Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Thr article leaves out the detail, but this is the guy who charged into a bathroom and threatened to kill Tapp at a halloween party after someone told him he offered his step daughter drugs. The party was hosted by an F1 driver apprently, but that may be speculation.
There was then a bang and a scuffle sound. Rodimer apprently slammed Tapps head into a table and was chocking him out until his wife intervened. After that, the murderer left. Tapp was then laid out on a bed for hours with party goers tending to him, including Rodimers wife. Someone finally called the paramedics, and he died in the following days.
Rodimers wife texted rodimer that night that no one should have to witness their husband kill a man in front of them and then filed for divorce soon afterwards.
Well it's gonna be hard for him to find a way out of this one.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A retired professional wrestler and former congressional candidate in Nevada and Texas has been indicted on a murder charge in the death of an Idaho man who suffered a head injury during a Halloween Party at a Las Vegas Strip hotel.
Daniel Rodimer, 45, who now lives in Texas, is expected to appear before a Nevada judge May 8 following his indictment Friday in the death of Christopher Tapp.
His defense attorneys, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld, said Friday that Rodimer “maintains his complete innocence and looks forward to his day in court.”
Tapp, 47, of Idaho Falls, was injured Oct. 29 at the Resorts World hotel and taken to a hospital, where he died several days later, police said.
Investigators initially believed Tapp had been fatally injured in a fall, but they later learned that he had been in an argument with Rodimer.
Rodimer, a Republican who lost bids for Congress in Nevada in 2020 and in Texas in 2021, surrendered to Las Vegas police for his arrest March 6 and remains free on a $200,000 bail.
The original article contains 213 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 15%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Why is he out on bail after a violent murder? Could his color and privilege play a part in his release?
Probably his connections.
