I feel sorry for the family

[strawberries]

of the Oklahoma beheading suspect. His poor mother apologizing for her son's actions. Just breaks my heart.

I have one question, is it that easy to cut someones head off? It had to have taken at least a moment or two. Why didn't the other workers help her and stop him?

1. They didn't want to get stabbed or slashed

As for the beheading, I suppose it would depend much on how strong the person is, the size of the knife and how sharp it was.

2. Horrible situation.

I hope he goes to jail for life.

3. Coworker Carl forgot his slingblade that day

4. don't want to be gruesome here but I have wondered the same

I had read that beheadings in the gory old days often took several hacks and the head didn't come off very clean. Let me say I read this in passing I think as part of an article on the guillotine. One of the reasons the guillotine was fashioned was to prevent these problem and cut the head off in one nice clean motion.

5. I actually felt more sorry for the family before I saw this video

What possible rationale can there be for beheading someone and stabbing another multiple times with the same intent?

They kept repeating that there's two sides to the story??!! That's "not Alton"??!!



Fuck them.

6. They said there are two sides of the story? wow!

[strawberries]

7. I can't watch those videos

I don't think there is any rationale. Not sure if it is some form of brain washing, which most religions are or just a messed up angry person. Maybe both

8. Wait, you're the OP author and didn't watch the video?

If you didn't watch it then why are you sympathetic to that family?

They even ask for prayers for THEMSELVES more than the victims' families!

11. I didn't watch the video of the beheading

I watch the video of the family apologizing for their son. Do you normally look for trouble with a twist in words? Seems you like to attack a lot. At least on my posts not sure about anyone elses. Maybe it is me and I am not being direct. I will work on that.

BTW how are those anger management classes going?

[riderinthestorm]

14. Lol, I have no idea who you are or that I've ever read anything else by you

And if you think my post was an "attack" then 1. You are misreading it and 2. You need to develop a thicker skin.



Your OP was about the family apology video. Then you say you didn't watch "the video". Is there a video of Alton Nolen beheading that poor woman?

9. I just saw the video

Can't imagine what the second side of the story could be . . .

I think they just did themselves more harm than good.

12. I think that was just an implication that he was mentally ill and not the son they remembered. n/t

[strawberries]

13. I agree

you would have to be ill to do something like that. Instead of opening prison doors I hope we start opening institutions to help folks before they reach that point where the have the need to kill others

[hrmjustin]

16. I hope he goes to jail for life.

I don't know whether he is sane or not but he should never walk the streets again imo.

[strawberries]

17. I know

unfortunately when they reach that degree of whatever one would call it, it is now too late to help them and prison forever seems to be the only option

10. Here's a link to the video for anyone whose interested in seeing it. It's very short

15. OJ Simpson cut the heads off of 2 people in a densely populated area

He was high on meth and an athlete. Used a Stilleto, about 6-inch blade length and apparently it was not that noisy or difficult for him.

OJ allegedly tried to sell the murder weapon to a collector:
