There is some serious ignorance out there about what marriage is or isn’t, why it was constructed in the first place…and by whom.

Look. No ‘mistress’ over the age of, say, THIRTY, thinks she’s “the number one lady” in a married man’s life.
Not if she has at least a semi-functioning brain.

It sounds like this young girl really believed her prince in shining armor had come to rescue her from a life of “blah.” Her fantasy was being destroyed and she reacted destructively to say the least.

I am also a fan of what I call the sisterhood covenant. All women are sisters who have to protect, support and honor each other. Well, that is the ideal. If only this were true.

NOT because she was a young, naive, high school drop out but because he was married and HE took vows. Also,
when women gain a little more self respect and stop thinking that half of a man is better than no man and understand that we as women are all sisters this won’t happen. Until then…this same thing will continually play out like a broken record with neither side learning a thing from it. Everyone thinks it won’t happen to them…until it does.

Yeah, I heard about it with her fam out in Orange Park.

But, in this case, yes, I blame McNair. He shoulda known better than to string this young girl, high school drop out. Come on now Steve.

Also, just last week, she flew to Las Vegas to meet him, and he never showed up.

If we have to lay blame, I place it squarely on his shoulders. He was older, more experienced, and should have made better decisions. Who could blame a young girl, niave girl for becoming star struck. Especially when seeing the fame and the money.

I think he strung her along, and when she finally realized it was all just a game, she decided to get some payback. Too bad the payback included taking someone’s life.
