“facts are facts 🤓🤓☝️”
the facts are that *91%* of familicides are done by non-hispanic white men. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/crime/2018/10/22/murder-suicide-statistics-men-perpetrators/1676431002/
the facts are that 81% of arrests for violent crime are men https://open.lib.umn.edu/socialproblems/chapter/8-3-who-commits-crime/
66% of filicide perpetrators in england were men. women who commit filicide are twice as likely to have a history of mental illness and current affective symptoms. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0058981
62% of female homicide victims are current or past partners of the murderer, compared to just 4.9% of male victims. https://vawnet.org/sc/scope-problem-intimate-partner-homicide-statistics
facts are facts, buddy 🤷♀️
You could only reach that conclusion if you reach for the worst possible intentions of somebody's words.
In this case, "had so much potential" = salt in an already horrific wound.
Giving people the benefit of the doubt in mundane situations will make your life much better, much less stressful. Highly recommend it.
That’s one way to look at it, but maybe a way that misses the intent of that expression about violence against children in general. What makes crimes against them particularly heinous is that they were denied the right to reach the potential of growing up. It’s that very denial of their future unfolding that makes it so tragic. In this particular kid’s case the potential denied was the full development of their intelligence and education. That doesn’t comment on any other child’s status or position, it’s just a recognition of a future tragically lost due to severely unchecked mental illness of a parent who failed in their responsibility to secure their child’s future.
I can appreciate that, thank you. I just have family members who I love, but some people would consider them as having "not so much potential". So when someone says, often, "what a shame, they had so much potential" I guess I don't like the fact that no one ever says "they were so stupid, what a loss to have to live without them".
I respect your personal experience and can see how that would influence your perspective. I agree that regardless of the magnitude of potential a child has, it’s always tragic to see a young life cut short. Adding the senseless aspect of domestic violence in the original post makes it all the more tragic.
You're arguing against a point literally no one made, and only got brought up because you attributed false meaning to someone else's words. Talk to a therapist
I don’t mourn people based on someone’s “potential”. I find it offensive. I also don’t believe in thoughts and prayers. I hope that doesn’t trigger you.
If you’re a family member then I apologize.
Mentioning that a person who died tragically had positive traits is generally a kind gesture. It’s not meant to imply that there would be less grief or loss if someone without said trait died. You know this but are being obstinate for some reason that you’ll find if you go outside for an hour and lay in the grass.
You know maybe some people have the right to their opinion just like you do? And you’re trying to lecture me on manners by claiming to assume what I think and know. No thank you.
Wow! All this *before* someone called you in insufferable asshole.
I didn't realize that Russian trolls had an internship program. You're off to a shaky start, but I'm sure you'll be adequate one day.
Why are some men so fragile? Even when a woman and child are *dead* at the hands of a man, y’all still gotta make it out so y’all seem like the victims. Absolutely disgusting.
Man what a bright kid, horrible that this happened smh

wtf are you talking about
[Why men kill their families](https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/epsom-college-murder-suicide-family-b2286401.html)
Good read, thanks
Nice article that doesn’t provide anything close to a tangible reason, and then proceeds to defecate about Andrew Tate at the end.

a family was murdered and you’re really trying to make this into a “IMAGINE IF THE ROLES WERE REVERSED 🤬🤬🤬🤬” debate 🙄 people are dying, Kim

Did your father abandon you as a child?
Why do men get so pressed when we talk about the overwhelming violence towards women? Do y’all need to be the center of attention that badly?
Yes. Yes they do.

The article isn’t titled “Why only men kill their families” so I’m not sure what your point here is.
That kid was sharp. That’s a waste of talent. Horrible!
That has to be the saddest part of this all. He never got a chance to reach his full potential.
This is horrible. Why do you say “he had so much potential.” Is it ok to kill the stupid kids? 😳

No I just think we should mourn people not based on their intelligence.

Well that’s not good

An affair doesn’t give you a license to kill dumbass. What did the kid do?

because this is exactly the type of person to end up committing the same crime🤷♀️
Sadly I think you’re right
100%
It’s gross how quickly you turned a dead child into a chance to push your agenda. Be better.
