Cokes, I'm not trying to start anything with you, but this feels salty. My position is: this is either courageous, therapeutic or both for Jody.

He's not running a grift, as far as I can tell. He's not playing for sympathy or even attention that I can tell. Seems straightforward sharing of a childhood trauma and news story that was locally/regionally famous (infamous?) and with which many of us are familiar.

So, are you salty or did I misread you?

---

Nah, it's not salty at all. And he's nowhere near as bad as he used to be on here. It used to be really, really....strange. And he and I discussed it in a thread years ago on here. I'm not sure it's courageous or therapeutic at this point...it's more just normal for him (as he said in his response to me). But it's always felt a bit "off" on here.

And more power to him. I'm glad he's in a place where he can talk about some obviously serious shite from his life. And he's very proud of his dad, which he should be. Like I said, it's just always been odd in threads on here about it (though it was much worse years ago). But my initial post was about how unafraid he is to share things about it. To the point where it's strange. But admittedly, that's coming from someone who's never even remotely been in his position or gone through what he did.

Damn, I wish I wouldnt have watched that

It always struck me as humorous that he wanted to make sure he hung up the phone after he blew that dudes brains out.

What I took away from that as well. Yet the news hadn’t figured out it was Gary yet when they broadcast it

---

The news knew exactly who it was. My dad used to work for Channel 2 and was on their bowling team. The program director Bob Shadel is the one who told him when Jeff was arriving.

It happened at 9:30pm so my dad wasn't booked yet so I guess that's why they didn't confirm his identity. But I'm not sure.

Mike Barnett sure as he'll knew who it was.

Did I ever send you that story/song about your dad?

I'm pretty sure you did. You sent me a song a few years back.

Not blaming you. My curiosity is to blame.

Dude must have been a shite karate instructor to be sneak attacked like that
