Poor Ron - his son stabbed his wife to death and then was killed by the police. Not how you want to end you days...

So you are really going to bring up he is a Trumper at this time? Did he and his family deserve this because he was a Trumper?

R12 Well, yes.

Wow. He sure didn't take after his dad.

I had the biggest Saturday afternoon crush on Ron when I was growing up.

I live a couple of miles from Ron Ely, and he and his wife would often eat Sunday breakfast at this really great little greasy spoon cafe called the Rainbow Grill, just outside of Hope Ranch. My family and I often sat near or next to the Elys in the outdoor patio, and you never met two nicer people. We'd chat about local goings-on, and I think it was appreciated that we treated them as "normal folks." Another semi-regular Rainbow Grill Sunday morning patron was former NBC newsman Sander Vanocur, who himself died only a month or so ago. One day the Elys were seated on one side of us, and Sander Vanocur was on the other, and I was reminded once again why I'm glad I was born in Santa Barbara and never left. You don't have to turn on the TV to see celebrities.

Oh yeah, and even though he was a septuagenarian, Ron Ely still had a rockin' body and handsome face. I would have done him in a heartbeat. But, sadly, he appears to be totally straight…

Rest assured naive waif @R12, there are plenty of MAGA's and Deplorables rejoicing over the death of anti-Trump "nigger" Elijah Cummings and claiming this was God's punishment for going against god/man Trump.

I thought Ron Ely was long dead. The link says he played Tarzan in the 60s. Wasn't it 30s and 40s?

Ok I'm thinking of Johnny Weissmuller. Ron Ely is a poor man's JW.

by Anonymousreply 21October 17, 2019 3:27 PM

I know a family in which the son stabbed his father to death in a moment of rage. He is severely mentally ill and is now in a state hospital for the criminally insane and will likely never be released. Even with a lot of money it's difficult for a family to deal with a mentally ill family member. The family I know broke up and scattered, the mother remains a fragile mess. My sympathy goes to the survivors in Ron Ely's family.

Might as well fight fire with fire. Turning the other cheek, as you suggest, only makes the Deplorables feel empowered and causes them to think Libtards are weak and stupid.

Oh shit this is sad. Getting old is terrifying:

When the dispatcher called back, it was answered by an elderly man with a “heavy speech impediment” — with the first deputy to arrive at the scene saying that the actor “can’t even talk” because of apparent disabilities, according to the recordings.

The house is a bit tragic too. Builty in 1979 and it shows. Decent yard size.

It has only been on the market for 28 days. Here's the Zillow listing with photos. No toilet aids to be seen, thankfully.

What happened to Cameron Ely? Quarterback at Philips Exeter Academy where he graduated with a 4.0 average. Member of Harvard class of 2012 where he also played football. At the time of the murder he was living with his parents and working as a security guard. Seems a bit baffling. Was he suffering from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy --CTE--from football/concussions? Or was he "merely" psychotic?

by Anonymousreply 48October 18, 2019 5:57 PM

That’s not a bad guess, r48. Drugs, too. Or some kind of schizophrenia.

The photos of the house make me sad. It’s such an old-people house.

First, would anyone comment how new threads pop up on my account with dozens of hundreds of comments already on them?

I'll make clear that any serious act of violence against any human being is wrong except in legitimate self-defense.

However, what do you believe shall occur when a man who was traumatized as a youth and may have an undiagnosed mental disorder is repeatedly exposed to abuse by one or two parents who are President Trump supporters? Any good psychoanalyst or psychiatrist can hypothesize a potential outcome.

Anyone who cannot separate emotions from objectivity is doomed to a prison I can't describe.

R54, where's the evidence he was abused?

by Anonymousreply 55December 13, 2019 3:23 PM

Ron did it and blamed his kid who was shot by the cops, who covered it up.

Now he conveniently has dementia which makes everyone think he's innocent

But he's guilty and he's a homophobe., who petitioned Fox to fire Clifton Webb
