Look one fact here is not in dispute...Oulsen's wife had NOTHING to do with this situation...and she suffered both physical and mental anguish through no fault of her own...to minimize her as some "perky little blonde'' is beyond poor taste bordering on misogyny...she is the only true victim...

Didn't he have a daughter as well? I think she'd qualify as being the ultimate victim of this unfortunate situation.

Regarding the wife, I get Spring Hillian's point. Maybe the words chosen weren't the best, but this seems to illustrate a big problem today - focus on the words versus the actual meaning/facts...

Also, I can't help but think that the reason she got shot in the hand was because she was holding her husband back. That's just my opinion. We should learn more come January when this gets hashed out in the courtroom instead of the meaningless court of public opinion.

Just look back and re-read the comments regarding Mr Reeves.

You all should be ashamed of yourselves, but like I said, its a one way deal. Olson did nothing wrong, its OK to launch attacks on people who you think are going to cower.

Olson under estimated the victim of his attack. What normal person acts out lke that because someone reported their behavior.

Why didnt Olsonb move away?

I still am not getting how it's ok to denigrate Olson's wife...everyone agrees that the two men involved made poor choices...whatever "side" you are on...but Olson's "perky little wife" was both injured and witness to her husband's death...if anyone should be ashamed it's the poster who made this statement...don't you see the difference? You are entitled to your opinion of Olson as others can opine on Reeves...where it becomes outrageous is when you minimize a young wife who had no part in this confrontation...

I agree, it just showed the nature of the individual who made this statement.

Its the emotional response that dictates most of the responses in this thread.

The fact will always be - Olson bullied an old man, attacked he old man and paid the price for doing
so. Had Olson acted with civility instead of anger he would be alive today.

Virtually no one here wants to see what the cause of Reeves' response to Olson's actions.

If Olson was a convicted rapist, bank robber, car hi-jacker the opinions posted here would be totally different.

How come nobody said boo about Trevor Dooley who got 8 years for what was clearly a murder.?
A father of a young girl was killed in that situation also.

You know nothing about the nature of the individual who made the statement just as you know nothing
about the Reeves case which is a simple matter of self defense against a raging attacker.
