Men behaving badly.


Hey fellows, how many of you, to this day, cringe when you see a little bunny rabbit? Yeah, me too. Those "Fatal Attraction" flashbacks will do that to you. For those of us old enough to remember that flick, it changed our lives forever. No more mind games with the jump -offs.

Well, unfortunately, some of us didn't learn that lesson, and the results were tragic for the girlfriend of former Chicago Bear, Shaun Gayle. Do you remember this story?:

"The pregnant girlfriend of the former Chicago bears All-Pro safety Shaun Lanard Gayle, Rhoni Reuter(42), was found shot to death in her suburban Chicago apartment on Thursday, according to the local police. The Deerfield Police Department says that the body was found when neighbors called the police, after hearing screams coming from Reuter's apartment. Lake County coroner said she suffered multiple gunshot wounds and confirmed that Rhoni Reuter was pregnant. Police indicated that Shaun Gayle was the father of the unborn child, but he was not a suspect in the shooting. " [Story]

Well apparently the trial is on the way for the jump-off who shot and killed Rhoni Reuter.
It's not looking good for Gayle. Some are suggesting that he should share some responsibility for the death of his former girlfriend as well. Sadly, I am nut so sure you can argue with them.

"It is too bad that Shaun Gayle can’t be charged with something in the murder of his girlfriend Rhoni Reuter and the couple’s unborn child.

Marni Yang is currently on trial for allegedly shooting Reuter at her Deerfield home.

This is not an attempt to diminish Yang’s responsibility for Reuter’s death if she is found guilty.

But Gayle should bear some responsibility for the doggish behavior that led to this tragedy.

When Gayle initially was questioned about his relationship with Yang, a real estate agent who helped Gayle with real estate deals, he denied having more than a business relationship with the woman to the media.

I always thought Gayle was being less than honest about the relationship.

Because in order to believe that Yang killed Reuter in a fit of jealousy, and also believe Gayle’s contention that he had no romantic involvement with Yang, you would have to believe that Yang was delusional or bonkers.

Casual sex for him, but not for her

On Tuesday, Gayle testified that he had a casual sexual relationship with the woman, and confirmed that the night before the pregnant Reuter was killed, he had sex with her rival.

Sexual triangles always pose a risk for great harm because some women (and men) will go to great lengths to dispose of their rivals. We’ve seen too many instances in which the matter is settled by violence.

But this was the first time that I’d heard of a woman killing another woman over the affections of a man she had absolutely no sexual relationship with whatsoever.

Worse yet, defense lawyers claim that Gayle was seeing 18 or 19 different women at the time he was involved with Reuter." [Story]

Damn Shaun! "18 or 19" jump-offs? You clearly did not see "Fatal Attraction". Shaun, I have to agree with the writer; your behavior was inexcusable, and while you can't be charged criminally, I don't know how you will ever be able to live with yourself.

Finally, this story out of Cleveland, Texas has me troubled and shaking my head. I am sure you all of heard it by now. (Especially some of my white readers who switch back and forth from the fields to Stormfront.) As much as 18 men (and possibly more to come) ages 14-27 charged with sexually assaulting an 11 year old girl. This is not good. Everyone of the men charged looked like me, and the alleged victim was Hispanic. So, apparently, it being Texas, racial tensions are running high. The word is that the yo....-I won't even call her a young lady I will say child.- the child acted way older than her age, and she posted pictures of herself on Facebook doing things that 11 year old girls shouldn't be doing. But this is not an excuse. She is ELEVEN. I know that kids are looking more mature these days, but, again, she was ELEVEN. Had she been fifteen or sixteen I would have still called for the prosecution of those adults who allegedly assaulted her, but I would not have been as outraged.

I have been reading some blogs about this story, and they have written that folks are shying away from the gorilla in the room: race. Well I am not. I never do. If what the prosecutor alleges did in fact happen, every one of those young men should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Just as the perpetrators in the Dunbar Village assault should have. The fact that they all happened to be black doesn't matter to me.

Some of you parents need to do a better job with your kids, that's all. Especially your sons. I bet that somewhere out there Shaun Gayle's parents are nodding their heads.
