i know right! he seemed so sweet in his GH solo video! I don't condone murder or violence at all but there's gotta be something more to the story that we don't know. I read that he had a hearing on Jan. 27 but can't find any more info as far his sentencing.
We never know more about the story when it comes to sensationalized news media. It presents the side that people want to read/hear; the side that will generate town gossip the best.
Shouts, bickers and threat of "breaking up" doesn't fully answer the question.
What were the underlying, true reasons why he shot her to begin with? What were the events and psychological factors that developed over time to have lead up to this voluntary/unvoluntary decision? Was the girl culpable in something that we didn't forsee? Something that we'll never find out because her dirty secret died with her? Was he really trying to save her?
Just a reminder: news is 10% truth, 90% tabloid.
I'm not making an excuse for murder. Just pointing out that, in rough agreement with hu_gar, that we don't know everything that's going on.
Possibly, but reading it I think the comment more so implies/shows that their circle of family/friends had heard he was bad news from her (most likely leading up to and during breaking up with him) not necessarily that she publicly exposed him on the internet?
And then possible motivation was that he could not handle that she had moved on from him/didn’t want to be with him and that’s why he attacked the new boyfriend first. When the police didn’t book him for that assault (which they should/could have according to the comment) that’s when it escalated into the shooting. To say if it was a “you hurt me so I’m going to hurt you” or “if I can’t have you no one can” type situation who knows, all I do know is I hope her family gets justice for her
Be careful hanging on the every word of a news article.
Let me tell you a little non-fictional testimony. There was once a gay man, RGHRGH, who had a physically violent, emotionally/mentally abusive older sister; who was the spoiled princess brat of the family. Never could she do wrong in the eyes of their father, who was the same kind of hot-headed bully; the same kind of violent idiot.
This older sister had virulently put her hands on her little brother more times in a year than a sumo wrestler had done in during one year of matches; all to subdue him to do things in the way she wants it done. She had hunted down little dweebish things that the brother hid from her, knowing that she destroy it like it was sport. She had angrily attempted to force him to take off his shirt at a public pool because he's "a boy", despite knowing how uncomfortable he feels doing it. She had walked in on him changing (intentionally) and commented in a rash manner about his changing habits, appearance and style. She had demanded that, when he got done using the bathroom, she be let in to see his shit in the toilet bowl.
And, those were just a few of the vile, criminal, sexually-offensive acts of aggression that she had regularly performed.
What was the father's excuse for her doing this? She loved her little brother and just wanted to teach him to be good. Yeah, okay. So she got
a little too rough with him, and she shouldn't have. It was wrong. Blah-die-blah. But, she had his best interest at heart.
(Father's logicality: Just because the public thinks acts likes hers are reprehensible doesn't mean that they are; when, between just the sister and brother (away from public eyes), her ultimate meaning was to making him good. After all, the public doesn't know the brother like the sister knows him.)
...
When my father shares about his star princess daughter and his troubled son, obviously, he presented my sister as being the loving all-successful daughter who loved her younger brother; and me as the troubled failure of whom "he still loves". They never learned what was behind my social awkwardness and academic/social struggles. All they saw was a troubled son who the father "loves anyways"... because that's the way the loudmouth tabloid (my father) presented the story.
See? People don't know the whole story. They only know what the news article tells them, and it's always presented in a way that would favor a bias.
As a survivor of abuse, I live on today to make the best of life, despite the numerous psychological scars that I have suffered. I put up with this for more than 2 decades.
It's because of my life's story that has made me more than sensitive to the articles I read. Just like you don't know everything that I had suffered in the hands of my familial tormenters, you don't know that Emmett Metzger (aka Dutch Weaver) is an all-to-nothing murderer who "deserves to rot in jail".
Just realize that there's more to the story than what meets the surface.
Gurl wtf is wrong with men
I think you can definitely be a little bit more honest and integrous than that.
