Comments on: Ark. TV Anchor Gravely Hurt After Attack

Police Say Intruder Beat And Stabbed Anchorwoman In Her Home

Love the tone of some people who inject politics into every story. Its probably the only thing they know a little bit about so they''ll ride that horse until it dies.

It''s ashame that the violent crime is so out of hand. Stories like these show that you can never be too careful of your surroundings, unfortunately, even in the comfort of your own home.

Obviously, she woke up and surprised the intruder, whoever it was.

And that''s why she was attacked. If she had slept through it, she would have been left alone.

Maybe.........

Every woman, regardless of age, living alone should have a security alarm system that is monitored. The alarm system is useless if it is not activated even when at home. Everyone should have a means of defense and be able to use it. Begin with a yapping dog, usually the small ones, and have weapons identified that you can use throughout the house, in each room. There are not enough LEO per citizen, per househol, to have good protection from the criminal mutants. In my town, there are .88 LEO per thousand residents. The national average is about 3 per thousand. Everyone should be knowledgeable about how many LEOs there are per thousand residents, in their city or town, and then prepare accordingly.

I hope and pray for her recovery. I also hope the low life that did this is apprehended and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I''m sure he''ll get a moronic defense counsel who will no doubt use the excuse of a criminal who had an abused upbringing, was bullied, was poor or any of the other lame excuses for this type of barbaric and uncivilized behavior. The low life doesn''t deserve to live.

I wish this young lady a speedy recovery. And I hope she does not have any permanent disability because of this attack.

This type of person is all to prevalent in todays world.

I agree with amurguz. We neither know nor care about the ethnic background of the monster who did this. We just care about seeing IT caught and punished.

[achangenow]

Ouite bold to assume her attacker is African-American without knowing the crime details. FBI stats would suggest a caucasian, however.

I''ve heard of cynicism, but this whole blog is nothing but a group of insensitive, racist, commentary; unfit for the bottom of a birds cage. A young woman is attacked in her home, and severely injured; have none of you the least bit of sympathy? She was probably sound asleep, when attacked, and is now fighting for her life? Are you all devoid of the human emotion of compassion? Who cares if the person who did this was orange, purple, white, black, or chartreuse, for that matter, color plays no part. Actions, such as these are about a lack of moral character, and that sorry state of affairs crosses all geo-political and socio-economic lines. Case in point, the Kennedy clans Michael Skakel; and let%u2019s not forget Orentahal James Simpson. So, please, if you''re going to attempt to be a writer, even just as a blogger, write something that makes a point about an event, tragic or otherwise. The art of writing is called %u201Cpersuasion,%u201D and it is not derived by finger pointing, name calling, or phobic mantras; of any kind. Placing "bets" on what skin color the person, or persons, who perpetrated this act, might have, is the most despicable form of vouchsafe I%u2019ve had the misfortune of reading; in quite sometime. Skin color doesn%u2019t make the person, heart and soul does; and some of you are sorely lacking either of those human traits; and more akin to anthropoids.

i wonder if she''s related to jaime pressly from my name is earl. same last name, sort of looks like her. regardless, i hope they catch the ****** and i wish her a speedy recovery.

This is just a sad story and a sick person would do this. It will probably be someone she knows. To the ignorant one that put race in this....what does race have to do with a women in her own home sleeping being injured by a intruder has to do with anything. I know it''s election season but please stick to the topic and not ignorance. To all the racist....you just wait until Nov. 4th.....

[pepina42]

Just curious; why so so many people feel compelled to inject a political statement into every comment about any news story? Do you people really believe that this horrific incident is the result of, or has any impact, whatsoever, on any political ideology? Did President Bush cause it to happen; will candidate Obama keep it from ever, ever, ever happening again? Maybe some of us should try a little harder to get a life....

[edward1975-2009]

Takes a certain type of idiot, to turn the attack of a person, into a political statement. What a bunch of freakin morons. And they allow you fools to vote and multiply. Embarassing.

[Amondale]

News, not mews. Sorry for the typo.

[Amondale]

This is a story because she''s in the media and appeared in "W" -- two favorite targets of the right-wing of the Republican party. Mews? Yes. Unexpected behavior when their candidates incite such actions? Nope.
