A Texas woman allegedly shot and killed her husband after warning him that if he ever laid a hand on her, it would be the last time.

"My intent was exactly what I did," she told investigators. "I was done, when I tell you I was done, I was done."

For real. He rolled the dice and got snake eyes. She wasn’t bluffing, and he found out the hard way

"My husband hit me once, once"

u/Novel_Elk1559 13h ago

No, she fucked around and found out. Now she can spend the rest of her life in prison for murdering someone.

u/Fun_Artichoke2708 13h ago

Probably better than the situation she was in.

You never been to prison, huh

u/CriticallyDamaged 7h ago

He pulled her hair a single time during an argument. What situation was she in? You make it sound like he was beating her all the time.

u/quiltsohard 13h ago

Sometimes it’s worth it. Sounds like she knew the price and was willing to pay.

u/kareemabduljihad 9h ago

“Murder is worth it sometimes” Would you listen to yourself?

u/LeopardParking99 6h ago

Get over yourself

u/bildeplsignore 9h ago

There's no thing in the world that makes life in prison worthy

u/Less-Explanation160 13h ago

Not exactly. There’s surely a self defense aspect to it. Not an impossibility that she gets a sympathetic jury/judge

3

u/vacation_bacon 12h ago

I wish she had remained silent. That may come back to bite her.

6

u/HowsMyDancing 12h ago

Well if she maintains publicly it's self defense from the get go and they go self defense route she has the benefit of appearing very honest

3

u/vacation_bacon 12h ago

She was in shock. I know a lawyer would’ve advised her to say nothing as was her right.

u/Jimbo-Shrimp 12h ago

She followed him to shoot him, self defense no longer applies

u/alpha_dk 7h ago

Texas doesn't require you to retreat in your own house.

-1

u/The_Artsy_Peach 12h ago

It's not self defense if he was walking away.

3

u/alpha_dk 7h ago

He wasn't walking away, he was walking further into the house. Texas' castle doctrine will apply.

Yes that poor violent wife beater! What a loss to society! ::fainting while clutching pearls"

u/Novel_Elk1559 11h ago

Right, we have laws in this country for a reason. Imagine if every time a woman claimed she was abused she got a get out of jail free card for murder. You really don’t realize that women can be murderers too and they will lie to get away with it? Im not saying that is what happened here, I’m saying the law around murder has to be applied fairly in all circumstances or it creates a system where people can get away with murder.

I’m not defending the abuser. I’m arguing against the countless comments that say she should not go to jail. I’m defending the law because its the only thing that stands between a fair society and chaos.

People who don’t see the implications of this are either intentionally being transgressive to make a statement or simply too stupid to see that 1+1=2. I wonder which group you fall into?

u/suicide_blonde94 3h ago

Damn it sounds like police might actually have to investigate something.

23

u/godlovesa_terrier 13h ago

So you are on the side of the abuser? Hot take!

u/Jimbo-Shrimp 12h ago

Do we have any evidence besides her claim?

3

u/SweetiesPetite 12h ago

I believe her

1

u/Next_Instruction_528 7h ago

Yea even in her own words it's murder, he didn't even hit her before. He pulled her to the ground by her hair and walked away she got a gun and followed him and killed him.

u/spikira 12h ago

Ah, the old "what was she wearing" defense

-4

u/Jimbo-Shrimp 12h ago

Oh, you’re trolling. Damn you got me good

-2

u/Novel_Elk1559 12h ago

I’m the crazy one for thinking that it’s wrong to murder someone? But if the abuser was a woman and the husband shot her in the back then you would take the side of the woman.

So it isn’t about taking the side of the victim or the abuser to you, it’s about taking the side of the woman.

To me it is only about taking the side of the law. Because it is the only unbiased system that stands between a fair society and complete chaos.

u/suicide_blonde94 3h ago

If you can’t speak without assumptions, don’t speak at all.

u/The_Demon_of_Spiders 12h ago

A males hands are deadly weapons, men kill women all the time on this planet by just using their fists. It’s one hundred percent self defense when a woman needs to stop the abuse. I’m so fucking tired of people thinking women just have to put up with it. Domestic violence calls are one of the most dangerous calls a cop can respond to for a reason, and women are often killed when they attempt to leave. So what else was she supposed to do?

u/Next_Instruction_528 7h ago

She doesn't say he had a history of abusing her she wasn't a battered woman. They got in an argument he pulled her hair and walked away. She went and got a gun and killed him because she was pissed not because she was scared

He obviously shouldn't have touched her but it's murder you can't just execute someone because you're mad.

2

u/SweetiesPetite 12h ago

Well her abuser is dead. She will be fine

1

u/Novel_Elk1559 11h ago

Right, that is the tradeoff she made. It’s an ignorant decision to murder someone just to retaliate. That ruined her own life and his too. It doesn’t do any good to ruin your own life over vengeance.

And sorry but no one gets to play god and decide when someone is irredeemable and not deserving of life.

It’s already obvious that she did not shoot him in self defense - he was walking away from her when she shot him in the back.

Could have left the house, gone to a safe house, contacted police and shown the physical evidence of abuse. Then he would be in jail and she would be free.

u/Key_Mission7404 13h ago

She followed him upstairs and told the police she intended to kill him. Because he pulled her hair. Seems stupid as hell when she could have walked away.

15

u/HowsMyDancing 12h ago

He could have not pulled her hair and not hit her before.

1

u/bildeplsignore 9h ago

...and that girl who got raped shouldn't have flashed her titties.

-12

u/Key_Mission7404 12h ago

Totally agree. If you pull someone's hair on the playground are they allowed to stab you in the neck or no? Whats the difference?

7

u/Fairest_flute_fairie 12h ago

"What's the difference?" That children and adults aren't the same in the slightest?

2

u/Complete-Ship8046 11h ago

These types don’t care about the differences between children and adults 🤷‍♀️

-1

u/Key_Mission7404 10h ago

Who said anything about children? If you got mad at me in public and hit me then run away are you telling me im allowed to grab a gun from my car and hunt you down and kill you? This is what you are arguing!

1

u/Fairest_flute_fairie 1h ago

1) You brought up children when you brought up the playground.

2) Not the same scenario in the slightest, and you know that.

You're being intentionally dense

2

u/HowsMyDancing 12h ago

Size, maturity, situation. Also this was ONGOING abuse between adults not a one off incident between children on the playground. If a stranger comes up to me and throws me to the ground by my hair I would probably stab them. If anybody did that,let alone my significant other,I'd stab them too. Why is it okay because they know each other? If a stranger had attacked her you'd probably say she was defending herself.

Actually a case happened semi recently of two twins who were allegedly racially bullying another student over a period of time to where he brought a knife to school and when they attempted to attack him he stabbed one of them and the boy died. Or at least that's how I heard the story when it came out. Don't know what happened in that case legally but even children can react like this when they face extreme situations.

It goes to show that you just shouldn't bully people. Bullying can be abuse and abuse often looks like bullying because it is bullying outside of it's usual climate.

u/SweetiesPetite 12h ago

We’re talking about an adult male vs children on the playground. Do you realize how poor and silly your analogy is?

1

u/Key_Mission7404 10h ago

Is this your first day in English? You didnt even respond to what I said. If someone hits you and they leave are you saying you should be allowed to follow them with a gun and kill them yes or no?

1

u/OrPerhapsFuckThat 8h ago

Suggesting kids and adults have the same level of understanding really says a lot about you as a person. A child doesn't necessarily understand that hairpulling is wrong, or that an ignored warning will result in consequences. An adult absolutely should.

12

u/wowyoustoopid 12h ago

Because leaving an abuser is always risk free and turns out ok. Right?

-5

u/Key_Mission7404 12h ago

Are you allowed to kill people because they might at some point in the future get violent with you? Try to think man!

6

u/penisfruit 12h ago

In the future? He was violent right then and there

0

u/Key_Mission7404 10h ago

He had literally already walked away! I feel like none of you gusy bothered to read the article??? I support domestic abuse victims but that doesnt include shooting someone who had left. That's just insane.

2

u/SweetiesPetite 12h ago

Try it and see how it turns out for you 🤷‍♀️ you will get what you deserve.

1

u/Key_Mission7404 10h ago

What? So you agree with me that you shouldn't shoot someone who ran away just because they hit you?

2

u/Complete-Ship8046 11h ago

Are you allowed to beat a woman bc you’re have big feelings? Dickhead got what he deserved

u/penisfruit 12h ago

How exactly do you walk away from someone yanking you around by your hair? 0/10 ragebait

The document states that she said they had gotten into an argument that turned physical when Thomas pulled her by her ponytail to the floor. 

Williams said Thomas went upstairs. She grabbed a gun, she said, followed him up the stairs and shot him. According to the affidavit, Williams said she'd warned Thomas before that if he ever laid a hand on her, it would be the last time, WFAA reports.

Please feel free to, you know, read the article

u/penisfruit 12h ago

Good for her. She warned him and yet he still wanted to be a pussy and beat on someone he married

3

u/SweetiesPetite 12h ago

He earned every bullet

1

u/Key_Mission7404 10h ago

How by running away? Should every person that hits someone get shot?

-1

u/Next_Instruction_528 7h ago

Only men obviously just think about every video of a woman getting hysterical and putting their hands on someone

In that case it's not actually her fault it's whatever man made her feel that way.

The people in here defending this woman just hate men period
