Dang defective exhaust pipes.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Happy wife, happy life!

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

We’ve all been there...

[windcliff]

How hard could it have been to buy her gift? Even Ralph Kramden bought his wife a gift.

[NFHale]

Guess Massachusetts will have to ban Knives now.

Register them, then confiscate them, all in the name of Public Safety...

THAT’LL work...

[Brandonmark]

...his wife was upset with him because he did not buy her a Christmas gift...

I guess he won't make that mistake again!

[AZLiberty]

Sadly, this story reminded me of that old O. Henry story, "The Gift of the Magi".

This one turned out a lot worse.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

And gun crime is down!

[TigersEye]

Prosecutors say he then drove to Waltham police headquarters, walked in with a knife in his hand and yelled out to officers, "Shoot me. I have nothing to live for! I just killed my wife," reports the station.

Police reportedly used a beanbag gun to subdue him and then arrested him.

Durned cops! They never kill you when you want them to. /s

[Irenic]

I didn’t get a Christmas gift from my husband, we don’t buy each other gifts for Christmas. We buy for others but not each other.

[Seruzawa]

Anti-depressants or anti-psychotics. As always.

[the OlLine Rebel]

“over a Christmas gift”

No, it was the LACK of gift. Not “a” gift.

Actually, this guy at least showed some remorse.

[InvisibleChurch]

Why doesn’t CBS report any news about corruption in the government?

[knarf]

eye ties generally don’t go that kind of nuts

[moovova]

As Paul Harvey would say...

“Now you know the Resto the story.”

[tumblindice]

Me and Julio, down in the jail yard.

[zeestephen]

I will guess there is an unindicted co-conspirator....

Alcohol consumption.

[Former Proud Canadian]

In response to his wife being upset Julio strangled and then stabbed his wife to death. Distraught he stuffed a towel into his car's exhaust pipe and (tried to) start(ed) it.

Some questions.

Was alcohol involved?

Did he buy her something last year? What was her reaction?

Was this the first incident of domestic violence?

Was Julio's lack of impulse control on display before this incident?

Was Julio able to start his car with the exhaust blocked?

Does Julio have a measureable IQ?

[Caipirabob]

Wow. One time I had a woman who always made a point of “not needing material things to be happy” but would flip out if she felt a gift was inadequate. I mean, FLIP OUT violently. That was before I started making money, which happened about 3 months after we went our different directions. : ) So glad that situation is decades behind me. Tragic that this incident ended that way.

[Shimmer1]

Wow, I didn’t receive anything and it never occurred to me to murder anyone.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Looks like he could have gotten away with reaching into the refrigerator.
