casapete Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) Annoys me that when women do stuff to ex husbands / lovers, it's because it was she was 'upset or angry' and is often viewed sympathetically by others, somehow justifying the destruction. Think clothes ripped, wine given away to strangers etc etc. Whereas if a man did anything similar he would be locked up straight away - funny old world ain't it?

Dad3353 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 [quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1501157491' post='3342907'] Arrested doesn't mean convicted and jailed for wanton destruction and criminal damge, though i hope thats how it ends up [/quote] 'Arrested' as there's (presumably...) a presumption of guilt; the conviction and eventual jail may follow on from a court case, where all the salient facts are brought forward, and a 'guilty' verdict found. It' a bit presumptuous to anticipate this; there may be other explanations. (Not saying that there are, but we know nothing more than that simple, succinct news story...). Just sayin'.

spongebob Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I know a guy who was playing away....I met him after this, but I can't say I blame the actions below.... Wife walked out on him, due to his infidelity...but a short time later let herself back in to the house to grab his newly purchased Gibson Les Paul, a white custom shop. His dream guitar. Needless to say, she took it and apprantly pretty much have it away, on purpose. Wife 1, cheating husband, 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpondonBassed Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Yeah. John Wayne Bobbitt was rumoured to have found the missing piece, so to speak, when he heard a frog by the roadside going [i]"mmm Bobbitt! mmm Bobbitt!"[/i] He stopped at the side of the road, made the frog regurgitate and got back what he thought he'd lost forever.
