Black on black crime, so it won’t really be a huge story.

I was wondering why I could not find it as a lead story on my regular newspaper pages.

Made even sadder by the fact that the gunman surrendered peacefully.

I have to wonder if the mom had started up a relationship with her killer again then broke it off. Not victim blaming here but I notice that is often a pattern with these type of murders. The evil sick animals like this killer just will not accept rejection. Too bad she did not truly appreciate what she was dealing with.

The system obviously knew what he was capable of, too bad it failed this woman and her children.

Those black dives don’t matter because there is no money in it for the race pimps.

Funny how we didn’t have near the gun crime before a Communist president who’s biggest donor is a major funder of several anti-gun activist organizations occupied the WH.

Possibly so, yes. Of course, he may have interpreted her actions according to his own selfish, violent mind set - quite at odds with reality.

It is not victim blaming to look at the background to a crime and consider the various factors. No one but him is to blame.

Well, this is definitely a crime of passion. Crimes of passion, the killer is completely enraged and really gets into the killing and want their victims DEAD. Especially stabbings, when the victims are stabbed over 100 times.

From what I read elsewhere not at all, this guy was a nut who had a history of threatening her and other women, long criminal history.

Surprising how gun laws didn't stop him from getting a gun, I know we need more gun laws! That'll show them criminals! /sarc

There is no doubt he should have been in prison.

Who goes around with eight pairs of handcuffs? That sounds like premeditation, not a crime of passion.
