Divorce Lawyer gets hand blown off

[CabinetMaker]

I'm going to both agree and disagree with you here.

His reaction was unusually harsh for a divorcee statistically.

However, his situation (certainly in his own mind) was also unusual.

She did not just divorce him:

(1) She stole 3 million dollars.

(2) THEN announced her intent to divorce.

(3) Then fought and got main custody of his son.

(4) Then sued and got support payments.

(5) Then sued and had the payments increased.

(6) Then harrassed her ex-husband's new partner and tried to frame her
and slander her for cheating.

(7) Then poisoned his son against him, and probably conspired with
the son to rip him off for his money.

(8) Then she attempted to leave the country with his son.

Many would consider these circumstances also quite extreme,
even for a bitter divorce.

--------------------
After a long bitter drawn out battle for money and custody,
he took some violent counteraction.

(1) Its not clear that he attempted to kill.
The explosive charges were small and possibly designed to maim
or blind rather than kill.

(2) Its not at all clear that his actions constitute murder.
They can also be construed as self-defence and defence of property and family.









The unfortunate result of this final blowup (no pun intended),
is that yes, he is already alienated from his son,
and now has likely lost him as a friend and family member in this lifetime.

I doubt however that it was his original intent,
and the son may have contributed to the situation
by siding with the gold-digging mom.

I strongly suspect that the son's loyalty was also easily influenced
by the amount of money the woman took off with.
The whole affair looks very seedy on all sides.

If she did all that stuff to him, why did he go after the lawyers?

If she did all that stuff to him, why did he go after the lawyers?

Without being able to speak for him,
I would guess that he perceived they conspired with her on many
of the points mentioned.

God obviously didn't feel like doing any miracles to save one lawyer
from severe maiming. Results like this explain why lawyers
aren't normally big on God and God's laws.

They're playing for the other team.

When God threatened to sue Satan,
the devil asked, where are YOU going to get a lawyer?

I'm sure Jay Sekulow will be delighted by your little joke.

I'm not convinced by your argument. It makes about as much sense as shooting your neighbor when somebody is trying to break into your house.

How much experience have you had with lawyers as a defendant?
or in a divorce or paternity suit?
or in civil law suits?

Because your argument would have a lot more credibility if
you experienced being a suspect in a criminal court.

None. I intend to do every thing I can to keep it that way.

Then may I suggest you visit public courtrooms, and see what really happens.

It might help explain for you why some violent criminals just go in and out
of jail and commit the same crimes over and over again,
while innocent people and non-violent offenders sit and rot for years.

Of course it should be easy for a rich/middle-class white kid with a
university degree in a gated Caucasian neighbourhood who works for a tech company
to stay out of jail at least for most of his life.

I hope you have some empathy for ethnic minorities who grow up in
government housing in downtown slums in large cities,
who may not be so fortunate to avoid racial profiling, frame-ups,
false convictions, and altercations with police, even when
they've done nothing criminally wrong.

I was a jury foreman for an attempted murder case. I saw how the system works.

I don't think one trial is an adequate sample of "how the system works".

Was it the O.J. trial, the Michael Jackson trial, or any of a thousand "unusual cases",
"exceptions", or non-conforming cases in regard to our 'wish-dream-list'
for how "the system" OUGHT to work?

...Naz celebrates in the physical violence against people he doesn't agree with.

Do you celebrate divorce?

Take heed to your spirit. :listen: You might just lose it forever. Am 8:7

"Mal 2:16. But there is one further compelling factor: For I hate divorce, says the Lord. English Versions agree that this is the prophet’s meaning, even though the Hebrew in fact reads ‘if he hates send (her) away’, a sense found also in the ancient Versions. Evidently the text suffered early at the hands of some who wanted to bring Malachi’s teaching into line with that of Deuteronomy 24:1, which permitted divorce. Such a reading undermines all that the prophet is seeking to convey. The God of Israel, a name used only here by Malachi, is appropriate because the subject concerns the future of the chosen race. He sees divorce to be like covering one’s garment with violence, a figurative expression for all kinds of gross injustice which, like the blood of a murdered victim, leave their mark for all to see.

JB makes the last sentence very meaningful: Respect your own life, therefore, and do not break faith like this. It is in the best interests of the individual as well as of the community that families should not be broken by divorce. Malachi’s plea prepares the way for the teaching of Jesus (Matt. 5:31, 32; 19:4–9)." Baldwin, J. G. (1972). Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi: An Introduction and Commentary (Vol. 28, p. 262).

seems to me that there'd be cause for celebration if all lawyers got blowed up :idunno:
