Reminds me of that Donald Glover stand up routine from over a decade ago: "Guys have tons of crazy ex-girlfriend stories, but women don't have a lot of crazy ex stories. Because if their ex is crazy... they die"

Except that’s not really true.

It’s true women are more likely to be murdered by their partners, but the vast majority of even crazy men don’t kill their partners.

Imagine if they did. There are so many crazy men around that if they were killing their partners like that women wouldn’t only be 20% of homicide victims.

Many women have crazy boyfriend stories.

thanks for letting us know that a joke from a stand up set isn’t 100% accurate. i was very convinced before your comment

Then why mention it at all on a serious news article if it’s mostly BS?

are you new to reddit? you’d be extremely hard-pressed to find any thread with over 100 comments that doesn’t have a single joke, let alone one that is actually relevant to the subject of the post. “fact checking” a joke that is not meant to be taken literally, that no one is taking literally, is just dumb

An armed society is a polite society… or that’s what the lying republicans tell me

I wonder what the other 100 million gun owners would say. Stay ignorant

Considering how whenever I interact with gun owners online they’re always making “jokes” about shooting government officials or people they disagree with politically, probably give him a high five.

I’m not completely anti gun, but the average gun owner is one of the main reasons I’m so anti gun. They’re assholes at best, mass shooters in waiting at worst. Gun culture in the US is wack.

I mean that’s what he is insinuating.

It’s ironic how when I go to the gun range I always run into the best group of people but when a redditor says he met a few gun owners they were the columbine kids….

I think it’s just funny

I think this is the sort of person who would have figured out another way to do it though. I mean it was a standoff, it wasn't exactly impulsive

Standoffs can happen after something impulsive? How are the two related?

And this very case could be an example of that. He shot her while she was in her moving car, which seems more spontaneous than planned. Once he realizes how fucked he is, he panics and it becomes a standoff.

clearly you didn't read the article, because dude shot his wife while she was driving away. how would you think he'd do that with a knife?

One of the longest, deadliest standoffs in my hometown happened after a "model citizen" father flipped his shit when he found out CPS was investigating his son for abuse towards the kids in their foster care.

One phone call giving him the heads up the police were coming and he decided to shoot the first officer that showed up and her partner.

Anyway to site the news story without doxxing yourself?

A standoff seems like the result of an impulsive decision to me. A standoff has no real viable endgame so it's a result of a lack of planning. At least that's how my logic sees it

Cool. Can you tell me how he differs from the 2-3 other guys EVERY DAY who shoot their intimate partner to death?

I suppose they could all find a different way, but guns are what they choose.

Weird how that works.

Almost like it’s way easier to kill someone with a gun.

Especially when they are driving away like this poor woman was.

What part of the article made you think this wasn’t something impulsive? And which part talks about the accused as a person that makes you make the determination that this guy would’ve “found a way” to stop his fleeing wife from driving away without the use of a gun?
