I haven't heard anything yet about whether there is any progress in finding the people that did it

I can't comprehend such violence

Thanks
I have always felt that justice for those who take a life should be to have to give a life ~
Just instantly bestow organ donor status on them. But good news, no waiting Mr. Murderer, , you can participate now!
Yup, just take what you need to save someone's life, to kind of even things up in the cosmos.
That would certainly increase the supply of life giving organs for those in need of transplants, reduce society's massive expense of imprisonment for those guilty, and clean up the gene pool

I always thought I was, uh, a guess a bit extreme thinking that way and that no one else would have such a thought. Then one day I heard someone interviewing a controversial person you may remember, Jack Kevorkian. He wassaying the same thing and I felt better at least there was one other person out there with similar feelings. Now I know two more ~~~ :AOK
