Yes I hear myself. You are simply of that portion of the populaion that does not understand logic and facts but runs on emotion. I however am, by training and a long career, an engineer. And I deal with logic and facts. It is easier to simply be emotional but it is not realistic.

And of course he played a role in his death. Likely inadvertent but real non the less. If he had locked his door he would virtually certainly still be alive. How much bigger role can you play?

He did nothing wrong. But he could have deflected the outcome easily. Sad. But the gods of probability play these games. You drive home the regular route and get hit by a drunken driver. Your kid wants another stop off the regular route and you survive. Happens all the time...you make decisions that have ultimate life changing effect even though you do not see it coming

Well, if they're 12, they're already marriage material anyway.

No, he did not.

You previously claimed he was at fault because he didn't listen to the commands of the stranger who walked into his home pointing a gun at him while screaming her head off. Quit it already.

No. He was not required nor could he be expected to listen to such commands. However failure to do so got him killed. So he was fully within his rights to get himself killed.

You folks continue to misunderstand the difference between that which you can do and dealing with the outcome. He had every right to do what he did. That also killed him.

The bigger role? It was Guyger walking into his apartment and shooting him with the intent to kill him.
That was the bigger role.

Pointing out that his door should have been locked or lights left on is...pointless. If someone really wants to break into your apartment or home, they can do it regardless of any precautions you take!

Oh God....

I don't even know how to respond to this one.

But since you talk about choices, it's interesting that you vigorously defended the convicted molester Larry Nassar a while back, in one post after another. Larry Nassar made the choice to molest hundreds of his patients...do you not see that he played a real role in getting prosecuted and sent to prison? He was warned many, many times to stop doing the things he was doing...over a period of many years. He knew better and did it anyway. How can you judge Botham and defend someone like Larry Nassar?
