Cousin of Bode Miller kills cop, shot dead by passerby

Re: And sportschick weeps silently ...

Hey Headbutt, can we move the Bode Miller's cousin's murder and merge it with this one? I was unaware that he quit the ski team until I read this thread.

I'm just speculating, but talk about strange timing. His cousin is found with along with a cop, and then today he quits the team.

 

Re: And sportschick weeps silently ...

Bode's been making retirement noises for a while. He's never fit in well with the ski team. Can't say I'm surprised he quit the team nor would I be surprised if his decision to finally quit the team was tied to his cousin's death.

As it turns out, Miller's cousin killed the cop, then a passer-by grabbed the dead cop's gun and killed the cousin. The cousin and the cop had a history of other run-ins together. Sad story.

The cousin thing just got weirder. Apparently cousin shot, then ran over the cop four times before a passerby grabbed the officer's gun and shot the cousin. Cousin and cop had had run-ins before.

I was in NH working last night.
This was the Kennedy assassination for local news.

Stay classy Bode.

 

Re: And sportschick weeps silently ...

The cousin story was really interesting. Apparently the cousin had accused the same cop of brutality during a previous arrest and hated the cop so much that Bode once challenged a speeding ticket from the same cop just to antagonize said cop.

Strange, small-town stuff.

Before I read the specifics about the story I was thinking how much it must suck to be famous (especially those not necessarily rich) and have your name in the news everytime an idiot relative does something stupid and criminal.

If I were famous my name would be in the paper every day for the criminal actions of my relatives. Dumb asses.

Sounds like a reverse Rumble Fish.

How do you think the fellas in prison feel about making those Live Free or Die license plates?

I'm from NH and spent a summer in the Franconia area one during college; there's absolutely nothing to do up there except hike, mountain bike, go to some crappy water park, look at where the Old Man used to be, or ski in the winter. My friends and I basically got drunk every night and hoped the bears wouldn't come snooping around, no joking about the bears. I worked at a bike shop for a guy named Stan who would run to the bank everytime a customer came in. I worked there for two weeks, never got paid. I would drive a van up a mountain so people could ride the bike trails back down. Sadly, I rode a bike (yes, uphill) to work.
