Unless, someone is involved in a study, vicariously peruses various news outlets it is nigh impossible to comment on every travesty. <br /><br />This event has captured my attention. Only because of the reported state of Pretorius (sic) <br /><br />I am speculating that he deliberately shot thru the door in a fit of extreme anger, not realizing the possible fatal consequences.<br /><br />If reports are true that he was an abuser, it is not uncommon, after a particulary vicious encounter, including hitting, that the abuser is quite contrite, saying, "I sorry, I didn't mean to do that..I promise not to do it again...Please forgive me. I really love you"...and in the process of dissembling they truly love that person. And now, Pretorius is suffering the regret of a horrible, horrible outcome. <br /><br />Naan, your first impression, which I tended to poo poo..that he looked like a lost child, is undoubtedly correct.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03638973854555849960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19751339.post-63222898190089862592013-03-10T11:51:28.141-07:002013-03-10T11:51:28.141-07:00Well said Frank.

I do wonder sometimes if we (humans) are slowly losing the ability to give due importance to important matters regardless of who they affect (famous or otherwise).NAAN POCENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15879767490495403371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19751339.post-60540795203997510432013-03-10T10:25:38.281-07:002013-03-10T10:25:38.281-07:00A well written article.

It evoked sadness for me, considering the circumstances and the taking of the life of a young person.<br /><br />Although, senseless violence deserves comment, it occurred to me that the only reason for the massive interest of her death is not because of who she was, but because of the perpetuator's accomplishments. If Pretorus was not a person of note, this killing when have only garnered local interest.<br />It was the same with OJ. If it had not been OJ, Nicole Simpson-Brown's murder would only have garnered attention locally; moved to the back pages of the local newspapers within a week.<br /><br />Some, murders deserve outrage because of the innocense of the victm.<br /><br />It brings to mind of the recent kidnapping and gang rape of the young indian girl who eventually died. This event was almost ignored as "another day" in India, a country known for its poor treatment of females. It was only the circumstances of the attack that garnered attention.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03638973854555849960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19751339.post-89754065306166750312013-03-03T09:45:29.936-08:002013-03-03T09:45:29.936-08:00Boris, that is so true.

Sometimes I think we get lost in flashy media features about famous people that we forget they are as flawed as the rest of us.<br /><br />Will, the news of her talk about domestic violence will play well with the media right now, especially because of the violent way she died. It is good (in her memory) to know she was a strong person like that. Many people shy away from address such issues.<br /><br />Karen, I am glad you found this feature inspiring, and I hope your son in-law finds it the least useful.NAAN POCENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15879767490495403371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19751339.post-36110790692145828252013-03-03T09:19:41.852-08:002013-03-03T09:19:41.852-08:00Naan, your writing is inspiring.
