Hypothetical stray spouse question

[Beiruty]

Neither one is worth doing hard time for... I'd just (at gunpoint) tell the guy to get lost (in the nude, of course) and call the LEO's about a tresspasser running around naked...LOL! (Just joking...).

Bottomline...I don't need to get into a fight of any kind... Take cell phone photo for future reference...LOL.

I have heard that the rumor says, the lovers would commit a pact homicide-suicide .

If you knew that you wife was just cheating, I agree 100%. Since he thought his wife was being attack/raped, I think I would have possibly had a similiar reaction.

The above link details a love triangle that resulted in 3 deaths in Richmond, Texas.

I think you'd only be justified in shooting the scoundrel if he refused to take her with him when he left...or if he tried to bring her back at a later date.

He's doing you a favor if he takes her with him.

So, we've heard from the male CH licensees! Now, let's hear it from the distaff side. What would the ladies do if the roles were reversed (say it ain't so) and Studly, the husband unit, was discovered in coitus with another tail less biped.

EDIT:

Here's a suggestion: Cut off their noses and ears...for starters?

As I said earlier:

{SIGH} & Good Grief!

A buddy of mine and I were having a conversation about justifiable shootings the other day, he said that if

you walked in on your wife having relations with another man would you legally be justified in shooting the

other man. Is that true? Guns and cheating have been around a long time, there must be a case study.

I heard you had to be able to kill them both with one shot.

Here you go for a non-hypothetical: http://www.myfoxhouston.com/dpp/news/lo ... er-suicide

tail less biped.

What about quadrupeds?

If someone wants to steal your wife, the best revenge is to let him have her

I have to agree with that sentiment, Handog.

In this situation, I would use a taser. On both.

Before Rockefeller got the law changed, in NY it was said that the only way to get a divorce in NY was to prove adultery, and the only acceptable proof was to have it occur in front of the judge. There also used to be "alienation of affection" laws in several states, which could justify to sue, jail, or even shoot.

No, your buddy is wrong. That would be murder. Your buddy is probably thinking about that famous court case where the man walks in on his wife having sex with another man. She panics and yells, "rape". The husband shoots and kills the other man. The court declared the husband innocent of murder because the husband really thought that his wife was being raped. The wife, however, did get a small amount of jail time and/or community service (I forget what). The point is that his wife got a slap on the wrist and the husband walked. The wife corroborated her husband's alibi that he really thought she was being raped. Even though she was cheating on him, she testified FOR her husband. Funny thing is, after the wife got out of jail, the two get back together again. Well, I guess it's not so funny if you're the other guy....

It is because of this court case that many misinformed people think that you get a free pass for murder if you shoot your wife's extramarital lover caught in the act. I don't think very many guys can count on their CHEATING wife testifying FOR the husband. That's what makes this case so unique. The case I'm thinking of is different from the case that Hoosier Daddy mentioned.
