Tyler, the moderator doesn't like someone's political point of view so he deletes the person's comment. So what if the guy spouts off about gun control?
Only in Florida.
She must make some tasty burgers.
YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT? Seriously, it's a known fact that during the Superbowl more violence occurs and if that BITCH is late with the chips and dip I'm going to put her into the ground! ;-)
I'll bet he's a republican.
No, if he was a Republican he would have taken responsiblity for himself & went out & bought a Hamburger. He had to be a Lefturd , he figured his wife owed him a Hamburger & he was entitled to it. But he did probably try to blame it on a Republican or Bush.
This is exactly why all assault knives should be banned.
"Hold the pickles,
Hold the lettuce,
Apparently special orders do upset us..."
Should have opted for the Early Bird Special at the local greasy spoon instead. Burgers at the county lockup ain't so great I hear...
That's how they do, back in Guatemala.
He's Sicilian according to the police...try to get your racial slurs right will ya?
he got it wrong,sry.Lighten up,you'll pull a muscle.racial slur- HAH
pained1 - you obviously have NO sense of humor...my condolences!
Coots!!!!!
From the looks of him she made hambuger years ago!
Usually when these situations occur- it is never about something as shallow as her refusal of preparing him a burger. This burger thing was probably a negative stimulus that set him off because of other issues he may have.
Ya think?
I'd starve to death if my wife cooked all the time. She's a terrible cook and she knows it. If I want it, I'd better make it myself. I don't know how she makes it when I'm on business trips!
Is the mailman a chef on the side?
A hamburger is basically a sandwich.

Just wait until Gays are able to marry and have to put up with "Pierre Make me a Damn Ice Lolly" Oh stab me with a knife? how Cliche......
Bartalo! Wassa matta for you? Who gonna cook for you now?
Wadda you mean? I no gonna getta de hamburger inna da prison? Shut uppa you face!
Look! No gun involved! The knife must have been over 3 inches. Anything longer that that is a military weapon that a civilian has no business owning. Outlaw all knives over 3 inches! Never mind that the old guy must be demented and psychotic.
What the hell is wrong with Florida people???!! Something must be in the water...
I said it before, too much Flouride in the water.....
Now this old white (I'm sure GOP) male will try asking for a hamburger in prison & get nothin'. Serves him right. What is wrong with old, while males these days. What a bunch of babies.
I'm sorry, but why does he need an attorney. He confessed to murder. Should he not go straight to the chair, gurney, or jail cell (depending upon state law). Why is a trial needed?
due process
Well, I guess she shoulda cooked him his damn hamburger. Maybe she'd still be alive.
This marriage was dead and buried years ago. This was just a straw that broke the camel's back. In any event, this old crabby bast*rd will end up eating prison food for the next few years until he dies. Hopefully it won't be very long. And he'll have all the butt sex he wants, and then some.
Years ago a man came into an emergency room beat to sheet. He had gotten drunk for every day of a sixty year marriage and that day the wife finally had had enough. She went out during the day and bought a brand new set of muslin sheets and put them on the bed. When he came home and her beating was done, he passed out on the bed. She safety pinned him between the new sheets and beat the crap out of him, then she called the ambulance. Maybe if she would have done this and then left, that woman would still be alive. BTW, the first woman was acquitted and got off with no punishment from the jury. There is a way out for all of us you just had to be smart enough to take it.
Probably something in the meds he is taking. If they can cause to start gambling or commit suicide...
