#13  If it wasn't a gun, it would have been whatever object was closest--or in many cases his hands. It is the mentality/morality of the abuser; not the object he uses.

#12   It has been said before and it is getting said again... no gun, no dead body...

Private ownership of guns is banned in Venezuela, which has gone from 4000 murders a year to 20,000 murders per year under the administration that banned them.

#11  Of course she didn't deserve that, CA.

I just wish she'd split at the first sign of abuse. I don't understand staying with a man who's abusive (whether or not that abuse is physical). :-(

#10  Yes, I hear you, but I doubt she deserved having several bullets fired into her face.

#8  Barbara - Yes it's tragic if she missed the warning signs. Violence in a personal relationship is never acceptable - but sadly still too common.

#6  Sorry for the deaths of both women, BUT I doubt these bastards were sweet, loving, respectful men all their lives until they suddenly and unexpectedly cracked and precipitated these murders.

You just know these murders were built up to. Why do women put up with this kind of crap?

Some guy hits me, he'd better make his first shot his best one, 'cuz he'll NEVER get a second chance. >:-(

#3  Feb. 14th is not supposed to be a bad day for girlfriends. Nollywood actress also go snuffed by her boyfriend.
