#4 Sorry guys, but I personally find the snark out of place on this one.

What a horrid way to be murdered!

#5 LOTP, there you go, jumping to conclusions again. If the keys are still in the ignition then it may be suicide. You never know, it could happen.

#7 C'mon guys. Sheesh! This was a gruesome and despicable murder. Have a little respect.

#8 I thought the horrific and unusual nature of this crime merited posting here, but if I'd known it would have generated so much amusement, I wouldn't have posted it.

I'll laugh as much as anyone at the Darwin Award candidates who off themselves doing the most stupid and ignorant things, but so far this appears to be an act of violence perpetrated against an innocent victim, and I don't find it funny at all.

#10 Horrible way to go. I'd rather have my head chopped off than go out like that.

#11 UPDATE: Suspect in custody--

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office announced an arrest this morning in the death of a woman dragged behind a vehicle for a mile on a rural roadway. Jose Luis Rubi-Nava, 36, of Glendale, was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder. He is the man pictured in a photograph found near where the woman was dragged which was distributed to local news media when the sheriff asked for help in the investigation. Rubi-Nava is a suspected illegal immigrant.

#12 Rubi-Nava is a suspected illegal immigrant.

Well, isn't that NICE.

#13 Sad to say but I hope she was dead prior to the dragging. I also find some of the comments distasteful. Usually rantburgers are a bit better than that.

#14 I snark, therefore I am.

I don't know how many of you here write your own comedy material. I do and I've performed it publically. Try doing it sometime, you might be surprised. Writing a good joke that no one has ever heard before is far more difficult than you probably imagine.

Conrad Hyers said that comedy expresses a "stubborn refusal to give tragedy...the final say." For further insight, I refer you to the American Bard, Samuel Langhorne Clemens:

Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of Humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.

— Mark Twain —

Either you laugh about it or cry about it. We're all born crying. Some of us learn to stop.

#15 Permit me to say that I am extremely glad they have a suspect in custody.

#16 Maybe Rubi-Nava should be hog tied behind an F-250 Ford and drug back to Mexico.

Reminds me of Stranger In A Strange Land, when Michael finally gets why people laugh. The whole wrongness thing. I couldn't get myself to laugh at this one.

#18 I thought your snark was funny Zenster. Everyone else can lighten up a little bit. They have a good hooty-hoo when some arab asshat blows up his own family in a Gaza apartment, but jump your ass for this.

#19 Come on, bigjim. You're usually better than that. You know perfectly well why a "work accident" by a bomber is a different matter than what appears to be a gruesome, horrific murder.

#20 Arrest made in Colo. dragging death
A man was arrested in the gruesome dragging death of a woman after a stained and tattered photograph of him was found at the crime scene, police said Wednesday.

Jose Luis Rubi-Nava, 36, was arrested Tuesday night on suspicion of murder and jailed without bail. Investigators said they were still trying to identify the victim, who was dragged behind a vehicle with a rope, leaving a trail of blood more than a mile long.
...
Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Carl Rusnok said agents believe Rubi-Nava is an illegal immigrant from Mexico.

Guess the victim was also Mexican.

I really appreciate your discerning attitude, bigjim-ky.

When everyone here can get over the "muzzie", "diaperhead", "raghead" and "bullets dipped in lard" sort of craptacular horseshit, just let me know. I'll be more than happy to submit to Politically Correct nonsense when that happens. Until then, I'll be particularly glad for your sort of support.

PS: Almost Anonymous5839, right up and until they ban politically incorrect speech at this beloved website, I'll thank you for posting a hilarious alternative to my own bit of snarkcasm.

Works for me, Besoeker .
