You can't really expect people to follow it For one reason, that is how some people process the horrible news they hear -- by talking to others about it.
Hey, the perp was a loser. Is that what kids are learning from the goggle-box these days? Either way, not good. Now when I next wear my kilt everyone is going to assume I'm a loser-murderer instead of a 'wild and crazy guy'.
And Ann, there are at least a dozen men in town who routinely wear kilts. Knowing your loathing of shorts, I can only guess at how you feel about a kilt especially a UtiliKilt worn by a non-Scot. That said, there is nothing wrong with writing about what happened. I have been invited to attend a funeral tomorrow in a community where I've spent quite a lot of time. The young man who was killed, was killed fighting in Iraq. I've got strong opinions on the war there as anyone who has read my posts elsewhere is aware and the fact that I am going to the funeral sadly, the fifth American killed in Iraq who I know family, close friends, co-workers or the immediate commanding officer of personally , does not mean that I should not write about Iraq.
I should, and I will continue to. I liked Austin- he was freind of my daughter's- he has been in my house , I've given him rides. This has affected a great many people.
He was cared about and loved by many- there is a lot of devastation out there because of this. Gee, Ann I'm so glad you were able to realize that the most important thing about this young man's murder was that he was killed by a man wearing kilt- and somehow or other this has led to a blog about pickling up women in bars.
This is about a young man being murdered on the street in Madison Wisc. I can't imagine a more insensitive post. Ann, as a Madisonian, I've periodically found my way to links to your blog. Posts are posts, opinion is opinion I seem to rarely agree with you, at least from what I've read, but all's fine and good. But I met Austin at the Terrace Monday evening, through a random circumstance where he struck up a conversation with me, and somehow your sense of humor focusing on a kilt is extremely offensive.
I met a good person, someone who actually made an impression on me as being especially genuine. You can tell that a man is good when his eyes sparkle when he smiles. Just because you're a news junky doesn't mean that everything in print is entertainment. To those who have posted here who know Austin, I'm very sorry for your loss. Look, people can comment here, but do not use obscene language or abuse people.
It is fine to say something positive about the man who died, but if you're coming by here to abuse the other commenters, the regular commenters, you can expect to find your comments deleted. There is something of a community here, and if you should take the time to figure out how to act, especially if you've appointed yourself to the role of telling us how to act.
When I saw this article I expected there to be comments about Austin's life, instead I find ignorant comments about women and reasons as to why he was killed, as personal friend I am ashamed to read the comments.
I sugguest for future reference leave your ignorant comments for your myspace and try and put yourself in his shoes or his family's. When Austin did smile, his eyes did have that twinkle, its a shame some of the people making the comments never had a chance to see it, yet you can make stupid remarks about the situation.
Rae: Have you seen the criminal complaint in this case? It describes Austin as battering the accused man severely before he reacted with the shooting. I can understand how friends and family want to remember the dead man, but this is a forum for discussing the news, and we are concerned with the facts of the case, including whether the accused is being treated fairly.
Ann: I don't think that women rejecting men and men shooting each other is a fact or has anything to due with this case. The complaint article also stated that the man who shot Austin could have walked away but instead shot Austin. I knew Austin quite well, and to be perfectly honest, his murder didn't surprise me at all. The last time I saw him he was standing outside my window, across the street, stalking me as he did for about three to four months after I told him to stop contacting me.
He was completely drunk, kicking cars and street cones when a man asked him to stop, very politely. Austin then proceeded to charge him and threaten to "beat the living shit out of him". From then on, I use to tell people who knew what a psycho he was that I guaranteed he wouldn't live another year or so.
State Street Brats day manager Matt Goetsch is of similar mind. Callen says the Angels could have tried to intervene when the fight broke out: "We train to handle many situations. But we're not trying to dodge bullets. We can never know if a guy has a gun. The goal in such a situation would be deter anyone from using a gun in the first place, Callen notes.
The Angels also could have acted as witnesses, had they been there. The local Guardian Angels are hoping to beef up patrols during the summer months. This Friday, members of the group's Davenport and Chicago chapters will be coming to Madison, along with Midwest coordinator, Mike Fuentes. Home Most Wanted Missing Children. First Name. Last Name.
