TSO sends us a link from Broward County, Florida<\/a> about Pedro Maldonado Sr. who murdered his wife and son and then drove to the other end of the state to only fail to murder his other son;<\/p>\n

While the Broward County Sheriff’s Office continues to piece together a time line, detectives believe Maldonado shot and killed his 47-year-old wife, Monica Narvaez-Maldonado, and their 17-year-old son, Pedro Maldonado Jr., with a crossbow in their Weston townhouse sometime on Monday. Weston is located about 13 miles west of Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n

The sheriff’s report says Maldonado, 53, then drove about 460 miles north to Tallahassee in an attempt to kill his older son, Jos\u00e9 Maldonado, who attends Florida State University.<\/p>\n

“His dad did try to shoot him with the same handheld crossbow and the arrow hit Jose’s ear,” Dani Moschella, a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s department, told CNN affiliate WSVN. “Then his father tried to choke him, and Jos\u00e9 luckily was able to get away.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m outraged by this. If I lived in the United Kingdom, I’d probably write some screed about how we should regulate crossbows by turning back the clock on the technology in their construction, limiting the number that we can purchase, start crossbow buy back programs and forbidding the police to auction off the crossbows that they buy back and burying your crossbow with your earthly remains when you die, hopefully of natural causes.<\/p>\n

But, when I prepared to write that screed, I realized that I don’t live in the United Kingdom nor do I own any crossbows, so I really don’t have any dog in this fight. So, I’ll just shut up now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
