      Your god isn’t doing a good job of controlling his creations. After all it is gods will and he is in control. Not!

        This is such an ignorant comment. God does not "control" anyone, we all have free will to make decisions, be it for good or evil.

    You are so attractive and have so much going on for you, why throw it all away? If she cheat, cheat back. If you cant settle, separate. Its 2024. They have made everything available at our finger tips.

      A guys who carrys and illegal gun on him and is willing to shoot and possibly kill an unarmed cheating woman is attractive?

      Y'all watching face and jewelry but not morals, behaviour, upbringing or attitude

      Says a lot about what our females are attracted to in this country. No wonder all the young men chasing that life

      Oh Boi.

      Don't feel sorry for you guys at all

        @@thisguy:

        No, we’re not looking at jewelry etc to say he’s handsome! Anyone looking at his face would say he’s handsome indeed. Why do you take issue with that? Would his physical appearance be different without his jewelry to the point that he won’t be considered handsome?
        So, you’re just not as handsome hence your comment. Probably have a face only a mother could love. So go sit down!!

          If a man is attractive but is immoral, abusive, unfaithful ,childish, ignorant, overly aggressive etc that should make him less appealing/attractive to a decent woman with she head on.

          Y'all simply don't learn

    Brothers dont be like this guy. I pray god watch over him. I pray she have a speedy recovery so she can rinse and repeat .Please just focus on yourself. These MODERN women dont have a thing to offer you except whats between their legs and stress. Dont loose or destroy your life for them. Work hard and get your money up. Never trust that they are settled or you will find out the hard way. Good women exist but dont ignore obvious redflags

    Mr Johnny look how you throw your life away over a woman young men out there think before you act if you can't trust her or you not getting along move on , Oldman once told me that if your teeth which you born with leave you and you still alive why stress over a woman who leaves. Guys it will hurt I know especially if there is a child involved and feel like you put in so much time, but physically hurting someone is not the way. Move on

    This young man did not calculate the future cost of his action, decision or choice. The courts will decide that in due course. Sad all over.

    I see people like to condone domestic abuse, especially when 'children of the soil' are the criminals.
    The whole issue is, some men/women cant take what they dish out. She didn't shoot him when he was community property, and making outside babies.
    Shame on all of you!!!

    As I see it this is a victory because that lady would have been ruined/killed by him one way or another eventually. No one died and this idiot has no access to a gun anymore. She should be investigated though.

    I wonder when he got it if he said to his pals that it was for self defense. Now you see what was really in his heart.
