Man confesses to killing hospitalized wife because he couldn't afford to care for her, police say
Man confesses to killing hospitalized wife because he couldn't afford to care for her, police say
This is one of the possible results when medicine and hospital care is run but cutthroat corporations. All healthcare should be required, by law, to be non profit.
I work for a nonprofit Healthcare system, unfortunately the companies we buy our materials from are definitely for profit, as are the insurance companies that do their damnest to not spend their money.
It's a rotton system.
Fuck this dystopian bullshit and everything that led up to it. Our healthcare system is fucking barbaric.
Ya but at least the rich people get to float around on their yachts right????
😭
Only if we keep letting them.
Someone recently memed a twitter post that said, "The Have-Nots and the Have-Yachts."
These right-wing assholes bitch and bemoan injustice and the working man and elite, but ignore how fucked it is we have rising childhood homelessness let alone poverty... But hey at least wealthy shitheads own multiple mansions, yachts, and private planes amirite. The King of Jordan owns at least 2 beach front Malibu mansions; Saudi Arabia, Russia, Japan, China own vast swaths of American land... And there's not a peep over that; just blame the poor mother and child fleeing crime and poverty in South/Central America for geopolitical disasters WE largely caused or ignored in the first place.
Their yachts have little helper yachts
If it makes you feel any better
Canada is trying to adopt your system because public health care is so much worse. Only ~35% oppose private healthcare
How is this not first degree murder? He admitted to trying to kill her before and depression is not a defence for murder.
I guess they don't think it would stick. In Missouri, murder in the first degree is "if he or she knowingly causes the death of another person after deliberation upon the matter". The defense would probably argue that in this instance, he did not deliberate, but took advantage of a brief opportunity.
I don't know how true that is, but it seems like a likely argument.
Except he admitted to having deliberated on it and tried it before, he had also planned it on a third occasion. This could not have been more premeditated.
Yeah, this doesn't feel like it could be more premeditated. He tried it multiple times.
This Silent Hill 2 reboot sounds horrible.
Perhaps the Silent Hill were the friends we made along the way.
This seems fine. Everything is great. /s
I'm just imagining the "this is fine" dog on a yacht in a sea of corpses

It's also a neat trick to save on rent. That's pretty clever.
Like he couldn't divorce her ?

Have you ever been to Missouri? Dude did her a favor.
Have they done any investigation into the cause of her illness? I have no sympathy for this man. If anything, I would be questioning the cause of her illness after hearing that he attempted to kill her multiple times. There are a lot of toxins that can damage a person’s kidneys. I didn’t trust eating my husband’s cooking after he announced that he would rather have a mail order bride from Eastern Europe, or Russia, instead of me. I guess only the blood bank would know if he ever did anything to me. That one time I was seriously ill, vomiting, with diarrhea, and it only lasted one day, I had to question his motive for demanding to make dinner the night before that.
You haven't left him yet?
Just FYI, this person is likely suffering from schizophrenia. Not just because of this comment, but dozens of comments about the many, many people that have tried to kill them in a variety of ways, some nonsensical, since their childhood, not to mention their "law enforcement ex boyfriend that causes planes to fly low over their home".
I filed for divorce twice, but each time, he would disappear right before the last court ruling to finalize it. The judge threw out my last attempt at divorce because he wouldn’t show up. He showed up to divide assets because he wanted one of the cars in his name. He ditched out on the last court date and now we’re still legally married. We have been separated for almost seven years now. I’m still not free from him, though. He has had his friends using his license and email accounts to terrorize me. I don’t know where he is now. All I can figure is that he found that mail order bride of his dreams and swapped ID’s with one of his single friends to have a chance with her. That, or he got into a fight while drunk, again, and some guy beat him to death. I want to file a missing person’s report just to have some legal closure and remove my name from anything that could legally bind me to him. Others say I should let it go. If he has some DUI and hurts, or kills, another person because of it, I could be sued. Honestly, I have nothing left even before a lawsuit.
Look at you and every other virtue signaling higher than thou gaslighting pig really trying out here!
Capitalism kills.
I thought it was the husband!
And the patriarchy.
I mean your right, but that doesn't have much to do with this post.
Conversely, a matriarchy doesn't automatically imply a more moral and meritocratic society.
Women are just people and subject to the same human flaws as men are, especially in matters of resources, power, and influence.

Fuck that narrative. This guy is just a psychopath who was inconvenienced, not overwhelmed because of caring for his wife.
Two things can be true at the same time.
Capitalism isn't exploitative, it's just an inconvenience? Oh, well that solves everything!
Wait, no, that's actually incomprehensibly moronic. F*** your defense of such an evil and exploitative system.
I'm seriously ill. Nowhere near as ill as his wife was, but ill enough to not be working and to have gone to the Mayo Clinic. I'm fully aware of what a huge, overwhelming burden I've been to my family in terms of both finances and emotional toll.
Do I condone what this person did? Absolutely not. But dealing with a seriously ill person is a hell of a lot more than an inconvenience. I do everything I can to make my wife and daughter's lives as easy as possible despite my issues, but I can only do so much. There have been a lot of very difficult moments for all of us.
Where is the line exactly? What constitutes an inconvenience and what is worthy of being overwhelming.
