Tragic. Sickening that the ex-cop was free after being arrested for sexually assaulting a minor in June.

Yes tragic. But we can’t lock people up over allegations. We have due process for a reason.

Due process that takes years to get around to people is the problem.

Wow, it's been a really hard few days for UNT athletics.
RIP to all the victims - not just in Austin but everywhere in the USA - of all the mass shootings we've seen in 2021 (and all years really). We just continue to have way too many shootings.
And yes, I know I'm bringing politics into this discussion but I don't know how you can't do that in this particular case.

Maybe you can explain how politics played a role in this? I didnt know killing your wife, daughter and the wife's boyfriend, was political?

RE: UNT signee Willie Simmons III killed [emoji20]
I'm talking about all the killings over the last few weeks, not just the Austin one.
We had a lull in the mass killings with Covid, but now that things are getting back to normal, the killings have returned.
I don't think anyone can be happy about that.
Also, where did you see that the ex-cop killed his wife, daughter and the wife's boyfriend. Are you trying to say Simmons was the boyfriend of the killer's estranged wife?

Quote:AUSTIN, Texas -- A former Texas sheriff's deputy was booked on a capital murder charge Monday after police say he shot and killed his ex-wife, teenage stepdaughter and another man during a weekend shooting that shut down a busy Austin shopping area and set off an overnight manhunt.
Officers found Stephen Broderick, 41, about 20 miles from the scene of Sunday's shooting, which prompted active shooter alerts and unnerved residents in the Texas capital at a time when the U.S. has been wracked in recent weeks by mass killings.

From what I understand, Simmons was the daughter's boyfriend.
RIP Willie Simmons

It has been a sad time around UNT. Too much loss. These recent events really put my love of sports in perspective. I hope everyone on this board spends a little more time with their family while they can.
