Homeless Woman Attacked By Two Men On A Dare
Nashville police testified that two men accused of pushing a sleeping homeless woman into the Cumberland River did it on a dare.
Twenty-one-year-old Timothy Webber of Lebanon and 22-year-old Josh Dotts of Lafayette are charged with murdering 32-year-old Tara Cole in August as she slept on a dock. Cole's body was found days later in the river.

1. Anyone wanna take a guess at the political affiliation of these two
hoodlums? I'm gonna guess they lean a bit to the right...probably brought up in a good Christian family... :eyes:

10. Because s/he has no proof and a deep seated hatred of Christians?

11. The 'culture of life' just shining through.
Who was that heretic who preached about helping the poor, anyway?

17. Political affiliation is more important than grieving this woman's life?
How does that lack of concern and feeling make Dems any better?

2. This is how the R's are making us safer....by promoting the culture of

3. So Many Frickin' MORONS In This Country

They did it on a dare.

6. Punks like this need to have the shit kicked out of them...
and then spend the rest of their lives in prison with a large man named bubba. Unsupervised.

9. I'm stunned.
It amazes me how quickly the human race is devolving. What twisted, sick mind enjoys the endangering of another human life? The poor and underprivileged in this country have been so marginalized that morons like this see them as less than human, more so now than ever.

This is absolutely heinous and sickening. I worry more and more about the future of our country when our fellow Americans act like this.

12. We're not devolving
"The suspects were identified through downtown surveillance cameras."

We're not devolving, we're just catching people in this kind of behaviour more often.

18. Yes, we've been marginalized.
And, yes, that is the ultimate result.

How is that going to change?

I don't see anything on the horizon.

Notice how the posts on poverty, begging people to please call and write about some aspect of poverty, rapidly sink into oblivion?

How is that different? Same marginalization. It's everywhere.

Oh how very mature. These "men" are listed as 21 and 22, not nine. :grr:

19. America has always denigrated, marginalized, and ridiculed the poor
The poor and the meek have always gotten the short end of the stick in America.

This incident simply further illustrates the callous disregard too much of America has for the poor. One day, they will pay when things get so bad the poor rise up.
