Boat rage! The two perps got po'd at the guy supposedly, because he couldn't find the dock / ramp in the dark and beat him to death?!

I don't even know how to react or what to say! This is a shame, what is wrong with people today? Stuff like this is exactly why I'm scared to stop and help people on the lake or on the road. You just never know anymore!

 

[mjwendorf]

I would guess there were some drugs involved.

That is unreal.....hard to even believe. So those two rocket scientists were in the boat with the guy, he got lost and they got mad. One of the two got so mad he killed the poor guy for getting lost. By beating him to death with a hammer. emoEek emoDoh Jmax

I'm with Matt, drugs and probably a lot of them. Might have even been cooking meth in the boat. I have never carried a hammer fishing and now I know why. The woods and lake are sacred to me and I have always gone out of my way to help but this is making me reconsider.

This is also the types of things that make me have a pistol on my boat at all times. Not sure that it would have helped in this situation.

We raise them good here in Cleveland

Thats why I choose to fish alone. If I wanna get lost, I will, and nobody will smack me in the head with a hammer when I do. My best guess would be that they are a few of Tennessees finest meth cooks. Sure hope they cleaned the island of the meth lab!

Yeah but only a meth head would beat a man to death in a boat on a river and take the hammer he used home instead of throwing it in the damn river.......

Your probably right I was just trying to open some eyes , Some people just don't want to believe that there are people in the world that could do this unless they are under the influence of something and I believe the world is full of low lifes that would do this just because they can and they need to stand trial without being able to put the blame on something else other than their cold hearted, cold blooded self and stare straight down the hall of the death penalty...These people would be hanged in less than a month in other countries for crimes this low down instead of wasting millions of dollars in tax money supporting them and their appeals through the court system.

 

[jcsanders79]

Don't get me wrong, I think your right about the fact that he's a cold blooded killer with no regard for life. Anyone that beat a man to death with a hammer over something like getting lost doesn't deserve a spot on earth. I think that drugs, meth especially, bring out the worst in people.

... when are you running for office Rod? I'll sure vote for 'ya!
