We have a BINGO !!!!!!

[jnieman]

Yes, looks like another sad desperate tragedy. I saw it on the other Villages on line newspaper.

[Medtrans]

And the bad news would be???

[janmcn]

And the bad news would be???

Suspected murder suicide in the village of Glenbrook discovered today. Not too many details released at this time.

[perrjojo]

Oh dear! Very sad news!

[gomoho]

I believe all these recent tragedies in The Villages are simply a reflection of the state of our country - has nothing to do with the state of The Villages. We are in deep doo-doo folks. We better all fall on our knees and start praying.

[Villager Joyce]

Amen gomoho!

Exactly!!

In any town with humans, things like this happen. "There's a million stories in the city".

[Indydealmaker]

There is a barely hidden national malaise. If one reads, really reads, current affairs re: economy, trillions upon trillions of national debt, perceived racism, international affairs, trashing of traditions, indiscriminate whacky interpretations of the Constitution, topsy-turvy healthcare system, medical scourges, etc., it is hard to be happy. This country used to be the rock. Now we're trying to crawl out from under it.

When I hear how far the White House was invaded, and those who protect our President were so lax, AND THEN..reading how people felt that the secret service was lax because they were racist...

When I hear how the recent death of an Ebola patient is being blamed on racism....

When I hear we will NOT close or restrict the borders to combat Ebola gaining entry into the country.....

When I hear that ISIS is on the verge of SLAUGHTERING christians in Iraq, and we are not going to do anything, much as we did not help the Syrian folks who were gunned down in the street....

This is depressing because it is not only fact it is happening, it is promulgated by our media and is what we see always, with no let up.

When headlines are about this stuff and so much more, if you have mental anguish to start with it just becomes bigger.

It has become so depressing in my country...so very depressing...So many examples of this stuff and nobody seems to care at all.

I am sorry, but it just seems to me that the last few weeks we have turned a corner......news get worse each day and our leaders pretend it is not happening. Like this country is in a death spiral of sorts.

I understand your sadness and I feel it too, Rags.

The problem today is, with 24/7 cable news channels and the Internet, EVERYTHING that happens is all over the world in minutes, often without accuracy. As always, it's the small minority that create problems for the rest of us, who just want to enjoy our lives and not harm anybody else.

I concur with Billie. Well stated.

I wish you were wrong.

Welcome to the change

Wait until Ebola breaks out in South America and you get
50,000 + a day coming across the border.

But the news will find something to distract you to watch.
Some star will show a boob or say the N word.
That will go on for weeks as a national debate.

But guess what.....they are winning.

The media will highlight problems with ONE SINGLE racial or even SUPPOSED racial incident and ignore real injustice that happens to all races.

The media will talk all night about how we have a group of countries lined up to fight ISIS and all terroism yet ignore the fact we have very very few allies and all we are doing is bombing empty buildings while ISIS is posed to destroy people.

All of this and our leaders are SILENT..nothing...just politics as usual.

Listen, if you do not think our porous borders in the southwest, WHERE WE KNOWINGLY DID NOT ENFORCE OUR LAWS, is not being eyed as entry into this country to do harm, if not already done. Seems the media only will talk about ISIS because our leaders want it that way and ignore the others crossing there.

If you dont think the day is coming as this Ebola spreads where that border will not be used by those WITH EBOLA looking for treatment in the USA.....you just are no thinking.

I have been stewing for days on all of this....and it just feels like it is over and there is a plan and it is coming to fruition.

I feel bad posting on here about this, but I think it is very serious.....extremely serious.

Okay, so what are "ALL" the recent tragedies in The Villages?

Really? You think praying is going to solve the problem? Billions of people pray all the time. We still have issues. People need to get off their knees and start doing something. God didn't make this mess and God ain't gonna fix it. Praying may make you feel better, but it isn't going to change anything.

Some people REFUSE to "Wake up" much less do anything!!!!!!

Good to see a new breed of poster.. hope you stick around

[graciegirl]

This is the first time I have ever heard anyone say anything quite like that.

It doesn't sound at all helpful or respectful and not the least diplomatic.

It really isn't anyway to get anything done but to hurt someone and make them angry.

[Moderator]

The topic was an incident in The Villages today.

Discussion has gone far off topic. PLease stay on topic, avoid partisan or political discussion or the thread will be closed.

[kittygilchrist]

With due respect, we all feel depressed about the state of the union and the world.

If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, then will I hear from heaven and heal their land.

[Sophie11]

There is only one chance to save us and it is turning back to GOD!

[Stdole]

I must say after reading these threads for several years... I think here we are mostly on the same page, all of us! In the past several months these problems (especially ones mentioned by RAGS123) have all come to a head... but have been brewing for several decades either in front of us or secretly behind the scenes... most of which we the residents of The Villages and others like us can do anything about... When our top leader refuses almost every expert General and other Experts in their field e.g.. Medical, and others we cannot expect these problems to get any better for sure..

I feel we have little hope but to sit on the side lines and watch the smoke!

I have fault my way to this point... I am worn out and feel I have helped a few Americans along the way and others as well... I honestly feel that most of the good people of The Villages has most done the same... Too many bad people in the world for me to tackle or even debate...

The best to those that have to take our place from here!

What I can't quite wrap my head around is how a news event that happens in The Villages or Cape Town or Beijing has the potential to be translated, transmitted and discussed within seconds by over a billion people.

Looks like many of us agree with you gomoho!!

[DAWN MARIE]

I dance all the time with Noel. She was the one killed today by her husband. It's a very sad day for the line dancers who are just finding out about this awful tragedy tonight. She was a sweet person. I'm sure when she got up this morning she didn't expect this to be her last day. All the more reason we all must be eternity minded because we never know when our last day will be.

[Chi-Town]

Two people are dead and mostly spew so far. Amazing. Thank you moderator. There could be a back story to this tragedy.

[Skybo]

We have a BINGO !!!!!!

My condolences on the loss of your friend Dawn.

[simpkinp]

My condolences. A very sad thing for those who knew these neighbors. I don't understand how some of those other comments apply to a sad event in our community. We can never understand the pain our friends are feeling. We can only try to be there for them when they need us.

[kaydee]

What ever the reason or cause 2 people have died tragically. Horrible news for the family friends & neighbors.

Your post has absolutely nothing to do with a murder-suicide in The Villages.

We know nothing about the reason for the double killing. Stop putting political spin on a tragedy.

In a town of around 100,000, we still have an extremely low crime rate and especially when you consider violent crimes on a person.

Feel compassion for the victim's family and leave your political views in the garbagecan.

I have to agree with you. How it becomes a political conversation is perplexing, and has nothing to do with this personal tragedy. We human beings are complicated, imperfect creatures, who can fall apart. My thoughts and prayers go out to their families and friends who are having to cope with such a loss.

[cologal]

Amen to that!!!

There is a definite backstory to this tragedy... We have a real problem, not just in the NFL, with violence against women. When this was reported on the news last night I just waited to hear a conformation of what I already new.

HER HUSBAND KILLED HER AND THEN KILLED HIMSELF

One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.

An estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year.

85% of domestic violence victims are women.

Historically, females have been most often victimized by someone they knew.

Females who are 20-24 years of age are at the greatest risk of nonfatal intimate partner violence.5 Most cases of domestic violence are never reported to the police.


Witnessing violence between one’s parents or caretakers is the strongest risk factor of transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next.

Boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their own partners and children when they become adults.8 30% to 60% of perpetrators of intimate partner violence also abuse children in the household.

Almost one-third of female homicide victims that are reported in police records are killed by an intimate partner.

In 70-80% of intimate partner homicides, no matter which partner was killed, the man physically abused the woman before the murder.

Less than one-fifth of victims reporting an injury from intimate partner violence sought medical treatment following the injury.

Intimate partner violence results in more than 18.5 million mental health care visits each year.

I am confused by the dichotomy of your last two posts. You oppose prayer and oppose violence against women.

I oppose violence against women too, against anyone for that matter but I don't oppose prayer.

[graciegirl]

I hope this isn't "spew" Chi-town. People try to handle a shocking tragedy in many ways.

I feel sad for the family of this couple and the friends here in The Villages and in their home state.

I just read where a couple in Indiana died by the same means just hours after their wedding.

Life makes us change and grow and sometimes our partner is threatened by change or maybe he was unstable or had some mental issue.

Depression is very common among senior citizens. If any of you are feeling down, seek help please. The G family dispenses strong hugs and coffee if any of you need a listening ear.
