Well, you don't have kids, so you can't relate.
The only thing that's pathetic is that these stories don't *always* generate this much news. Why shouldn't we care? Pathetic is tuning it out imo.
We should care, the point is that the caring is not making a media event out of a select few.
That's my point

This is probably true.

No, what's pathetic is that we have any of these types of stories in the first case.
If you're upset that this story is being covered, y'all must be going nuclear over the Brittany Spears nonsense.

My point in saying you'd kill him first was that I'm sure you'd have a strong reaction to a boyfriend slapping your daughter
As to this case, there's plenty of evidence that they had a violent relationship. This wasn't a random guy who killed her. This was her choice of boyfriends. Very poor judgment on her part and she paid for it with her life
There is a teachable moment in all of this:
https://www.kfvs12.com/2021/09/23/he...rian-laundrie/She encouraged anyone in a relationship to look for the warning signs in the beginning of dating.
“Maybe commenting on how you dress, commenting on the friends you have, starting to control the activities that you do,” she said.
If you’re a bystander of friend of someone in an abusive relationship, she encouraged you to support the victim.
“Don’t give them ultimatums that if they don’t leave the person, I won’t talk to you anymore, I’ll cut you off financially, that’s already happening to them by the person that they’re in this relationship with that’s perpetrating violence on them,” she said.
Stephens is hopeful Petito’s case can be an eye opener for anyone who is in a similar situation.
It's not "victim blaming". It's a warning to others that may have also made a bad choice in boyfriends: Get out or you may pay the price that Gabby did.
Wow. I have no words. Well, other than this is block number four. I have no idea why anyone would ever look at another post from this guy.

I understand my posts are rarely popular around here. I have no problem with anyone blocking me. Doesn't bother me in the least
OldFashionedRed (09-29-2021)
I assure you the guy has blocked more than 'four' people. And, don't worry about it. There are posters here who all they do is criticize other posters and play speech police. It's wrong.
Listen, my friend. There is nothing you could ever say that would make me publicly reflect on the content of your statements so long as I can pretend to be your friend to antagonize my perceived message board enemies. What you said doesn't bother me and I stand with you.
Nope, you can't assure anything, and there are exactly four. I don't police speech at all, but I don't have to read ignorance about how this girl had a hand in her own murder.
