Bermuda homeowner gunned down in US

[Yeager]

well....Im back for a bit, if you want to hook up sometime over the holidays I could use some protection.......err.....supp ort hehe...

Actually, the game is playing pretty well for me.  The pony seems a bit more inclined to slice through the air like a sharpened blade rather than plow through it like a dull knife through cold butter ala the old days, maybe its just me.

So yeah, if you or any of the 13th would be up for some fun, lets hook up

What kind of ****ed up newspaper begins a murder story with the victims estimated wealth?  Does that make his death more or less tragic??

I think they do that only in a couple of places on earth... Curval & I  both live in places like that... only he sees the sun more often than me

At least a respectable white man shot him.  That makes me feel better.  

Curv - any idea of what the perpetrator was wearing at the time? I shall feel greatly relieved if it turns out he was wearing a tie.

Midnight,

You're right about the total lack of sensible border controls.  They should start checking papers, identities, and doing full body/possession searches at all borders.  Because you can't be too safe.

Ok... so a man is gunned down in a state that has some of the toughest gun control laws in the land...

He is a multi million/billionare who is also a crook and a child molester and his kids all would be much wealthier if he was dead.  

the shooter is an unknown white male.

Do you think that the family member would have had any harder time getting a hit man if the gun control laws in mass were any stricter?

Are there no hit men in other countries with draconian gun control?

From our local paper:

A Tuckers Town resident worth an estimated $100 million was shot in the parking lot of his Massachusetts company, Cambridge Executive Enterprises, on Friday.
John. J. Donovan Sr., 63, and a former electrical engineering and management professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was recovering at his Hamilton, Massachusetts home on Sunday, according to the American press.
Mid-Ocean Club past-president Michael Dunkley said Mr. Donovan was a part-time resident in Bermuda.
"I always thought he was a very pleasant guy," Mr. Dunkley said. "I used to see him around and never had any reason to dislike him."
A Tucker's Town resident said last night Mr. Donovan owned Winsor House, near Ross Perot's house in Tucker's Town, but did not live on the Island and rented it out to people from MIT.
A total of four shots were fired at Mr. Donovan, three bullets hit him and a fourth deflected off his belt buckle, it said.
"It's a rough world," Mr. Dunkley. "Thank God we don't have guns in Bermuda."
Police said the shooting did not appear to be at random and Police investigated a possible attempted break-in at Mr. Donovan's home about 30 minutes before he was shot.
Donovan described the shooter only as a white male.
A shooter had not yet been apprehended by press time last night.
A statement issued on Saturday by Donovan's family – who are embroiled in a bitter legal dispute with him – said they were "shocked and saddened" by the shooting.
"It raises concerns about the safety of all of our family members," they said. "We are cooperating with the investigation, and we have no further information at this time."
In 2003, Donovan reported someone fired a rifle into his home.
The multi-millionaire was embroiled in a bitter legal feud with his five children.
In 2002, one of Donovan's daughters, who was not identified, alleged in a court affidavit that Donovan sexually abused her as a child, however, Donovan responded in his own affidavit that the allegation was absolutely false.
Donovan left teaching to go into private business, where he started several technology-related companies.
Cambridge Executive Enterprises trains executives how to use technology in business.
He has written several books and The New York Times once called Donovan the "Johnny Carson of the training circuit".

Sounds like he wasn't a "family man".   Maybe sorta snobbish and pompous?

Curv,
You picked the wrong state to wack with your cricket bat.   Mass. has some of the toughest and strictist gun control laws in the country.  

It is more like England than anywhere else in the states, add to that the fact that it happened in Cambridge, which is as close to socialist as this country gets.

Ahhh...but Stringy I wasn't really commenting on US gun control, no no no...I was commenting on the fact that he should have stayed HERE instead of going into the dark dangerous United States where guns are easily aquired and (as stated above) easily transported across state lines.  Our gun control laws are more strict than Colonial Massachusettes.

Beet...I believe he was wearing a tie...an Armani.  It was probably equipped with a bullet richoceting tie clip kinda like his belt buckle.  Quality...always think quality...with it usually comes utility.  

[eskimo2]

Was he wearing those shorts?

[Stringer]

Hehe....good one, Curv

Yeah, cause then his relatives would have had to hire an assassin to hit him over the head with a coconut instead!:D

Hiya Yeag.

This is usually a low-time part of the year for me. During the hunting season, I'm normally shooting things down without the help of a computer.

Also, I've had some carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists, so stick and throttle precision aren't too precise right now.
 
I'll be up more after pheasant season.
