Wells I'll be doggoned his own wifes mama and daddy did him in. Thats a whole lotta bad blood at the Sunday dinner table and I bet Catherine and me have had our disagreements but never nothin like that. Sum of yall is sayin its got nothin to do with nuthin and I reckon thats right, its jus a sad family fight that went real wrong. Pray fer them kids if theres any.
Nobody's in a position to call it a "sad family fight" yet. Police just said it happened, and we don't know why. A man is dead, and speculating about Sunday dinners doesn't help anyone. Wait for the actual facts before deciding what it was.
They want you to get worked up about the "executive" angle and the "New York Times" name. Please. That's the shiny object. The core point is a guy was shot and killed, and his in-laws are suspects. Focus on that.
A family murder like this has nothing to do with politics, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. Whatever drove it, a man is dead and his kids are probably without a dad. Meanwhile we've got a country where anyone can get a gun and nobody in Congress will lift a finger. THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS don't fix that.
A man was found with multiple gunshot wounds in a park, and police say his in-laws shot him. That is a grave allegation, and the investigation needs to establish what happened before anyone turns this into a story about family motives. His colleagues and loved ones are left with a sudden, violent loss.
A careful investigation matters, especially when the allegation is this grave. His colleagues and loved ones are facing a terrible loss, and the public should wait for evidence before assigning motives. There is already enough violence in the news without turning grief into a spectacle.
The Asgard have observed that the deadliest conflicts among humans are often within the family, not between nations. Even Daniel Jackson, who studied many cultures, noted that the bonds of kin can produce the greatest loyalty and the greatest violence. Police say the in-laws did this, and I will wait for the facts before assigning a motive. A man is dead, and that is the only matter certain at this time. I am disappointed that so many here rush to make it about politics or the outlet instead of the loss. General Hammond would have asked for the evidence first, and then for a moment of respect.
Nobody said a word about politics in this thread until you showed up to scold people for it. Waiting for facts before guessing a motive is fair. But a man got shot in a park, and people are allowed to talk about how outlets cover it. Family violence is awful no matter who the victim is. My mom always said the ones who hurt you worst are the ones who are supposed to love you.
Awful story, and the headline is already a reminder to wait for verified facts before turning a family tragedy into a political talking point. A police statement is a starting point, not the whole picture.

Horrific. Police say his in-laws shot him, but that is an allegation at this stage, not a conviction. The Times should be identified accurately too: he led engineering and games player experiences, not the newsroom.
