An exchange regarding the atheist-feminist shooter guy over at FA:

I have a $10 nug here that says the vic refused his advances at least once, and that he has a history of violence.
a reasonable person (23 upvotes):
Not taking that bet. Having defended too many cases like this, you have no clue until you see what the cops dig up. For all we know, she was abusive and he fired in self-defense. Or one caught the other embezzling funds. Or an argument broke out over the NBA playoffs and it got violent. Or the guy was having a bad reaction to prescription medication, was hallucinating, and shot the woman thinking she was a monster.
I defended all of those. The results were Guilty, Guilty of Manslaughter (plea deal), Not Guilty, Guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter (plea deal with no prison time, The guy shot his own sister who was coming to check on him. He was already in end stage cancer, and prison was deemed to be cruel in this case.)
So right now, all we have is a dead body and a suspect under arrest.
dumb cat again (still at 0):
And yet there's a demonstrable pattern of DOCUMENTED violent histories for ALL men who go out and kill women.
The cops won't "dig up" anything -- in fact, they'll be burying the truth because this man is one of their own, and can therefore do no wrong.
Pull you head out of your ass, and get a good look at reality.
I guarandamntee that a history of violence and instability WILL come out.
