Famous criminal analyst - CNN - wife is murdered.

This is pretty sad.

Wonder who did it?

I guess it's a hazard of your job that you would be hurt - or your spouse or children - in some situations? Remember that federal prosecutor in Pennsylvania that was murdered? He was working on the prosecution of some gangs. That was Jonathon Luna.

Then there was federal judge Joan Lefkow whose husband and mother were murdered in her home.

Scary.



What I don't understand is HOW it happens. These people are in high profile positions. You'd think that safety would be taken seriously. My house has two alarms and a big dog and I have a gun handy because I think about these things. Why didn't these people?

Too bad.

That is very sad Cody. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. There is just a lot of evil in the world. Al we can do is to be the beat that we can be.

If someone wants you dead, two alarms, a dog and a gun won't save you.

Maybe not, but they will make the job a bit harder.

And maybe they'll end up dead in the process too.

Besides, we live in a community where everyone is on camera, all of the time, so I'm not too worried.

A good security system would probably help you more than a gun... but a gun is cheaper.

If someone wants you dead, you're dead.
Why is there always money for war, but none for education?
