Actually sweetnsour, I was responding to the post on the 2nd page by neverthinkbutonce. This person seemed to have known the family and situation. The so called “limb” I went out on was not to be mean about a terrible situation, but to provide information to others that may be out there that do not know help is available. If even one person reads my comments, and this story and says that could be me, and then goes on to seek help from Penelope House for domestic violence issues or Wings of Life for drug problems, then great. Maybe that will be one life saved. There are lessons to be learned from everything in life, even amongst the tragedies such as this.

And if this wasn’t related to domestic violence/drug use, then I apologize to the family/ friends-but I do not apologize for making information available that could potentially save someone else.

He’s going to plead insanity.  He called his Mom the other night and said he wanted to see if Angel and Ayden were okay.  When she told him no, that he killed them, he started screaming and she hung up on him.  Her son is devastated about the whole plea and everything!  I had talked to Angel the week before and she said there were small issues, but they were working through them and things were getting better.  Does anybody know if he’s in general population or on suicide watch?  I wish he would have taken himself instead.  I would much rather be consoling my best friend than missing her with all of my being!  And kalia, thanks for sticking up for her before I got to see all of this.  We are all hurting bad enough without the condemnation of people who didn’t even know Angel!

He pleaded not guilty---- I don’t know why for once in his life he could not stand up and be a man and say yes I killed my wife and son.  But I guess that would be asking way too much from a wife beating coward.  I hope the guys in Metro are kicking the crap out of him daily.

IF YOU WOULD HAVE KNOW THIS FAMILY YOU WOULD NEVER THINK ANYTHING IN THE WORLD LIKE THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPEN. THE LOVE ANGEL HAD FOR THIS MAN WS UNREAL NOW FOR HIM TO THIS IS WRONG.  THE OFFICER HE WALKED UP TO SHOULD HAVE GUN HIM DOWN RIGHT THERE.
BOTH OF THESE FAMILY’S ARE HURTING BUT THIS LIES’ ABOUT HER AND THAT BABY NEED TO STOP?????

If this was a long term domestic violence issue, then I feel the blame lies on BOTH. I absolutely DO NOT condone what this guy did, but if there was a history of domestic violence, the woman has an option to leave. There are resources-Penelope House for one. My husband is a police officer, and you would be surprised at the number of domestic violence calls they get, then the “abused” being unwilling to press charges, and go right back to the same situation. No amount of “love” is worth your life or your child’s. And love is not violent and self-serving-it is giving yourself to the other with kindness and respect.

There are also plenty of drug rehab facilities-Wings of Life, etc...IF you are willing to get help.
