2. Read about that. We've helped several stranded motorists in the past in my family,

especially in the rural Great Plains where there's not a lot of traffic or when there's a blizzard and someone slides off the road. You can't just leave them there--it could be life or death. This will make people leery about helping strangers, and that's a shame.

20. I agree, it's a tragedy for that family and it creates a negative ripple effect

that your last two sentences express.

5. Wow... not even a botched robbery or anything. Just 'fuck you, die'...

That is the saddest fucking thing I have heard in a very long time.

16. It was a botched robbery

He demanded money first and then when they said they had no money, he told them to start walking away and shot them in the back.

Mendoza later told FBI agents he “shot the victims because he was getting tired of waiting around, and because the daughter laughed at him,” the criminal complaint says.

Too much evil in this country today. Way too much evil.

6. And the next step in this .............................

tragedy will be the NRA and Gun Owners of American saying that when you approach a stranded car you have to have a gun to protect yourself

Trump is going to have a conniption.

[jtuck004]

15. He will have a rationalization.He says we should only let the "good ones" in, so

obviously we screwed up.

He will fix that. By only letting those with the Trump seal of approval through the new fence of solid gold he is going to install on the border.

Good fences make good neighbors.

12. Mever ever forget that guns make us safer.

Never.

14. The NRA says all good samaritans should be armed .

[Darb]

17. Is the gun ok? We need to make sure the gun is ok right now.

We need to get that gun back into circulation as quickly as possible. We MUST keep it out of the hands of the government or it might be destroyed. We cannot lose a single gun. We must keep every single gun out there to be used by good guys.

Did he fire all of his ammunition like a good guy should? Was there any ammunition that got confiscated? That would be a travesty of jusssice. We must get that ammunition in the hands of a good guy straight away.

19. So very sad when people try to help and are murdered for it.
