Phew … I don’t know how to start. At noon today a man shot his wife in a street next to our apartment. My wife was at home, learning for her final exam, when she heard the shots. Soon after, everything was full of police. This happened only about one hundred meters away.
He ambushed her when she returned to her apartment (they were living apart). When she arrived with her aunt he shot at the car, killing his wife. Afterwards, as it seems to be usual, he killed himself. They both were only 32, there must have been another solution to murder, even if they were completely at odds with each other. You can start a new life at this age. They always call this a family tragedy in the news. As if this would explain anything. How can anybody turn into such a sick swine? Oh, I should also mention that they had two kids, who were in the house next door.
It are always men who kill their families. Something goes awry in this society. Maybe it has to do with people growing into relationships, but not growing up in their relationships. One of the kids is 13 years old. So they got it with 18 or 19. At this age you probably are not adult enough for a long lasting, positive relationship. But who knows… It might be that my subjective impression is wrong, but cases like this seem to occur regularly by now. Who knows how many similar cases there are per year, most are reported only regionally. And where do they get the damned weapons? Next time somebody tries to explain to me why we do not need more strict weapons regulations I will vomit in his face.
