Yes.
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.
Florida man.....................
Did he ask her first if she minded being left behind? What an awful thing to do.
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.
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.
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....
” ...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.
His wife, who was not identified by police, said he first attempted to kill her two weeks earlier by smothering her with a pillow in bed — telling her then that “he did not want to leave her alone,” according to the arrest report.
She managed to escape and did not report it because she was convinced he would not try to hurt her again.
Then on a “normal” Saturday, Lockner came behind his wife as she watched TV from a chair and pulled a rope around her neck — tugging hard enough “to the point she felt like her blood circulation was being cut off,” according to the police report.
His wife fought back and was able to get her hands between the rope and her neck and run into the patio, the report said.
She called 911, during which Lockner allegedly could be heard in the background saying, “You can die with me.”
Police found Lockner’s wife crying with bruises around her neck and blood pouring from her arm. Lockner was on the phone in another room. He later admitted that he was “trying to kill” his wife, the report said.
“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.
“What we do know is that we’re very fortunate that this victim was able to fight him off and preserve her own life and that she’s still here with us,” he added.
Lockner is charged with two counts of first-degree attempted homicide. He is scheduled to appear in court on November 26, jail records show.
First time is happenstance.
Second time is coincidence.
Third time is enemy action.
Florida Man is an Internet meme first popularized in 2013, referring to an alleged prevalence of people performing irrational or maniacal actions in the U.S. state of Florida. Internet users typically submit links to news stories and articles about unusual or strange crimes and other events occurring in Florida, with stories’ headlines often beginning with “Florida Man ...” followed by the main event of the story. Because of the way news headlines are typically written, they can be creatively interpreted as implying that the subjects of the articles are all a single individual known as “Florida Man”.
The Miami New Times claimed that freedom of information laws in Florida make it easier for journalists to acquire information about arrests from the police than in other states and that this is responsible for a large number of news articles. A CNN article on the meme also suggested that the breadth of reports of bizarre activities is due to a confluence of factors, including public records laws giving journalists fast and easy access to police reports, the relatively high population of the state, its highly variable weather, and gaps in mental health funding.
That’s a very “Old Europe” way of thinking, where the Vikings would bury the living Widow with her dead husband, the presumption being, her life was only in servitude of her man. India used to have something similar, until The English sort of put an end to the tradition of funeral pyres.
It still happens in remote areas
