so sad

[Queen of France2]

It is very sad to lose such nice young men. They're in our prayers.

[Get your Facts Straight]

I knew both of these men, and one of them is married with a baby on the way. They were friends for a number of years, and were definitely not queers. Get your facts straight before you run your mouth and disrespect them, you idiot. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Grow up.

What's up with you? A lot of posts about an alternative life style. Are you a homophobe, homophile of homosexual? I'd bet you are homophobic because you are homosexual and can't accept it.

These two guys were murdered, they have families and friends who are grieving the loss. Grow up.

Oh yeah, get a dictionary so you can look up the big words.

[queen of franch]

You are now a suspect!

Did you have another reply???
Sad that people like you are around making nasty comments about two great guys. It is sad that people like you live and spread hatefull lies, and two nice, hard working guys like Ryan and Mark have to die. I would not wish death or the pain of loosing loved ones to a violent crime on anyone, but it sounds like you are a waste of oxygen. What sort of unhappy hatefull jackoff are you? You should truly be ashamed of yourself!!!!
I hate to be angry. I do not like to say hatefull things to people. You too should have more respect for the feelings of others.

I knew Mr. Prasse. He was not a homosexual. He was a good person.

I don't pretend to know about these two men, but I think you would be shocked by the number of gay men that marry women, and even have children, out of conformity and/or fear of the oftenly homophobic midwest culture. I think it would be very safe to say that this is more common than open homosexuality in these areas, and there is no reason to think that you can point them out ... even if you are their best friend.

Ok, so maybe you should stick to what is relavent here. I don't care how many gay men mary women, this is not the case here. One was teking the other home from a DUI class, you know becasue he could not drive. NOT GAY! What this family is going through right now is not good, and if you have nothing to say that is related to this situation, don't say anything!

from what i hear but don't know them the ones girlfreind/wife owed drug dealers money and they came to collect and that is what happen.is that one true.i know noone will buy the house for that reason affraid they will be back

[cubs]

A question for jlk: I don't know, but wouldn't a drug dealer demand money from a person, set a deadline, maybe threaten several times before killing you and your best friend. I find it hard to believe that this crime has anything to do with the selling of drugs. I think somebody would have known if Mark or Ryan were running from anything or anybody!

You are inferring intelligence of drug dealers actions! Exploding prision populations would prove otherwise;) I assume that jlk was referring to the wife owing money to drug dealers. Therefore, if you take out the husband, wouldn't the wife then have his money to pay her debt? I also heard that th

Don't think anyone in VG would owe any drug dealer enough money to commit murder for it. Just don't see it being a drug thing. You also heard ?

People kill for less than $5.00. The $ value is irrevelant.

Do you think the murders were a random act of unkindess? If not money, what do you think they killed for?

[cubs]

If I had to guess, I think they walked into a home invasion. Yes, I think it could have been a random robbery attempt. Nothing ties Mark or Ryan with drug dealers, not even girlfriend or wife.

[wdi]

You think there isn't tie based only on what you know.

Do you think they walked in on an invasion or were invaded?

What are the chances of a rural farmer guy being the victim of 2 horrificlly violent crimes in 6 months? I think it reeks of intention, based on what I hear.

I think if the police thought for a second that it was a random act, the media would have been warnig the community to be on the lookout for some very bad people instead of following up leads.
