One gun would have prevented it all
Edited for brevity.An ex-convict who blamed a young woman for taking his video game system and clothes recruited three teenagers to stab and beat her and five others to death, investigators said Sunday. The 22-year-old woman was singled out for an attack so vicious that even dental records were useless in trying to identify her. Some of the victims were attacked in their sleep, according to authorities. The victims' bodies were found Friday in a blood-spattered home. All four suspects were armed with aluminum bats when [suspect Troy] Victorino kicked in the locked front door, according to arrest records. The group, who wore black clothes and had scarves on their faces, grabbed knives inside and attacked victims in different rooms of the three-bedroom house, authorities said. The victims, some of whom were sleeping, did not put up a fight or try to escape, Johnson said. All had been stabbed, but autopsies determined the cause of death was the beating injuries. This story is a few days old, but I'm still just appalled by it! If just ONE of the six victims had had a gun--and in FL that's very easy and very legal to do--all or most of the six murders could have been prevented! It is your CIVIC DUTY, in my opinion, to be able to protect yourself, your home, and your guests! ANY gun trumps a baseball bat and a knife! Posted by: Dar 2004-08-10 |
