No it's not. There is never any circumstances in which this can be explained.

Another person's slate isn't cleaned by the fact that they got murdered. Did he have any right to do it? Obviously not. I'm not trying to say that he had justifiable reasoning or anything of the sort, but it's like people forget that it takes two for this situation to occur in the first place. They're both guilty for not doing what was necessary to fix their relationship in the first place. That, or just end the relationship. This was avoidable, and two people are accountable for not avoiding it.

He murdered her. He didn't hit or or something. There is nothing she could have been guilty of that constituted being murder, outside of murdering someone close to him.

I said that she paid much more than what her wrongdoings warranted, but for that parentless child, and the families and friends affected, both him and her are responsible. For her death? He pulled the trigger, and that's black and white, but the overall situation? That's a two way street. It is, whether people like it or not.

Only one responsible for the child is Belcher for murdering the mother as well as himself. Don't care what the circumstances were leading up to it.

Yeah well, I do, because they were the catalyst for the murder suicide in the first place. This isn't some random dude just up and deciding to off his girlfriend and then himself. It's a situation that escalated over time and finally reached its horrific crescendo, and both are responsible for that escalation. He's responsible for her death, but past that they're both guilty for not figuring out the right thing for both their child and themselves.

I don't really like that you initially thought I was trying to justify his actions, but I may have worded it poorly, and I'll take responsibility for that, but there is no way that you can't understand the point I'm making. I personally think it's the point that's developed by all of the thoughts we try to suppress in these kinds of situations because they horrify us.

i cant go too deep in this. what he did was wrong but we dont know both sides, we dont know how he was in the head, and this was not football related.

either way its sad. honestly, its kind if classless to bash him too. its just a really sad situation.
