Heartbreaking. Prayers for their souls.

And not one person had a firearm to defend the woman or children.

Telling your crazy hus a d you’re leaving him at your daughters birthday not exactly the smartest way to handle it.

I am not buying your blame the victim assertion. You don't know the circumstances more than anyone else and are in no position to make such a claim.

You topped mine, fer sure.

The drive-by media will just love this event. All the elements are there.....Cracker Barrel restaurant, cracker family, cracker gun-clinger, Confederate flag and basketball hoop in yard.....

It would be an even better story if there was a rocking chair and washing machine on the front porch...and if the husband muttered "fricking coon.....oops, cold" before he started shooting.

She and her kids most likely would be alive right now had she been armed.

my friends hubby dumped her at their daughters wedding, he basically showed up to walk her down the aisle, then said buh bye to the wife.
Also in Cleveland!!! Maybe the water?

Court records show that Kevin Allen had a history of domestic violence dating to previous marriages. Records show he had been divorced at least three times. He was convicted of domestic violence and menacing in two separate cases in 1995.

Why would anybody even date a 3 time violent loser?

Divorce #1 may be due to the whole marriage was a mistake
Divorce #2 may be because the second spouse was a mistake
Divorce #3 - face it...it's you who is the mistake

Now, before any 3+ times married FReeper comes looking for me with a shotgun... I'm armed as well.

Greetings Minutegal:

You’ve overlooked the most significant part of the story being the rusty KC Chiefs sign, amongst the front yard junk in Browns Country.

Seriously, two issues. What is this guy doing with firearm following a history of domestic violence? And why isn’t this woman Ohio CCW?

Cheers,
OLA

Even better for the MSM than the rusty KC Chiefs sign in the yard would have been a battered old "Jesus Saves" sign with bullet holes in it......and an old pickup tire on the gravel lawn with petunias growing from the center.

Awesome observation. Given Senator Clown, er Brown’s wife was the PD editorial board, maybe a Mandel for Senate with Joe the Plumber for Congress signs along the roadside too.

I like their biscuits!

I’m thinking that maybe she did it in public because she was afraid to do it when they were at home alone.

*****Remember when Phil Hartman served his wife with divorce papers while dressed in his pajamas and then proceeded to get into bed? Some spouses are just dumb!***

Your sure right on that...some people just haven't got any brains or common sense..just plain dumb....

> seperately, lemme just say that the self-centered, manipulative and devious qualities that seems to mark what passes for "men" these days is despicable and getting tired. C.S. Lewis “We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man
