Wow. It’s hard to understand why someone would care about the affections of another and yet be willing to murder that person that was the object of your concern.
52 dating a 24 year old? And he was surprised she cheated!
Cue Chief Wade's standard boilerplate, "We won't tolerate this in the City of Jackson" in 3... 2... 1...
Jackson is a little Detroit
The "If I can't have her, nobody can" syndrome.
Attn 2:20 AM Jackson’s murder rate is well over twice that of Detroit (per capita).
"52 dating a 24 year old? And he was surprised she cheated!"
I'm a bit past 52, but I still have vague memories of a lot of it. Among the crystal-clear ones, however, is that if I had been single, horny, and on about a bottle dicky pills, it would have been a singularly rare 24 year-old gal that I would have wanted to even chat with, much less marry. In my teens, 20s, or even early 30s, sure. At 52? Nope. Plead total and complete insanity. I'd believe him.
Murder is Murder! No matter who you kill. Fry his Hide!
My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this most difficult time. Horrific tragedy 😢, so sad.
