No?

If not, what ****ing difference does it make to you what someone says on the internet of all places?

An insult? So what, the internet is full of insults, many vastly worse than this. Comes with fame, people on the internet will mock everything about you, even your death.

So lighten the **** up Internet White Knight, you're services are not needed here, and most of us would take Shakin, a respected member of the community here, over 1,000 big mouth easy-offended-by-proxy white knighting ****ing nobodies like you.
And this.

But what gives you the right to question anyone belittling a cowardly murderer? If he happened to be some unemployed wacko in KC who did the same thing - how respectful would you be?

Belcher deserves zero slack, zero benefits of a doubt.

A part of me has never forgiven you. Why bring a band saw for a a simple meat carving station?

I reported it. I'm pretty sure nothing will be done though.

I can judge this very easily. He is a gutless coward unless or until it is proven that the girlfriend posed an imminent and potentially lethal threat to his life.

If he simply commited suicide it would be a tragedy and immune from scrutiny. I am not judging that he was going through some type of personal crisis just his reaction in gunning down an innocent person (whether the victim lives or not is immaterial).

IMO shakin has nothing to justify or apologize for.

Too soon, free.

Now the victim is twice as dead. And it's your fault.

+1.

I'm outraged.

But I'm not telling you what I'm outraged about.

I just want to join in the outrage.

Gallows humor has been around since, well, forever. Not everyone's cup of tea, but it helps diffuse the tension and sadness.

Personally, the only people I'm thinking about are the dead girlfriend and that poor, now orphaned, baby.

Right. This board has the manliest men in the history of men. To give a differing opinion is a clear indication of homosexuality.

Either way, it was a classless statement from and obviously classless person.

Finally a logical posting. None of us ever imagined Ed's departure would cause such anguish and tragedy.
