Maybe so, but the police did not have to be called. With the relationship between law enforcement and Black men have calling the police on Richard Sherman could have cost him his life. She sided against him with her family. It says a lot to me that he's been with this woman for 10 years, but they married only 3 years ago. I cannot speak for no other community, but in the Black community (for the most part) the police isn't called unless there is a REAL life threatening issue, and this wasn't it.
The father-in-law have been knowing this man for 10 years. The fact that he pulled a gun tells me that there's a large back story to this. From what I've learned, the suburb where they live is quite expensive to live, so I'm sure Richard Sherman paid for that. For the police to be called on him tell me a lot about that family, and his wife.
He should have never married her.
Well you have it all figured out don't you
Lmao, Chicago thinks that education about abuse leads to more women accusing men of rape. It's not surprising he is blaming wife and her family and claiming he should divorce her (even though it seems like Sherman is the one facing the possible divorce).
Not gonna argue (reargue) points from other, unrelated, threads that some people are just too intellectually challenged to actually adequately debate. After all, some people's brains short-circuit when their "f" word (not the cuss word) conditioning is confronted with logic, facts, data, and statistics. But I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't be so presumptuous as to tell other people what I think. Such presumption is the height of arrogance, a notable side effect of the "f" word conditioning.
Now, in terms of "blaming the wife", I "blame" her for not managing things between her birth family and the family her and Richard created. I'm married. In a marriage it is the responsibility of each spouse to keep their individual families in check, or keep a healthy distance. Situations like this occur ONLY when one spouse isn't managing family relationships properly, and it reaches a boiling point like this, or there's an underlying agenda somewhere.
So, if I were advising Richard Sherman I'd tell him to retire from the NFL, hire a team of lawyers, protect his assets as much as legally possible from child support and alimony, and get 50-50 parenting time with his kids.
Richard Sherman needs to cut his losses before this gets worse.
You're married? I'm engaged, but we've been together going on 5 years now. I pray that neither of us ever in a situation where we are genuinely concerned that the person we love is going to hurt themselves, where they are clearly not in their right mind and at risk of acting unpredictably, and are panicked and have to make a judgement call.
You talk as though you know exactly what it was the caused Sherman's aggressive behavior, and that you understand at a deep level what his wife's emotions and motivations were in that moment. The truth is you don't know anything about any of that. You have implicit bias that you are using to frame the sequence of events within a narrative that you've already decided is the truth. Thank god you aren't in engineering, where that line of thinking and problem solving would get you fired.
We only know what we have direct evidence of, and anything else, all of the "color" or "I bet his wife really wanted to XYZ" or any of that s**t is just flat out speculation. Further, if Sherman is really suffering from a mental health crisis, it's not only in accurate, it's hurtful and actually makes it HARDER for not just Richard Sherman himself to try to get better and return to some semblance of a normal life, but it's dismissive of a person undergoing real trauma, and that is something that is hurtful to other people who may be dealing with mental health issues of their own and watching Richard Sherman go through a very public incident that has the potential to ruin his life.
in short, just be a better human and have some f**king self awareness to know that your opinion is based on a lot of speculation and assumption.
