And that justifies appropriating this tragedy for your own? Want real talk? That’s immature. If you must know, I deal with PTSD myself. I don’t mean to equate our situations, but you can’t go around acting like yours is the only issue anyone has ever faced. There’s a pattern here, this is the latest example. If you…

Again: If you only bring up the “all people are violent, not just men” thing in situations like this, you don’t give a shit about victims, male or female.

You don’t know shit about me or what I value, dude. So just stop.

There have also been a lot of incidents in which the exboyfriend or ex-husband kills her, and sometimes the kids (if there are kids), but for some reason, balks when it comes time to kill himself. Apparently no hesitation in killing others, but killing himself? Suddenly he has second thoughts.

“Why can’t the OP just say ridiculous things without someone questioning her on it? Won’t these trolls leave our echo chamber alone!!”

Really. What happened to writing bad poetry and then just quietly offing yourself? Or better, writing bad poetry, reading great poetry, and just, you know, not offing yourself or anyone else. What is the sudden attraction of multiple murder/suicide?

Oh, please. You do this all the time. Anyone can click your comment history and see what I’m talking about. You always start with a “just wondering” and when people argue you (often with more civility than you deserve), you reveal yourself to be unwilling to hear anything that doesn’t support whatever fucked up…

Do you mind if I ask some questions? I’m a curious person, especially about people with dramatically different perspectives and experiences?

You can bury your head in the sand all you want, but there’s a pattern of men being violent against women.

Then he will read off the statistics of gun homicides and knife homicides and everyone will laugh at anyone stupid enough to make the comparison.

Obviously enough do that women are entitled to be scared of it. Otherwise this article, and all the others like it, wouldn’t exist.

Ugh, god. A young woman and her friend are murdered by her ex and the trolls don’t skip a fucking beat.

So we’re supposed to go all covert and create a file on a dude before we start dating them? That’s not reality and you know it. Besides, controlling men don’t respond well to being “just friends.”

Yes, dumbass. I am “letting” them control me. That’s how it works.

You get how victim blamey this question is, don’t you?

I’m a student at Geneseo. I didn’t know any of the people involved, but I did live on the same street where it happened. It’s really shaken everyone at the school. Administration has been as kind and helpful as they could possibly be in a situation like this. But I’m angry.

You weren’t asking me, but no, I don’t believe you can.

I’ll never forget when I was dating this man three years ago and one day he proceeded to get strangely aggressive toward me and controlling. I looked him in the eye, tried my best not to look scared and proceeded as normal with cooking, and he backed off of his “weird mood.” But I felt like I escaped something. Then…

Thanks for posting the victims pictures and not the guy who did this.

Suicidal thoughts? Sure, if you only kill yourself. Otherwise, they are called homicidal thoughts. Wish people would stop taking other people out with them. So selfish.
