PALESTINE, Texas – Six people, including a family of recent transplants to Texas from Maine, were murdered over the weekend at a rural campsite southeast of Dallas, and authorities said a suspect had been arrested in the case.

William Hudson, 33, is charged with one murder count and was being held Monday on $2.5 million bond. Prosecutors are expected to file additional charges. It was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney who could comment on the allegations.

"His temper and violence are getting worse and worse," Catrina Hudson said in a 2006 affidavit. "I am deathly afraid of him, and afraid that he will kill me, and my daughter if he gets the chance."

Isn't there a rule about posting religious posts? Way past time for this one to close.

Not really, and I work with someone affected by this.

I think this thread should be closed, because its becoming about "me" and what "I" think...not the people who lost their lives.

Does this have anything at all to do with camping?

Without knowing him, I'd guess that Walaby isn't controlled by the devil.

I'd guess you're right.

I'd further guess that he isn't controlled by God either. If one could control him, then why not the other?

How about we leave God and the devil (assuming either one even really exists) out of it? How about we all make our own decisions just like the killer did. How about no one sent him there any more than anyone sent the victims there? Or do we need to believe there is some kind of bigger plan at work? I want no part of a plan that kills multiple innocents for no apparent reason.

Answering just this part of your question, light and darkness cannot exists in the same space at the same time. So, where there is light darkness cannot exists. Darkness is the absence of light. The perp is obviously FULL of darkness and there is no light in him. The darkness in his heart is what made it possible for him to do this. And yeah, bad things can happen to good people. Again, just say'n!

So God and the devil can't exist in the same place at the same time?

And to equate military preparedness to what can be expected for civilian preparedness is ridiculous. To expect everyone to be prepared to kill anyone they meet is asinine.

So you believe that folks in the military (or otherwise in conflict) are the only ones who might encounter evil? Could it be said that all those folks in Paris died because no one in the entire crowd was prepared or able to defend themselves? Look at the video of those people who were shot at while at the cafe in Paris. Had almost any of them been armed, they could have almost positively stopped that one attacker. I'll take a gun any day over not having one!!

Thank you Majorgator (The "They were shot" info)

Folks I keep hearing from some folks how more guns is the solution..Texas is a state with lots of guns.

Here's the progblem.. Average reaction time is 1/4 of a second, Assuming I'm on the alert it will take me 1/4 second to see you as a danger.. Average.. of course if I'm not on "Red Alert" it might take one second or more to HEY' HE's pointing a gun at me" and with a semi-automatic weaping he's already fired 3 or 4 shots. I'm dead (or dying) and not able to draw my weapon and shoot back.

(on the other hand if I have a weapon he'd better shoot me first cause I tend to shoot straight and I drink coffee, not booze) But still. Odds are even as a teen I'd not have been fast enough.

That is 1/4 second to see the danger.. and then you have to put your hand on teh gun, draw, on some models release the safety, aim and fire... no way are you fast enough.. not possible.

That said. in a campground situation if it is your next site neighbor's family that's getting shot.. You may be fast enough to put a stop to it since the shooter is not focused on you. (You are still covered by "Self Defense" since it's defense of others in this case. but.. Well.. I know folks who are highly trained, and even they have issues with shooting a real person. I **THINK** I know how I'd respond.. But I'd rather not test it.

Actually, my point was being made to counter the folks who said that that there wasn't any indication as to "how" the people were killed. I was not (and will never) make the suggestion that we shouldn't have more good guys with guns. There will always be bad guys with guns...ALWAYS!!! Another gun is not always the answer (might not have saved the victims in this case), but if you don't have some form of self-defense, you may not live to know whether or not it would have made a difference. Your reaction time is not a useful argument against having a gun for self-defense. Your argument is based upon you getting shot and disabled immediately. Of course, that won't always be the case.

I've seen this incident posted on a number of forums.

What bugs me is the OPs post in incorrectly as occurring in a campground, as if to panic all us that use campgrounds.

They all failed to read the news correctly, that it happened at at private residence, NOT a public or private campground.:M

I wish people would read stuff like this thoroughly, before starting a post about it.

Does it matter where it happened? Campground, your living room, Wal-Mart parking lot? Make reasonable preparations for your safety regardless of where you are. If God sees fit, you might be able to thwart the efforts of the perpetrator.

If God didn't want the perp to get you, why did he send him there to begin with?

[coolbreeze01]

Sounds like they fed the killer drinks before he attacked them.

So much for being friendly to a neighbor. Of course they didn't know he was a psychopath.

The more troublesome thing is that some media sources do not feel it is important to report events accurately.

I communicated with the Chief Editor of CNN Broadcast News about the inaccuracies of their coverage of hurricane Rita (the one following Katrina). Since the media had people in place and had been whipped into a frenzy by Katrina, many stories were broadcast with no accuracy. The last E mail from Mr Editor, he stated that it was more important to generate real-time news to inform the public than to get it right. It's difficult to argue with an idiot.
