I posted a story a few posts ago about an old farmer that was murdered in his home by a druggie. Seems people disregard it. I don't care about what's happening on Wikipedia, Fox News, Netherlands, or PA - I care about what happened here.

>>This was a weak defense Kevin. So far Hugo is the winner. As a reaction to you he gave other 'anecdotes'. You might try to prove that his type of anecdotes is occurring only very seldomly and yours is occurring most of the time. But you didn't come with such numbers and I think you'll not gonna find numbers in your favor.
