“Christopher Thorson told investigators he then went into the bedroom, assembled his shotgun and loaded it. He then went into the living room and shot his wife, Byrd said.

Investigators said Christopher Thorson then went out on his back deck, smoked a cigarette and had a glass of wine, then called 911.”

Stu Pidass; he didn't LISTEN to her, just like a stereotypical man! He never learned that women want validation of their problems, NOT solutions to them.

He was only expected to DISCUSS why he should or shouldn't shoot her.

You guys have got it all wrong. For her it was no doubt a relief and an escape from a living Hell. The husband sounds like a real bastard!

Why "no doubt"? Just because she was female? Because absolutely nothing in the article supports your claim. It could just as easily be that she made his life a living hell, with her vicious mouth, and finally, after 37 years of sheer hell and verbal abuse, he simply snapped.

From article: "Christopher Thorson told detectives the couple had been fighting and arguing since early Thursday morning. The husband told investigators his wife kept calling him names and yelling at him. Finally, according to Byrd, Vanessa Thorson said to her husband, "Why don't you just shoot me?"...the couple had been married for 37 years..."

The shotgun-murder thing tipped me off.

There is no justification for murder, period.

Now she is dead, killed in cold blood, and you believe his explanation? How sick.

Women should come with instruction manuals.

Here is a GREAT explanation on the differences between men’s brains and women’s brains. VERY true, and also very funny.

“Men’s brains have tiny boxes, and we only discuss what is in that box, and then we put that box away before we talk about something else.

Women’s brains are made of a big ball of wire, and Everything is connected to Everything else! And all powered by emotion”

“Rhetorical Questions And Possible Results”

A class that should be taught to every couple considering marriage.

They do, but they think it is for their use only, so won’t let you look at it.

In all seriousness, NEVER say stuff like that, or “You don’t have the guts to shoot”, etc.

Well, you don't! You aren't man enough! GO ON BIG MAN, shoot me! You don't have the backbone! What'sa matter, mom never taught you to man up and shoot a gun? Huh? Huh? (poking you in belly) Huh? Gonna shoot me? Gonna shoot me? (poke poke) Think you can? (poke poke) Try it! Doubt you can! (poke poke)

You're right. Any wife who says that to a husband who just went and loaded his shotgun and pointed it at her is looking for out.

The husband sounds like a real bastard!

As evidenced by the fact that he deliberately went and deliberately loaded and pointed the loaded shotgun at his wife.

And then pulled the trigger.

Well, sure. How silly of us. I forgot. Men are perfect.

It's always just one person's fault and always the wife.

She just pushed him to do it and he couldn't help himself.

What a wuss.
