On the outrageous factors of the Bledsoe robbery/murder

There are so many things wrong with the robbery/murder (slaughter?) of a few days ago when David Bledsoe was gunned down in his own family's business.

The first, biggest and worst is that it happened at all, of course.

But there are so many more.

This just shouldn't have happened, no way.

Your family owns a business in town for decades and runs it decently, you should be left alone, no matter who you are.

But to be literally minding your own business--no pun intended, certainly--and closing the store and have someone come in with a gun because he thinks he needs your money that he hasn't earned is obscene.

There will be much written about that.  There already has been.

What strikes me--and more than a few of us-- as odd is that a grandson could and would be able to phone his grandparents to take him to "get some money" and then commit a robbery to do it.

Adding to the bizarre nature of this obscenity is that they--the grandparents--did just that--they drove the thug over to the store to do this.

Now here's the really additionall insane part.

The grandparents drive grandson over to get the money--read:  commit grand larceny with a handgun--and they end up killing a law-abiding, innocent, hard working man.

Then, the grandson and grandfather are charged.

But, insanely and bizarrely enough, the grandmother, who was in the car, isn't charged.

Would someone explain that to me, please?

And then tell me how anyone is going to develop business and businesses for other people to work at on the East side of this city, as Midtown Miscreant asked.

How is it anyone thinks that's going to happen in this atmosphere?
