the term "basically said" and then interjected your interpretation that "I didn't care" I just did the same thing and interjected my interpretation of your postings. And please don't insult our intelligence that you actually "care". Have you sent a mass card, flowers, tried to reach out in any way. Did you lose sleep last night, offered a prayer. So don't act holier than though. Posting RIP on a message board is hardly caring. My whole point is I find it absolutely absurd that people simply dismiss someones past or how he went out (wanton reckless endangerment). As far as my caring, I care and am disturbed of the thug mentality that exists in some sports today. I care that we give chance after chance to those that have shown they don't deserve it. I care that his girlfriend may get charged for homocide and her offense was fleeing for her saftey. I care that their kids may have witnessed violence between their parents because it WILL stay with them forever.
