why are these dregs to society even allowed to walk amungst us?/?
Surely between the golf course and Ames PD they knew about this homeless camp.....Send them along their way...aboslutely no contribution to society by these people....its time for more tough love and not coddling to the same ole mental health excuse.....frustrated!!!!

Like what?

This sad story has even hit the BBC - quite prominently on the website:

I normally am a pretty stoic guy. This whole story has really given me a pit in my stomach though. All these stories from Jaime to her golfing coach has torn me up. We lost an amazing member in our cyclone family.

I don't like when these things are made a bigger deal because who the victim is. It makes me feel guilty for other families who go through this.

Now, since I said that, I don't think people understand just where Celia had been or where she was headed. Womens golf is really overlooked so it's understandable but she was a pretty big deal, especially in Europe. Annika Sorenstam also had a picture with her I think after she won the Am over there. I know it shouldn't have any more of an effect on a person but it really does, at least for me. Maybe because I follow golf more than most. It's just so senseless.

What struck me more was not how big of a deal she was, but how good of a person she seemed to be from all the stories. Her coach said she gave flowers to teammates on valentines day so no one would feel lonely on that day, wrote daily encouraging words to teammates. I just respect nice people in general and its sad we had to lose one of them.

I think a lot of it has to do with the visibility and connection you have with the victim. As Iowa State alumni and fans it gives us a line to her. It’s along the same line with Mollie Tibbetts. It hurts us because she was an Iowan like most of us(or me a new Iowan.)

This really, really, really has affected me beyond the news cycles that are sure to fade. I am sad and extremely disgusted with that evil waste that passes for a human being. That's all I'll write.

Late to the party, but couldn't stop reading this thread and wanted to wait until I got to the end. Such a sad story that has left a lump in my throat since I heard about it this morning. Tears have been shed in our household for a young woman we have never met in person, but she was a member of the Cyclone family. I will certainly make a point to get into JTS early on Saturday to pay tribute to Celia and her loved ones.

How did this loser end up in Ames? I don't get it. You figure maybe Des Moines or a larger city..

I think I saw something that said he had been in halfway houses in Ames after one of his releases from prison.

I know the golf teams don't want to play Coldwater again; does anyone? Sad as well.

Prison? I just saw 10 different paroles.

Personal attacks aside. Naivety aside.

Without question, had Celia known that (some small amount of) vigilance was required, on that golf course at that moment, she would be alive today. No, she did not know. Had she known, she would have been watchful. She would have used all her earthly power and weapons at hand. To SCREAM, TO RUN, To FOIL her attacker.

Imagine being this stupid.

Imagine being this stupid.

For their sake Im just assuming they have PTSD from the hurricane.

 

[Gossamer]

this could have been your daughter, grand daughter or your niece or your best friend's wife, etc...anyone who puts any shred of responsibility on ANYONE other than the garbage who did it is a fool.

Which is really too bad in-and-of-itself. I know golf courses are struggling right now, and you'd hate to see them struggle financially over something that was out of their hands. But I totally agree-- I'm not sure I'd have any desire to play that course after what happened.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII don't think so. Here is a small sample of why not when the question was put forth why the Tibbets case was such a big deal............

I have a question I'm just going to ask straight-up, but I don't intend for it to be insensitive: why exactly was this case such a big deal?

Attractive young female. College student. There is plenty of precedent. National news media. "attractive' sells. I don't like it, but there it is.

White girl. That's it.

Pretty much. All-American college girl from a cozy little Iowa town. The media loves this stuff.

They love it because the white audience loves it.
If Mollie were black or brown, nobody would have heard of the whole thing.

So you see, Mollie wasn't afforded the same luxury. Being a rural, young, attractive, white All-American girl from a cozy little town she had to carry the cross of white privilege to her grave. Fortunately, being from Spain, this young lady will not.

Not to take away from the whole situation, which is horrible, but it is really too bad for Coldwater because it is actually a very nice course and I like golfing there. Unfortunately I’m afraid they’re going to lose a lot of business from this.

Also, I don’t know who would want to park there for football games after this

So many levels of sadness on this...My thoughts and prayers are with the Athletic Department, players, and most importantly the family...
