Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

A North Richland Hills, Texas, man attempted to make his suicide look like a kidnapping and murder, using a technique straight out of an episode of CSI. Thomas Hickman, 55, shot himself with a gun tied to helium balloons so that it would fly away after being fired.

He was an executive with Red Lobster Restaurants. We have them here in California.

from the article:

... the investigation showed that at the time of his death, Mr. Hickman's life was in turmoil. Lisa Hickman, his wife of 29 years, was ill, and he had been caring for her for some time. Mr. Hickman had also recently lost some money in the stock market...

He probably wanted to make sure his life insurance policy would pay off. Most insurance companies don't cover death by suicide although nothing is mentioned about that in the article. Guess he just couldn't take any more stress in his life. Sad he couldn't have sought some help for himself.

Probably realized he was a tool of satan. It's in the Bible.
Being from Texas, I'm surprised he didn't just go knock on some old fart's door. That generally gets you killed there.

North Richland Hills was my neck of the woods. I used to live off of Davis Blvd. where Keller, NRH, Colleyville and Southlake all collide.

AN EXecutive! Well, I hope he died/dies painfully.

Yeh, that's it. Laughs.
We're all tools of the usury money masters, playing their game.
If there is a thing known as satan, they are it.
Slave drivers.

Excuse my bad sentence structure but in the grand scheme of things.

In Bend, an ER doctor of almost 30 years was found dead in the river last week. They found no reason for him to even be in the water. He was in financial trouble.

But it just didn't make any sense. If an ER Doctor wanted to off himself, couldn't he find a better way then drowning in a river?????

But what they can't do now, is determine that it was a suicide.

Smart that guy was.

A fucking Cop Out, but a smart one.

"^^^Serious class envy problems^^^"

Well then, that mean I wouldn't envy you because you don't have any class.

FF for Dani, and Bobotto you do realize that lobsters are an abomination in the eyes of the lord? Check Leviticus.

North Richland Hills was my neck of the woods.

Mine too. I lived in Euless, once as a kid and for a year as an adult.


I'm still waiting on someone to commit suicide cartoon style. Like tie an anvil on some balloons and it floats all the way to the moon and then comes loose and falls on his head. It hits him so hard, it knoocks him all the way through the earth and he comes out in china.

you've got to admit we have been having a lot more creative methods of suicide these days.

Classic conservative post. Just make up unbelievable shit to support moronic agendas.

I lived in Euless, once as a kid and for a year as an adult.

Why would you go back? I can honestly say that as much as I loved it growing up, I could never go back to the DFW area.

Danni's got WMD?

"The first clue was the bundle of white helium balloons, with the gun still attached, found snagged on bushes and cactus near Mr. Hickman's body."

That DOES make it exactly like an episode of CSI Miami. "First clue"????

CSI?

Actually, A.C.Doyle started it.

Spud can't remember the name of the story but it was a Sherlock Holmes story where a women framed a man fer murder by commiting suicide. The gun was attached to a string which was attached to a rock which was balanced ready to fall into a river below a bridge. She arranged it so that several people knew she was supposed to meet someone there at a certain time. After she was found shot that guy was the natural suspect. Guy begs Holmes fer help. Help he does.

Holmes deduced the plan based on a small nick in the bridge made by the gun before it went over the edge and into the water.

This plan may very well have also been based on the Thai housewife who was so jealous that her husband had taken another wife without consulting her that she cut off his penis and then attached it to a bunch of helium balloons.

That one they never found.

Be Well.

Why would you go back? I can honestly say that as much as I loved it growing up, I could never go back to the DFW area.

I didn't move away from Dallas/Fort Worth until my late twenties. I've lived out of there since, mostly here in Florida but also in Denver and Peoria.

Spud -- Yowiee! Ouch! How did you get that link?

That's me exactly. Born and raised in Plano, back when there were only 3,000 people and one stop light. But I'd never go back to live. People there are creepy uppity snobs now.

San Antonio, OTOH, is great. No pretenses and a lot to do and a very low cost of living.
