McNair's Death Ruled a Homicide

Was there really a doubt that this was murder? I think most accepted that as a given.

[erb0087]

A murder-suicide probably.

Or a murder scene staged to look that way. Staged to look like the girl killed him.

This Man, that was acting like a Child, was a Married Man with Children, that was Dating a 20 year old! I have nothing to say about this Man, that was acting like a Child, or his friends that is also acting like A Child!! You are all SICK, JUST SICK, BRAIN DEAD, A Married Man, and you all is doing the same, that is why you state the words of who falt it is. IT"S YOUR FALT!!! Why would a 20 year old, shoot and kill a Married Man, why would a Married Man let a 20 year old shoot and kill him!! All that say good things about this LOW-LIFE, NO GOOD, ADULTER you will see him one day in HELL, happy landings!!!!

Wow. Counseling, NOW. Who of us can claim that, in McNair's place, we wouldn't succumb to temptation? I'm not defending his actions. But they don't deserve the death-penalty. This is a tragedy for the victim AND the perpetrator (if the perp IS his girlfriend, which is unproven). Get a GriP!!!! Men are led by their 'little-man' ALL THE TIME (or have you not been watching the Sanford-channel lately).

beentheir1,

I totally agree with you 100% no matter what.With a 20 yr.old kid and he knew he was wrong because that girl was still growing and he took advantage of her mind and body. I'm sure he knew he was wrong, but just trying to cover it up by going to his friends place to sleep with the little teen!! I just feel so sorry for his wife what she has to go through listening to all of his BS what he has left behind. The only thing that I REALLY HATE is that they had to die like that. GOD bless his wife and kids!!I truely believe that the 20 yr.old took his life and hers as well.When you think you can get away with cheating on your other, it will always catch up with YOU. McNair, I know that you were a good person, but RIP.

Murder! That is what guns are for! NOT for "defense". Guns can ONLY offend.

[kodiak09]

PEOPLE will MURDER by ANY means they can. The human race is the problem, not what they use commit the crime.

[fred-mertz]

Not so. Some methods of murder are extremely difficult to carry out, require brutal violence up close, and/or lots of planning and preparation. If you have a gun, all that's required is that get angry or depressed, and BOOM! That's why the NUMBER ONE fatal use of a gun by gun owners is SUICIDE, not self defense. In fact, self defense doesn't even come in second. After suicide, the next most frequent use of a gun is for MURDER, usually a wife, gf, husband, lover, child, parent, friend or neighbor.

Thats the complete truth. OK, guns can also be used for defense or hunting, but they need MUCH more regulation than occurs presently in American society. Example, in Germany you can STILL own a gun, you just have to prove that you know how to shoot one, maintain one, store one, and are a responsible citizen (not some drunk crack-head with a vendetta). Does this insulate Germany from gun-deaths? H8ll no. But it drops the number of gun deaths by a factor of TEN (per 100,000 of population)!!! America's gun laws are CRAZY!!!

And here, again, is a tragic example of the 'equilizer' in practice in gun-happy America.

[kodiak09]

I agree that a gun is the easy way to commit murder but it still comes down to the person who uses it. The black market makes it too easy to acquire any kind of firearm. To legally buy a gun you have to pass a Federal back round check. Unfortunately there's nothing to check the mental status of an individual which inevitably determines the outcomes in these situations. And never underestimate the power of raw rage when someone is overcome the desire to kill. To kill isn't as difficult as it may seem when your filled with adrenaline and rage.

[kodiak09]

I didn't say they should go away. Everyone is quick to point their finger at the gun instead of the person who used it. Do you realize that more people are killed in car accidents per year than gun violence. If you go by that then all cars should be banned or more strictly regulated. People need to use their brains but I don't see that happening anytime soon. People are the problem, not the weapons.
