  1. Sheesh. I’m not trying to be funny but some people-what an asshole-I’m sure this incident didn’t come out of no where. Poor lady, beaten to death with a hammer-bad ending.

  2. Well … ?

    If a Romanian woman can rip her husband’s nutsack for not doing the dishes …

    Ain’t Europe great?

    Give em Obola and Trudeau and they’d be FABULOUS!

  3. @Dan Ryan Galt: I would rather have been shot than beat to death with a hammer. I’m all for quick and easy. Now he’s going to be singing the Jail House Blues along with Big Bubba.

  4. What weight hammer was it and was it straight or curved or ball peen? Britons will want to know before the govt takes action and bans a particular type to reduce the hammer violence.
