It's Florida, happens all the time.
He should have just gone to Big Kahuna. That's that new Hawaiian burger joint. I hear they got some tasty burgers. I ain't never had one myself. If you like burgers, give 'em a try sometime. I caint hardly get 'em 'cause my girlfriend's a vegetarian; which pretty much makes ME a vegetarian but I do love the taste of a good burger. Do you know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in France? "Royale with cheese"!
Do you always use movie script excerpts to express your opinions, or do you submit to the occasional use of original thought?
I liked it, keep up the good work, parkour.
And for those speculators saying she must have endured a lifetime of abuse, you don't know. Maybe he was the abused one, and finally had enough. Maybe she just wouldn't shut up. Or possibly, and most likely, if they recently moved from NY to FL, she started putting mustard on his burgers. That's almost enough for me to kill somebody.
Look at the big brains on Brad!
"Chuck" and "Relax" get it. "JTEX", my original thoughts would require people to actually THINK. That seems to be the one freedom we have in this country that is seldom exercised to its full extent; at least not as much as the freedom to carry a gun or the freedom to display ones stupidity while calling it "freedom of expression".
Im not validating her death and saying men should just stab they spouse over a damn sandwich (lmfao) but like I said if she aint gonna make you a damn "hotdog" i.e, leave her ass, and fast! She would have to get out my house... im sorry. I dont care. If you not gonna listen to me but I have to "respect" you then that means you not respecting me... so YOU gots to go! Plain and simple and anyone on this newvine who has a wife/husband who is NOT doing @!$%#... why are you still in that relationship? I cant spend my hard earned money on a bitch that wont make me a ham sandwich... @!$%# that!
What if the deed to the house is in both names? What then, courts usually side with the women.
Hennese, we figured you out the first time you posted that crap. No need to keep repeating it.
We need to break the chain of violence against women.
Thank Goodness he didn't use an Ar-15. That would be immoral.
Where's the beef?
She wasn't going to be his patsy!!
How in the hell do you control folks that have an urge to kill someone for a thousand different reasons. Be it a gun or a hundred different weapons, poisons, strangulation, drowning, stoning, run over with a car or anything you can think of. If you can get rid people of hatred, bigotry, religious nutcases, racism or just because you can it possibly could be a better World to live in. Since Mankind humans have been imposing their wills upon everyone they possibly can for whatever reasons I doubt anytime soon they will learn to live with one another and NOT trod all over others. Making jokes and blaming everyone else on the face of the Planet won't solve a thing. You are responsible for your own actions and NO one else, period!
What's with this "new generation" of violent elderly criminals?
78 years old and doesn't know how to cook his own burger? WTF?
Can you imagine how much abuse this poor lady put up with her whole life if it only took something this little to explode? Wow! Poor Family!
stuff his mouth with raw hamburger and fire up old sparky
Another reason not to eat red meat (or get married).
Why 2nd degree murder, should be 1st? What a nasty old coot, I hope he lives without ever getting another hamburger.
Probably not "premeditated"....more of a "fit of rage"...
Isn't there a "Stand Your Gound Beef Law" in Florida?
That's only for the beef still on the hoof at the slaughter house.
We need to ban easy access to Kitchen knives, as well as knives over 10 inches in length. This is a huge danger to society, and poses a serious risk to general society.
If anything AT LEAST background checks on the purchase of knives and mental evaluation.
And at least a 3 day waiting period.
At least the onew with the black plastic handles - they are really scary!
No more hamburgers for this creep!
Must be a Jewish wife. The Jewish husband would cook himself a burger, and when his wife wonders why he didn't cook one for her, he would apologize to her, give her the burger, and stab himself.
He looks like Cotton from King of the Hill. Seems to act like him too...
Is it me or doesn't Florida seem to have a lot of "unique" incidents of a bizzare nature ?
Set him free deep in the Everglades covered in honey and save some tax dollars....
Knives don't kill people, hungry fat wrinkled burger gobblers kill people.
Another angry white man. Cook you own hamburger, simple as that.
if you don't like it go to liberia,or some other place w/o white people
Chortle! Guffaw! b dune is funnier than me!
Hamburgers don't kill people... people do! Why are we wasting our time responding to this article... slow day and bored!
But wait on the hamburger statement - there is another article on hamburger salmonella deaths... Good Grief!
