Again and Again
30 October 2003 by Bob Brutal Killing Galvanizes Foes of Domestic Violence
Tracey Helms, young mother of two, was trying to shelter a friend from an abusive husband when, the police say, he showed up at Ms. Helms’s house and beat her to death with a steel shovel.“As she crawled away across the front lawn, he hit her again,” said Bobby Haulk, the Monroe police chief. “And again and again.”
Ms. Helms’s husband and children were sleeping inside. Her husband found her body that morning, after he looked out a window and saw an apron lying on the grass.
Totally disturbing. But here’s the clincher:
Janice Smyrl, Ms. Helms’s aunt, spoke next. She quoted the Bible:“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend.”
What a way to disconnect, detach, and “justify” the whole thing. Yep, looks like Janice is just another fucking xian moron. When you embrace God and xianity, just leave your brain at the door…

I am a freind of the Tracy (Bower) Helms and I’ve met Janice. I was doing an internet search for current news about the murder trial. Repent before you burn in hell!
