Deadly Jealousy
Tonight, I heard that a young man that I used to work with was arrested for murder today. Last night, he killed a man walking along the road, shooting him eight times.
The reason?
Yep. You guessed it. Jealousy. How surprising. Yawn.
The woman he'd been living with had broken up with him for beating her up and had gone on, with a new man in her life. Apparently he was unable to move on to someone new, because he'd been stalking his ex's new man. Last night, when the other man was walking home from work, the spurned lover drove by and emptied his rage by means of a pistol into his ex's current lover.
This kind of behavior baffles me and is totally foreign to my nature. If a woman doesn't want me any longer, I may not like it, but I always know there are plenty of fish in the sea, and I quickly move on to the next one. This is certainly nothing to throw one's entire life away over.
I'd worked with the woman as well. It's a very good thing that I did not find her attractive because that could have been my ass lying in the ditch on the side of the road.
This is just awful news. I feel so bad for the woman involved who's having
to go through all this because of someone being jealous. I've never
understood why people let jealousy get so out of control. All I can say is
Thank God you didn't have anything to do with her...
Wow. This is really sad. Obviously this guy had other issues. No one
really does this out of jealousy alone or it would happen far more often.
I agree with Paula that other issues had to have been involved with the
shooting. I would guess his ego couldn't handle the rejection among other
things. I would guess he also felt humiliated that she found someone else
so quickly.
Wow, that's pretty f***ed up. It's not even as though it was the other
guy's fault or that she was cheating on him. He was a jerk, she left him,
and this other guy gets killed over it.
You guys are right. Obviously some "mental instability" was involved here.
Very sad story. I am also glad you never got involved with her. I don't
believe in the existence of unrequited love. If it's not mutual it's not
love. Although I remember feeling differently when I was younger, I have no
interest in anyone who does not want me. I'm sorry this happened, W.
Very scary W. Honey came home with the story of a woman who worked for his
company, different city. She broke up with a boyfriend, who then chased
her through the parking lot at work, into a restaurant next door, and shot
her to death before killing himself. She was mid fourties, he was mid
fifties. So we aren't talking inexperienced kid jealousy. This is over
the line mental illness. Look at all the anti stalking laws in the last 20
years.
Yes, technically it could have been you. What a scary thought!
Yes this is very freighting, yet sadly I can almost relate. I was married
for 15 years to a wonderful woman who I still love although we are
divorced. You see I couldn't get a grip on my emotions after she told me
about an affair she had early in our relationship, one she had denied
angrily many times accusing me of being mentally unstable and paranoid. I
was never violent, I simply was mad all the time, became extremely jealous
and began drinking to excess. She has recently started dating someone and
it absolutely crushes me inside.
