Chivalry still alive in Colorado

This heartwarming tale of love from the Daily Camera ('Boulder County's newspaper') I dedicate to Rob and Gill, whose wedding on Saturday I am unable to attend due to an unfortunate case of geography.

Nederland man David Gordon, or "Barstool Dave" as he is more commonly known (for reasons unexplained), is appealing against his conviction for the murder of his partner in 1988. On returning home he found his lover, Angela Foulks, in some discomfort having failed to commit suicide by shooting herself in the ear. In order to end her suffering, Barstool Dave finished the job off. As a stranger to the joys of matrimony, I can only speculate as to the deep love that a man must have for his woman in order to shoot her 3 times, in the face, at point blank range.

Rob, Gill, best of luck on Saturday, and I hope the gift of his'n'hers matching Webleys arrives on time. If nothing else, they'll be useful for keeping the bloody starlings from crapping on your car.
