The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that Albert DeMagnus, the 74-year old founder and CEO of Computer Management Services, Inc. was stabbed to death during a home invasion.
When Deputies responded to the home at approximately 2:30 a.m., they found DeMangus with a stab wound. He was taken to Piedmont Fayette Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The homeowner’s wife told authorities three men demanded cash and jewelry before taking the victim’s gray Lexus and leaving the scene. That’s when she called 911.
Deputies spotted the Lexus near the scene of the home invasion, Babb said. The stolen car crashed in the area of Jimmie Mayfield Boulevard and Bradley Drive and two men ran, he said. Deputies and Fayetteville police officers found located both men.
Jeffrey Lee Wallace, 22, of Atlanta, and Kavion Wyzeenski Tookes, 21, of Decatur, were both arrested and being held Friday night at the Fayette County jail.
One suspect remains at large.
DeMagnus' firm, Computer Management Services, Inc. (CMS) is an Information Technology (IT) augmentation firm that provides IT services to Fortune 500 Companies, the Federal Government, and State and Local Agencies.

Thanks. At least that's something that should cut my appetite to understand you (all): in a chaotic system, explanations aren't possible (if there's a pattern at all, only statistics may help).
Pedantic, I know, but... motivation implies purpose and drive implies destination.
Perhaps "frenzy and amok" fit better your description.

Oh, no... We have a purpose and drive. We have it in spades. However, we are all running in different directions. It's like a mad house full of meth addicts. Mix the movie, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest with the movie Spun, throw in some Drug Store Cowboy and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - and that's the more sane half. Like 30% of us are on some sort of mental health related prescription. We do more drugs, legal and illegal, than the rest of the world - in some case, more than the rest of the world combined.
Yeah... And we drink quite a bit, but we don't hold that record. Also, we have guns and income disparity. We have glorified gang culture. We have crazy religious bastards. We have fucking televangelists that are insanely wealthy. We have Trump as our president. Also, we have a huge fucking military. We are kinda idiots and certainly not rational.

You don't speak for anyone in the US but yourself.
And you don't do a very good job of doing that.
I KNEW you were stoned when I read the bullshit you wrote earlier.
If you think the US is such a fucked up place, get the fuck out, we don't need you. I expect your ex-wife could tell us a lot of stories about your intoxicated ravings and your propensity to behave violently when you think you can get away wth it. No wonder she left you.

Nice try. Unlike you, I can leave. Unlike you, I am welcomed elsewhere.
Your silly biases are also wrong. I am never violent with her and it was I who filed for divorce. Sheesh. Do you get all your views from tabloids?
I would also like to remind the viewing audience that, unlike you, I actually served this country. You're welcome.

You don't know a damned thing about me, you stupid sack of shit.
But I know something about you. I know you have something wrong with you that makes you think it is ok to insult your fellow Americans, when you don't
even know 99.9% of the American public, so you cannot speak with authority about what Americans are or are not.
You're just a miserable malcontent dope smoker living in the woods, and you're bitter because you're alone. The truth hurts, doesn't it, asshole.

You poor, poor AC. I feel sorry for you. Is there something I can do to make you feel better about yourself?
I'll try - you can take from this what you want.
I have a lovely girlfriend, a wonderful group of friends, and a large variety of activities that keep me engaged and happy.
And yes, of course I can insult my fellow citizens. It's absolutely acceptable to do so - in fact, I have a right to do so. You appear to be in the 70% that I quoted. You are rapidly working your way to the 30% that I quoted. Those are unfortunate places to be but, more often than not, people put themselves into those categories. I don't know why you do so - it's not hard to be reasonably intelligent and to be willing to discuss things in a reasonable tone.
And, unlike you, I've traveled - extensively. I've been in your State - multiple times. There's a very, very small chance that I've never been in your State (there's only one that I've not been to and you don't live there). The rest, I've been to more than once - and spent some time there, in the vast majority of them. I may even know your State better than you do.
So, yes... Yes, I know Americans. They're lovely people, they're just not that bright and not that sane. Some are a combination of both.
But, if there's something reasonable that I can do to help you be happy with yourself, you let me know. Okay?
