William Pettry had flown from Milwaukee to Jacksonville, Fla., for the
Bears game against the Jaguars with his best friend, looking for a
good time.

He never made it to the football game. His life ended at a bar early
Sunday when police said a Jacksonville man, Matthew Hinson, 27,
slashed Pettry’s throat “cold-bloodedly” after he talked to Hinson’s
wife.

Pettry, 42, and a father of three, died at a nearby hospital.

Witnesses told police that Hinson “cut the victim and calmly walked
out of the establishment,” putting the knife in his pocket.

Police stopped Hinson before he pulled out of the bar parking lot in
his truck, and he scuffled with officers. “He resisted a little bit,”
Jacksonville County Police Lt. Rob Schoonover said at a Monday news
conference.

Police said Hinson admitted to the killing but wouldn’t say why he did
it. Police said the killing was not sports-related.

Pettry was a construction worker and “such a huge Bears fan. ... He
never got to go to the Bears game, he never got to enjoy it," his
cousin, Quincy Asbury Jr., told the Chicago Tribune.

In a Facebook post that has since been taken down, Pettry’s wife,
Karen, posted that “I'm so numb and I still can not believe it is
true. Today my husband William Christopher Pettry (Most of you only
know him by Chris) was taken from his family way too early. Some idiot
has taken his life. I’m so mad, just don’t understand why, very lost
right now. Please hug the ones you love because you never know if
tomorrow you will have that chance.”

hand prints and the words "#1 Daddy We Love you!"

Police said that at the bar, Hinson saw Pettry and a friend talking to
Hinson’s wife and another woman. At one point, police said, Hinson was
sitting on a bench with Pettry, then stood up and cut his throat
before walking out.

Yup we need better knife control here.

It's not a weapons problem, it's a mental health problem further
exacerbated by easy access to guns. But I guess 10,000 gun deaths a
year is an acceptable figure to you. The CDC doesn't agree with you.

You are half right. It IS a mental health issue. Some people want to
be violent and they WILL obtain a weapon to kill or maim other people.
(Note the preoccupation in some cultures with Acid Attacks.)

It is ludicrous for you to reach Soooooooo far as to ascribe a knife
attack to guns, but it isn't surprising. What is easier to obtain, a
gun or a knife? Would Karen Pettry agree with you, or the CDC, or
anybody spouting anti-gun nonsense? Likely not. You see, a gun was not
necessary to take away her husband, her life, or her future from her.

You are an insensitive tool. You need to get a grip and focus you
attention on what is REALLY wrong.

And you owe Karen Pettry the most abject and penitent apology every
given by a kool-aid drinking, righteous, better than thou, jerk.

You REALLY crossed the line.

WTF are you talking about. Are you in touch with Karen and is she a
poster here?

Take your righteous bull**** and shove it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Be it mental health, drugs or whatever .... there were 806,843
aggravated assaults in the USA in 2009. "Aggravated assault" is
defined as the unlawful attack by one person upon another for the
purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury and involves
the display of—or threat to use—a gun, knife, or other weapon.

26.9 percent were committed with hands, fists, and feet; 20.9 percent
were committed with firearms; and 18.7 percent were committed with
knives or cutting instruments. The remaining 33.5 percent of
aggravated assaults were committed with other weapons.

Note that the 806,843 number does not include simple assaults, battery
or break-ins. I suspect the inclusion of those would triple or
quadruple the number.

When I was a younger man with children in the house I never wanted
firearms in our house. But now as a "young", 63 year old senior, kids
gone and it's just my wife and I ... I have often thought about
"what would I do if" type scenarios. News reports of assaults
(including the many that you like to repeat here in this newsgroup in
your anti-gun crusade) do nothing to convince me to become an
anti-gun advocate. To the contrary, they reinforced my decision to
get the necessary permits to own and carry a firearm (when
appropriate) for personal defense and for that of my wife.

To *me*, not doing so is irresponsible.

What about easy access to knives, that is the problem in the article. If
you are going to be a gun-control-freak then you have to stick to the
narrative.
