Sociology class I took ages ago mentioned a very strong correlation of domestic violence with football team performance. Basically in the state that the winning team belongs to, their violence rates dip, and the team that lost gets a surge of husbands assaulting/murdering their wives.
Humans are really shitty animals.
Don’t blame humans for what football fans do.
Tom Brady is a hero in Massachusetts bud
Mental health in the USA is good.
Definitely a normal country full of well-adjusted people. We can see evidence of that on a daily basis.
This kind of stuff just boggles the mind. I’ve discussed with my american wife how it’s so crazy the volume of insane, violent shit happening in the states compared to the rest of the civilized world and what could the explanation for it be. I’m pretty sure there isn’t such a volume of serial killers anywhere else in the world and almost always the most effed up shit that happens in a somewhat civilized country, it’s the states.
Incident like this in a european country would probably be the most horrific thing in recent history, lawmakers would scramble to do something about it and it would make headlines for a month. In the states it’s just another tuesday afternoon.
As a reminder, the cutoff on psychopathy assessment is 5 points higher in the US than elsewhere. You can literally be considered a psychopath by the same assessment elsewhere in the world and be considered just normal in the US
“How does an argument over a television program end up with a murder, an attempted murder and a suicide?” he said.
BECAUSE HE HAD A GUN ASSHOLE.
No one that fucked up should be allowed to own firearms.
America has a mental health crisis
America has a gun crisis
Not really. Plenty of places have high gun counts without the high violence count. There’s something wrong with us, specifically.
If America didn’t have guns it would still have massacres. Something like driving into crowds or taking sharp objects into public spaces.
Removing guns is like taking shoe laces in the psyche ward - it isn’t solving a problem but making other opportunities more apparent.
Those poor kids. The presents under the tree were the last gifts from their mom they’d ever receive. Thank goodness the mom had the awareness to send her son out of the house, and that the baby was unharmed. No matter where they go from here, the older kids, at least, will never be able to look at Christmas the same way again.
I expect to see more of this.
Conservative women’s brains are fucked because they needed a sense of belonging and all they had to choose from were scumbags.
I’m not blaming the women. It’s just the reality when a substantial amount of them get sucked up in the MAGA bullshit.
Family annihilators do not always make the national news but it happens a sickening amount. Typically a male spouse.
Jeez, getting kicked out of the UCP hit Kenney hard.
Hope he rots in hell
“The 13-year-old girl begged not to be shot – ‘Please don’t shoot me. Please don’t shoot me,’” Judd said. “And he shot her twice.”
Just put him in the fucking gas chamber and be done with it.
He killed himself
Should have started there, it is less tragic.
Best decision he ever made.
Once again, wtf does this have to do with an ‘NFL game’ that deserves space in the title? He was drinking in one place and brought that into a family shared space and didn’t like being confronted about it. Based on the rest of the article it could have been a cooking show or Bluey for all the difference it seemed to make. It’s not like there was some detail about the football game that passed him off so bad he decided to shoot two people, so why the hell is that part of the title aside from click bait?
As another lemming pointed out elsewhere in the discussion, psychologists have noted a strong correlation between winning/losing football teams and the fall/ride of domestic violence reports in the areas that supported those teams.
That does make sense, but seems like if that was a component of the situation it might have been mentioned, but it references him going in to finish watching the game in the living room. Sounds a whole lot more like a drinking thing and less likely to be about ‘what’ he was pissed off about.
Where is the news value in this article? This and similar scenarios are equally common to people taking a dump in the morning, maybe make news about that too.
What a sorry stats of affairs that this kind of thing is so commonplace that you can’t even muster a modicum of sadness or empathy for those involved.

That really isn’t any more reassuring a sentiment.
