News: 2 die in rock python attack

Yeah...what if the dad had actually something to do with their deaths and used the snake as a cover up? I guess if we find out the results we'll know.

Please listen to the UJR interview before posting ANY more comments.

There are still a few questions to be answered but as of now, it APPEARS that the very worst has happened.

I originally wrote pitbull attack, but I didn't want to unfairly single out any specific breed.

And no, you never heard of that because it doesn't fit the narrative.

ok...second of all i agree with what all you guys are saying in that the news reporters are doing a lousy job giving all the details on this incident, which is leading people to believe all these wild accusations and basically doing a job of crippling the herp society ....anyway i live a couple hours away from where all of this has happened, and i am to the point where i want to beat people away with a stick because they keep asking me all these questions like "why would you keep such an animal?", "aren't you scared that it might strangle you?", "why would this snake strangle the kids?","can they really get that big?"....etc.. the usually questions but with only more intensity. then the majority of these people have the audacity to tell me that i am wrong and they believe/fallow all the things they are saying on the news like a herd of sheep (i am utterly disappointed). i just wish the news was still about the facts and not about the ratings. but anyway i will keep holding on and continue to educate as many of these people as i can for the greater good of our herp society.

(sorry for the poor writing, i had to type this up fast as im at work)

Were he not dead, I would fear strangulation by David Carradine more than my snakes.

Sounds like it is confirmed then that it is the snake that killed the kids then??

Correlation does not imply causation. The presence of bite marks is not conclusive enough IMHO to determine if the snake actually did kill the kids.

This article is saying now that "officials" believe he had the snake in the apartment and not in the store downstairs.

Though reports originally indicated that the snake slithered up from the Reptile Ocean pet store below, officials now believe that the snake was housed in the upstairs apartment.

Whoever gets away with this, is either the smartest or the luckiest person ever. And perhaps even a combination of both.

Didnt want to start yelling at my computer....could someone provide a summation of the report so I don't have to get quite as angry about this??

I listened to the first 2 minutes (?) and it did sound like they are attributing the bite marks with the Cause of Death??
