RIP Chris Benoit, his wife and their son

[Shiny]

articles say that he strangled his wife in the living room on saturday, smothered his son in his bedroom on sunday then hanged himself in the weight on monday, before texting odd msgs to chavo (on sunday) which led to a police check. the sherriff department seem pretty sure about the case, unless autopsies say otherwise.

*sits next to Fuu*

It's slowly starting to look like he was just damn crazy.

I heard this news and thought of Gunsmith. So here I am

I think it's kinda inappropriate to wish someone rest in peace when he, you know, SLAYED HIS OWN FAMILY.

I'm just sayin'...

On another note: nice to see so many familiar peeps about. Aloha!

GS!

All contact info plz.

[Gunsmith]

hi GS!

yeah i know

it's the ancient question of

can you separate the art from the artist?

can you like the art but not the artist?

and let's be sure of the facts before we start throwing stones please... although we may never actually discover the motive-

not that even finding out your son isn't yours or your wife has been cheating on you all this time justifies double homicide... yikes

Hey good to see you again GS.

Sure it appears that Benoit was a maniac right near the last momment of his life.

But hey, he wasn't born as a killer, a maniac or any other crazy person. He was a great entertainer and many people including myself liked him a lot.
He was a human being.

I do know that murdering wife and own child is horrible thing that no one can not really think of doing it, but that's what Benoit must've felt too (Too bad it was too late for him).

Benoit commiting a suicide gave me a thought on how much agony and pain Benoit was suffering after he commited his crime. Benoit must've felt really horrible; seeing that he had to end his life by himself at the end.

I admit that I do not know everything about his life, but I am guessing that some ugly event that Benoit himself couldn't handle happend and that's what it lead to tragedy.

So yeah. My prayer goes to all Benoit family, still including Chris.

I don't care how this story unfolds later on. I will always respect his WWE legacy.

Dear child murderer,

i will always remember you dearly because you were so good at fake fighting.

Your admirer, Fuu

Franz Schubert was a notorious child molester and people still play his music, so yeah I like to think you can seperate such things.

Chris Benoit's wrestling = admirable

Chris Benoit's solving of a "family crisis" = appalling

At any rate, I made the thread title before any news of a murder/suicide was reported. The only person who can change it now is a mod, if they feel it necessary.

I don't agree but I LOL'd. =X

I'd like to think that Schubert music might be considered a little tiny bit more important and influential than some man-hugging, but that's not the point, no.

You can enjoy Schubert works without watching his ugly pedo mug (infact i don't even know what he looked like), you could say that his music lives its own life. And he died nearly 200 years ago.

But while watching Benoit performances, you are going to watch the very murderer that killed his wife and probably after pondering about it his son with his own hands, then killed himself either according to plan or to escape consequencies. You are going to watch that face that was the last thing his victims saw(ok, this sentence is a bit pathetic in the classic meaning, but it's true). Wouldn't this be quite uncomfortable?

Unless, eh, you just don't want to think about it.

[Gunsmith]

I doubt that was the same face that we all saw. At any rate, Fuu doesn't even like wrestling so biased opinion disregarded!

the inappropriate jokes have started creeping in

"Why did Benoit kill his wife and child?

Because they wouldn't tap"

a friend of mine, actually... *sigh*

Austin's ex-wife seems to be using the media to push her own abuse (by Steve)

but check THIS out

Initially reported on Wikinews, FOXNews.com later reported that news of Nancy Benoit's death was posted on Wikipedia half a day before the police discovered the bodies. The posting reads: “Chris Benoit was replaced by Johnny Nitro for the ECW Championship match at Vengeance, as Benoit was not there due to personal issues, stemming from the death of his wife Nancy.” The phrase "stemming from the death of his wife Nancy" was added to the English Wikipedia's "Chris Benoit" article at 12:01 a.m. EDT on June 25,[107] whereas the Fayette County police reportedly discovered the bodies of the Benoit family at 2:30 p.m. EDT (14 hours, 29 minutes later). The IP address of the editor was traced to Stamford, Connecticut, which is also the location of WWE headquarters.[108]

So people still don't know why he did what he did? Other than being sad over his friend i see no reason for his depression and his insane act. That'd hardly drive someone to kill their own wife and child, and themselves
