Yeah, why is this okay?

Forget innocent until proven guilty--the article doesn't even say he "allegedly" cheated, that part is just the gospel truth. And, so what? Did his wife cheat on him? Were the women he was cheating with also married and living in infidelity? Had he cheated on her multiple times before and she knew about it, but stayed with him anyway?

We didn't ask those questions. Yeah, I'll be the tw in this thread. First principles are not established here.

And, in the final equation, brutal vigilante justice is not okay unless you are in a comic book.

I suppose that... because there is a history of violence towards women, perpetrated by men, we should chalk this one up to "payback" for all of the sins of history? I call bullshit.



FYI: In my previous marriage I was cheated on. I just left and got a divorce. That seems like a more appropriate response to me.
