Maybe the weatherman(Williams) broke of his marriage with the shooter(Taylor). Why elese would they not give a reason, well maybe I should not ask that as none of the media actually do any investigative journalism.

They lived together do the math

Eventually we will hear the rest of what happened. My vote is lovers quarrel!

Quarrel - LOL!

American Heritage Dictionary

quar·rel² (kwôr'əl, kwŏr'-)
n.

1. A bolt for a crossbow.

Welcome to my world, I live in this town we've renamed Johnson Sh!tty, TN. Nothing new here, the area still holds on too morals like we should vote for Republicans, because our Morally High Horse Pastors feed us the lies through good ol Southern Baptist traditions. You know like women should be at home, barefoot and pregnant. And our city council pats themselves on the back for all the jobs they created, but not mentioning that every single one of them are fast food jobs paying minimum wage with no benefits. We have one healthcare system, Monopoly States Health Alliance. We have 1 phone company, CenturyStink. We have 2 cable companies, but they won't cross a certain line so where I live I have Comcast or nothing. And 1 electric company that is TVA's bitch.

People ask me why I don't move, and the answer is quite simple, "I'm too friggin poor to fill up my tank and even escape this town." It's like a black hole, once you're past the singularity, you can't escape its pull. Oh, and I've been thrown out of many a city council meeting for protesting my displeasure at the massive amounts of fraud that we get too pay our taxes for. Example, our old courthouse was sold to the county for 1 dollar, now a community college wanted to buy it, so the city repurchased it from the county for 1 million dollars. Ain't it grand to be probably the only Independent in a city full of Republicans. Now you know why I have a disdain for them, nothing but fraud, lying and cheating is all I see from them, in my area.

Well, I guess that explains why his roommate came back in spite of the restraining order.

Pretty obvious sign of an approaching Indian summer.

Probably thought smoke signals were just a rain cloud.

I agree....this is one BIG hissy fit by two "engaged" men. Some of the most extremely violent acts take place when "one' no longer wants to be "two". I guess you might call it an attempt at divorce.

to yeldarb27 Booooo!

Maybe he had it coming. He possibly provoked the whole damn incident when he wore a hoodie on TV.

I saw the title and thought that someone finally hit their edge over the weatherman being wrong. My other question is if he had a gun why use the bow first? Seems somewhat backward.

I guess the days of same sex single guys or girls (outside of college rooming/boarding) renting a room off of one another, or splitting the rent of a two bedroom apartment/house are gone. Now it looks like everyone just assumes they MUST be a gay couple.

It could be that Rob was renting a room to an old friend, when the friend could not or did not keep up with the rent, or Rob might have caught the guy with drugs in his house and told him to get out. Either way, the guy apparently held a grudge for being booted out of the house.

Going to show my age here a little. Its a good thing most of ya'll weren't around before the late 70's. It was very common for people to share housing before that time. Back then very few people had houses that were over 1500 sq ft. Not like today where the average house is 2500 sq ft with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 1 living room and 1 den which usually ends up being a second living room. Back then we called houses that were over 2500 sq ft, a huge house. Over 3000 sq ft was considered a mansion.

I wouldn't call my town backwards, maybe stagnant somewhere between 50's religious and political views, and 1980's women's puffy hair-do's. Our towns main radio station is a "Classic Rock" channel (At what point does classic rock become the oldies?) and the area is now forgotten but famous for hanging an elephant. http://blueridgecountry.com/archive/mary-the-elephant.html

What happened to the original Black Hole comment? I was going to let the originator know that at the "beginning" of a black hole you have the event horizon. Once beyond the event horizon there is no return....The singularity is at the center of the black hole. It is a point of infinite density of spacetime.

The accused perpetrator seems to have gotten angry because he lost his black hole!

I dont get it as to the why in which there was any justification to shoot this weatherman. For the sake of just being an a$$, maybe moonshine was involved? lol

hope they didn't put... salt on his wounds...when it rains it pours...

leave the arrow sticking thru on both sides...he can become a weatherman and weather vane...combo...i'd watch the weather just to see which way the winds blowing...

Our weatherman isn't very good, but I never thought of shooting him.

Goes to show that you really should be proficient in the weapon that you choose to wield....

There aren't many good weatherpeople unless you're somewhere in the tropics where the forcast is "muggy and hot with more heat", you know? Yet they call it a 'forecast'.... Doctors get the benefit of the doubt because they're termed "practicing physicians", so why don't they call them 'practicing weathermen'?

We know that area well. Sorry but "backwards" isn't a far off description. These type of areas (including much of the Upstate of SC where I live) are a preview of what is to come if we chose to regress instead of moving forward in this country. Don't do it people! You have been duly warned!

These two guys probably just shared a home. Weird everyone just assumes they were gay. Could have been over unpaid bills or maybe the weatherman had just told the guy to leave because he was a pain in the -ss.

I have to stand up for Johnson City. I have lived here for the past 28 years as an openly gay woman. I have never experienced violence or threats of violence from the community. Those who say this city is backwards are not living in the mainstream of Johnson City. While certainly not the bastion for liberalism as New York or San Francisco, it is not a backwater town.

This is a sad case for all. Perhaps if marriage equality existed the situation could have been handled in a more civilized manner. When you have no legal recourse to gain access to real property and/or financial accounts, it can make you a little crazy.

Without the use of a crossbow this story would probably have never made news anywhere.

Get a life, leave these guys alone or fight for their right to become full US citizens with all the rights afforded to everyone else.

Come on over and visit Johnson City some time, you may find it a lovely place to live.

The thing is that you don't realize that you ARE backward, notbackward, and the irony of it all is that people that think like you either don't realize it or flat out refuse to realize it in your lives. Yes, I have to stand up against senseless violence such as this, regardless of whether it is what you interpret as marriage or what the Bible and the law of the land recognizes as such. Also, statistically, people who practice heterophobia have not only higher incidents of violence such as these among themselves but also against heterosexuals as well, and not necessarily just solely due to conflicting religious and moral world views, but crime in general. Learn well from Sodom and the four other cities at the southern end of the Dead Sea, the Weimar Republic, the Communists, Socialists, Fascists, ancient Babylon, Persia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome, for if that is the future that you want, well, you might just very well get your way. My question to you is this, will you act like this man did against this weather anchor at someone simply because they disagree with your way of thought or will you do the smart thing and avoid the more militant members of your movement, realize that they are whack jobs, and then get the h-e-double toothpicks out of Dodge? However, with that being said, I might get angry at weather anchors relying on flawed intelligence (and especially so if there's a tornado that forms without even so much as any official warning) but I'm not going to shoot them over their arrogance and the meterological equivalent of being a psychic. It's stupid to do that and I hope that this guy gets 25 to life for attempted murder, regardless of the circumstances of the crime.

"You said Saterday would be sunny!!"

I highly doubt a weatherman would speak the word Saturday with an "e."

Good catch Stoopid it sounds completely different when you use an "e" instead of an "u".

he's got his day's wrong...fryday it was sunny...

He probably made it rain on his birthday.

check your tooth paste... for preparation H...and shampoo...for nair...

I kicked one out for not giving the courtesy of a reach-around.

As I understand it, they are about even now. Seems that the other guy had stabbed him thousands of times before with something even harder and deeper than an arrow.

YELDARB27:

You don't know if he's the "staber" or the "stabee"

Deja Vu zipper........I had a roomy do the exact same thing to me. I had bought a Chevy S-10 pickup back in the day. It was the very first brand new automobile I had ever purchased. My truck was parked behind his car in the driveway. He ask for the keys and I told him where they were.....I was in bed trying to get some sleep because some people have to work. Instead of moving my car and taking his, he just kept going down the road with my truck. It took him several hours to get back from taking a friend home. He was stoned when he came in and thought it was funny. He quit laughing and carrying on when I gave him notice that he was leaving at the end of the that month. That was not the first incident with that guy....He brought a a night-club band home...(5 of them) one night we were partying. Most everyone had already left when he brought these strangers into the house. Did not know them from Adam. They stole jewelry and everything they could find not tied down. They got something from all three roommates. After that and the truck incident we let him go. No retaliation like this though.....of course we were not lovers though.

JLM, you are right, YELDARB can't prove anything but I'll give you 10:1 odds that one of them was getting stabbed by a gut wrench for sure. None of us know if they were gay or not but they had some really strange habits if they weren't.

Check their ages. Those May/December marriages can be just as stressful on gays as straights. Actually, it's probably worse with gays. There comes a point in time where you have one winky that wanders as the other one wilts.

That was funny.

u would know, huh? people like you are always the first to say stuff like that....so i guess you smoke lotsa pickles. get a life will ya!

Well I thought the same thing, well as a posibility anyway. Nothing wrong with pillow biting pickle smugglers as long as they don't bother me. DJB what is wrong with AWSOMISOM saying that anyway? If they prez accepts it then shouldn't you? Heck the prez was even a member of the Chicago "Down Low Club" See links blow and also Google Down Low Club Chicago. The prez may have also been a suspect in 2 or 3 murders of members of the Dow Low Club which was run by his Reverend

i don't know.i'm guessing fanny bandits,rump rangers turd burglars,pole smokers, or knob gobblers,but surely not pickle smoochers...

No doubt.

Twinkie Twisters!

pole smokin butt pirates

Spiceman and JD....I heard the older guy was a fudge packer! I didn't know they had a candy factory there!

AWSOMISOM

Probably pickle smoochers

Hahaha....I've heard alot of metaphors in my time but yours ranks as one of the best and most unique! You're obviously a sensitive individual! hahahaha

BTW your Avatar looks like a Glock 36..........

Why would a man want to give his pecker a sh!tty deal anyway?

I could see a gay man slashing your tires but shooting you with a crossbow and shooting at you with a gun is clearly...drunk redneck

That's the story I was hoping for.

"Aiming for the knee is for slackers." Daryl Dixon, The Walking Dead.

When I first saw the headline, all I thought was 'the guy with the crossbow on The Walking Dead was in Georgia the whole time, he's got an air tight alibi!!'

ME-986426 - I was thinking the same thing. Thought maybe he was doing the weather report near an archery range and some kid misfired. lol

cupid may have put him up to it...

Hell hath no fury.......

LOL - unlike the 1950s into the 1990s - the weather reports in this area are almost always correct. If they say heavy rain, light rain, light snow, heavy snow, etc - it almost always happens.

Up here its usually 50/50 that they will be correct. I remember a few instances just in the past few weeks where they have been wrong. It was even raining and on the net, they were saying clear skies lol..

LOL - unlike the 1950s into the 1990s - the weather reports in this area are almost always correct. If they say heavy rain, light rain, light snow, heavy snow, etc - it almost always happens.

Are you freaking kidding me? Being in construction and having much outdoor work I used to rely on the weather reports....Problem was they screwed more more times than not. It really messes with ones schedule when you have to work around reports that were wrong. I finally got things under control when I started watching the Doppler Radar and other system and decided what it would or would not do

The weather reports here in AZ are always correct: IT'S GONNA BE F*CKING HOT!

Is it me or 50% of people on Newsvine from Arizona??

It does seem pretty common. To be fair, I'm actually from California, but currently reside in AZ.

My favorite is when they say 50% chance of rain. IMO everyday has a 50% chance but most days have a higher or lower chance.

Ha ha...me to AKap....from La Jolla. Now stuck in Arizona :(

They're fairly accurate in my area. But then again I live in a desert so there's not much of a change.

In Minnesota we get " Tomorrow will be clear to partly cloudy With a 50% chance of rain/snow mix." Covers their azzes on every angle!

Nashville weather people include everything inside the cable or Direct TV viewing area as local. If it rains in Louisville or Atlanta they take credit.

Maybe in the past - but now - the local Concealed Weapons Permit Classes are full of gay guys with new .45 caliber auto loaders. The instructor says he has never seen so many guys with fanny packs.

LOL - one thing for sure "gay bashers" better re-think their actions.

Gays are non-violent? Who says that? They serve in the military, work as cops, play pro-sports, etc., and are as likely to defend their homes and loved ones as is anyone. Plenty of straight people are non-violent. Blue eyed people too, proving, "what"?

Nikolaus20 - Read it for what I think he meant it to be... a joke. Here I was enjoying the jokes and then you had to have a stick-up-your-butt response. Gees. Get a sense of humor. Although I do know several people named Nick/Nikolaus with different spellings and none seem to have any sense of humor.

Yes, just a little humor...I'm sure Jeffery Dahmer's victims would not agree that gay people are incapable of violent behavior.

no self respecting gay guy would ever wear a fanny pack!

Yup, and notbackward and her ilk need to shape up or they'll be just like that guy...but what if that IS their intention? Hey, it happened in the 1910s to 1940s in Germany, right?

Lots of anger here...Mother, mother....puuleeezzz!

"Little gay guys"? "Ole dirt road"? Love how some straight, stereotyping guys are more "up" on gay themed imagery than many gay guys are. Think about it a lot, do ya?

Well, then he might have taken a wrong turn on the Hershey Highway on the way to the Fudge Factory.

go choke on a hershey brewzky.

steveo and niko getting all testy here. Hmmm, something you want to tell us boys. lmao

Go buy yourself an enema bag. Nobody wants a messy date.
