What a horrific tragedy.

My prayers go out to the extended families and friends of the victims.

We're seeing too much of these types of awful things on the news nowadays.

This is so sad to read.

Just goes to show as an example that money, fame, and fortune do not equal happiness in this world.

-What version of Bible was Chris Benoit reading before he did this awful thing?

"One of the greatest tragedies of our existence is that we are a people united by so many common goals, but divided by so many uncommon beliefs.

I believe that our goals are more important. We all want to be free. We all want our children to be healthy and happy. Most all of us want peace so long as our own rights are protected.

These are the ideals that we can all strive for together. These are the threads of humanity that cannot be torn apart."

I am deeply sadden by the lives lost in this incident. Yes, steroid use may be at the forefront of this story, but why was there so little mentioned about the Domestic Violence? This is another sad story of a woman and a child killed by their abuser. Why was that not addressed? There was only one small note about the Restraining Order. I am currently a victim of D.V. with three children(all girls)and a history of THREE Restraining Order's, trying to flee the state of our abuser and being DENIED by the state of OR.,Judge Tennyson and all at the behest of our abuser!!Why do the victims of D.V.(women and children)warrant so little attention by the media, our congress and legislator's?And the list goes on! It saddens me that more could have been done to save ALL involved, but more so that you in the media gave so little focus to the ever present abundance of Domestic Violence in our Country and World.

Fellow citizens, we need not betray ourselves, or our children.

They are following our example of cruelty, injustice, and feigned ignorance of a tortured humanity we could save.
ST


"Children should not know fear, or death, or suffering, for it is not their lot to know. Theirs is a time for joy, and wonder, and a time of great discovery. Let them never despair, or hurt, or want. This should be our highest calling, and our most sincere dedication."
SearingTruth

"I understand your human frailties, because they are much like mine, and the rest of humanities. We are all frail and weak, we all do things that shame us, we all make mistakes. But our character is not born from our perfection; it is instead born from how we deal with our imperfection."
SearingTruth

"The depth of human compassion may be measured by how often they forgive their gods."

Before we engage in more heated arguments over who actually did what, let's take a few breaths and try to remeber one thing: They're all dead now, so all this debating is pretty pointless.

(Come to think of it, most web postings are pretty pointless too.)

Mark Jessup, you're back! You finally formed a new opinion. But, if you had read the story, you would have found that the wife was killed on Friday, the boy on Saturday night, and Benoit hung himself early Monday morning. Look, illiteracy isnothing to be ashamed about. NOT doing something about it is! I suggest you take some classes, that is if you can find someone to read this to you. Good luck! Your worst nightmare!

Dear lilD3vil; PAUL Hogan is an actor from Austrailia, best known for his "Crocadile Dundee" movies. HULK Hogans real name is Terry.Do your homework next time you make up a story.

Yeah, Markjessup - the wife invented a time machine, went forward 2 days, killed the son, then came back and killed herself a day earlier.


If there's a reason for the stereotype of brain-dead wrestling fans - you are it. She was killed first - by at least a day. Don't be in such a hurry to excuse this scumwad coward that you skip the facts.

Instead of calling it "Fake" how about "Scripted Entertainment" as thats exactly what Pro Wrestling is. When my husband and myself were manufacturing weight equipment in the late 80's Paul {Hulk} Hogan came out by during the opening of a new gym and I got to ask him a few questions. I asked if the matches were scripted and he said yes as its all scripted from whose gonna play the bad guy to who does what. Tho not a wrestling fan I did find Mr. Hogan one of the sweetest celebrities I've ever met and very down to earth.

As to Chris Benoit.. having seen muscle heads during a rage twice in my lifetime and both times at our place of business there is nothing you can do unless they want help and Benoit could have just had an anger problem that when when mixed with the drugs made him all the worse.

Lets hope this is a wake up call for the sports & Entertainment industry to do more then just turn their heads as to this type of behavior be it a Pro Wrester or the Acting community.
