Wow that's a little scary

It's more surreal than scary. This guy's a clown but I don't think we ever thought he'd do something this stupid.

I know the feeling. In my hometown we have almost no violent crime and exactly two cops. It was one of the cops who killed his wife.

Yikes! (((((Hugs)))) This is scary.

This guy's actions, as they've become revealed, lead me to have less fear of him actually - he's just done one stupid thing after another. It might be foolish of me, but I feel more contempt than fear.

How horrifying and scary!

elasg April 13 2015, 03:32:30 UTC

I haven't really felt scared - just baffled. And now with all the latest details, I'm just shaking my head over how stupid this guy was. I feel lots more contempt than fear. She was no prize, (three kids, three baby daddys) but nothing she could have done was worth killing her over. And now three kids have no mom.

Aiee. I'm sorry that happened so close to home.

elasg April 13 2015, 03:36:18 UTC

Yeah, that's it exactly! It's so close to home and that's what makes me feel odd about it. I'm not scared (OK, nothing much scares me) but you don't think of people you know as being the type to kill their wife and dump her body. That's something that happens in other people's towns.

Or big cities. Yeah.

I lived in a town of approximately 100 people in Florida. Not only that, it was a psychic community. One of the psychics was murdered in his house (less than a mile from my place, but everything was less than a mile from anywhere else, the town was so small).

It took about 20 days, but the murderers (a pair of young men) were caught up north, in his car, and convicted.

What was strange was how little there was regarding this locally. I mean, even the gossip at the post office (the local hangout) was directed toward other things.

That is very, very eerie and unsettling.

*wraps you in hugs*

elasg April 13 2015, 03:40:30 UTC

Eerie and unsettling are good terms for it. I'm not really scared - this guy's actions were just so stupid I can't feel afraid of him - but I feel a little betrayed and a little angry that this piece of shit did something like that in this town. It changes the place.
