Sad or demented?

[ConservativeMind]

Yes.

[vivenne]

All of the above.

If that is the real case I get it. These women or men left behind in their old age grieving and helpless. It’s really very sad.

Just because someone says something is their motive, it does not mean it is necessarily the real reason.

Did he ask her first if she minded being left behind? What an awful thing to do.

[Theophilus]

Sad and demented as if may seem, we husbands all need to learn to leave our wives alone, and someday forever. Though we certainly hope to meet again on better but different terms.

telling them that he “is dying and did not want to leave his wife alone,” according to an arrest report, which did not detail if the suspect had a terminal illness or was referring to his age.

Probably had a girlfriend.

“I‘ve been at the sheriff’s office for five and a half years and I’ve never seen anything like this,” Zach Moore, a sheriff’s office spokesperson, told local outlet WCJB.

might be a first for all of us.

How sweet. 🥰

There are two reasons we do anything, the good reason and the real reason. We will likely never know the real reason here.

Say what you will about this old codger, you have to be pretty spry to go around trying to murder folks at 93.

“Did he ask her first if she minded being left behind?” My first thought too. Maybe she’s in terrible health herself, or demented, and he truly thought it was the kindest thing to do.

[KrisKrinkle]

Or he found out she had a boyfriend.

Darn. I thought this would be from The Villages, but it’s from Oak Run, a retirement community 10 miles from me. They have black bears roaming the streets after dark....

NO....they have their kids and grandkids and great grandkids.

Euthanasia is no better than abortion.

” ...according to an arrest report, which did not detail if the suspect had a terminal illness or was referring to his age.”

Or ... a much younger girl friend.
