A newlywed couple charged in the stabbing death of a stranger they lured through a Craigslist ad offering companionship pleaded guilty to murder on Tuesday and face mandatory sentences of life without parole.
Lured a stranger to his death via a Craigslist ad. Don’t need a gun to do this. We’ve sold some items on Craigslist and my wife made damn sure I was carrying when the buyers showed up at our home to exchange goods for money. Too damn easy for a total stranger to do something horrible in these situations. It’s also an easy way to exchange goods and services, and thankfully everything went as well as we had all hoped.
There is another side to the “Gun Death” files. On one side we have the grim reality that nobody NEEDS a gun to end your life. A knife or a club is all they need, sometimes even just hands and feet. Meanwhile a gun might be the best way for you to survive an encounter with one of these monsters. This story could have been a much happier one if the unknowing man had his gun with him, and when things started looking scary he could have possibly turned the tide, likely without shots fired. But given that THAT outcome could have ended with a “Gun Death” the antis would hate that.
They have NEVER been concerned with public safety.
