Yup. I’m totally sure that had nothing to do with this guy’s response to her coming to his door.

I mean, tbf, if he’d called the police they’d probably have shot the person 6 times. Maybe he just felt like cutting out the middle man?

Remember, these are the same people that believe hurricanes hit us to punish us for not being nasty enough to LGBT people. In their mind her ‘sinful ways’ caused her to be shot.

Some did—my paternal grandparents were a love-at-first-sight case. After my grandfather passed away, my grandmother was so heartbroken she basically stopped living.

Some didn’t—it wasn’t after my maternal grandfather held grandma’s hand to the hot stove, or beat her black and blue, that she finally got up the nerve to throw him out and file for divorce; it was when he started to go after their kids. Even so, as a single mother she faced all kinds of difficulties and discrimination socially and in the workforce.

But I can’t even imagine what things would have been like if she had been forced to stick with him.

And regardless of how much my paternal grandparents loved each other, they were still chained together, both by society’s expectations and by laws that, for example, wouldn’t let my grandmother have her own bank account until the mid-70s.

If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him.

Be very careful with that desire of yours to be able to watch all people all the time the second they step out into public. Even in a magical world where all laws are sensible and just—which is, notably, not the situation in the real world—it is still possible to do a lot of harm with that kind of information.
