Short story:
Buddy’s marriage on the rocks, they decide to split up, they’re coming around to the matter of CUSTODY:
Buddy goes over to wife’s house to pick up the kids at the appointed hour. No answer to the doorbell, that’s weird. And sirens in the distance.
Ding dong, ding dong, still no answer, WEIRD..! Sirens getting louder.
Clatter, clatter..! What’s that..? Oh, I see an item has been dropped onto the porch near the front door from a 2nd story window. Hmmm, what is it..?
He picks it up: A KNIFE..!
Police cruiser power-slides around corner, oh my, he’s coming up onto the FRONT LAWN OF THIS HOUSE..! What a mistake..!
No mistake! She’d called and told the cops he was threatening to break in and KILL HER and he HAS A KNIFE..!
Out come their pistols and most of the spectating neighbors, he’s arrested, and yes, they did make it stick and she got FULL CUSTODY..!
GAME, SET, MATCH, just like that.
Nice, eh..?
If it happened to my SWEET PEACH BUDDY, it can happen to ANYONE, the guy never hurt a fly in his whole life, prolly.
What a psychopath he married.
What a shame he was set up like that.
I’m sorry to hear that.
Your buddy, sorry to say, was an idiot. If your marriage is “on the rocks” and you attend to things like that without a witness or go-pro filming it your going to pay the stupid tax.
Sooooooo sad. I’m sorry for your friend. Makes me embarrassed to be a woman when I hear this. We aren’t all like that.
