Man that's no way to die. Wish he could get some justice but with the perp dead too there's only the eulogy. Yeah I think it's become far too socially acceptable.

VT and some instances like this. This is just wrong, to walk into his office and shoot him like that. We may not find out the reason. I really do not want our politicians to feel required to have security and metal detetors and scared that people are going to kill them. Not a good message.

I think it's simply that they're only carrying the events live and the time difference makes it somewhat less convenient for us here. Out of 17 upcoming events only 6 are after 11:00 pm and one is at 11:30. Several are right in prime time at 8:00pm. Are you saying that the Women's 50m Rifle 3 Position Qualification is <b>not</b> on at 8:00pm tonight in your area? That would mean that your local station is going to the trouble to tape delay it themselves.

The story I read mentioned that he owns a car dealership so I'm betting it's more likely related to that than to his political positions.
