Omg, where are we safe? Not even in our homes, imo.
On another thread, 5 kids charged with murder in TN.
What is going on?
It’s not safe to set up a garage sale, walk our dogs, send kids to the bus stop, get gas for our vehicles, go to the movies or anywhere else. Drugs have corrupted our world.
MOO

Exactly. Is it safe to garden, mow our lawns, walk to the mailbox, drive our spouse to CVS? Nope. We truly need eyes in the back of our heads. Mr. Hough would have gladly gave up any items of value he had on him, IMO.
What a sad last chapter for a remarkable man. MOO

Amen. I hope he never sees the light of day.
I’m sure we can anticipate the “I’m innocent/framed” defense.
Moo

From your link night owl:

“With the car window rolled down, Bennett allegedly approached and tried to rob Hough around 7:45 p.m.”

 

[Trudie]

Just heinous. WTH makes people think they have the right to someone’s property?
