Lets see. She is offering to fuck him. He turns her down because he has a _golf game_ in the morning. She brings out **toys**.

What the hell was wrong with him.

Oh and he should not have killed her. Or attacked her. Or done anything… actually not doing anything would have gotten him laid.

I’m guessing he lost at Wii, the toys were for him, and that he wasn’t in the mood for a “hole in one”.

I almost wonder if he’ll try the attempted rape defense at trial.

The trial is already proceeding - he’s arguing self-defence, on the basis that she came at him with a knife.

His “driver” wasn’t up to par.

So your theory is he wasn’t okay with going from being a mountie to being a mountee.

There comes a time in every man’s life when he has to say “fuck golf”.

For me, that time was when I was age 20.

There’s that, but if he tells the jury that it all started when, “…Snidely Whiplash tied up Nell for a train”, they just aren’t going to buy it… :eek:

I think I speak for everyone here when I say we all recognize spousal rape is a serious subject and we would never make it a topic for jokes.

Spousal murder, on the other hand, is comedy gold.

That’s a red flag in a relationship, right there.  
Keeping a gun is one thing- knowing you better get it out when she goes in the kitchen is another.  
“Is she coming back with a sammich? Or a _knife_??”

Sometimes he likes the crusts on, sometimes not. _Of course_ she’s going to bring the knife in with the sammich.

Which is also a criminal offence in Canada - unsafe storage of a firearm.

Facts undetermined at this time. The bedside table could have had a biometric gun safe in it.

Yeeep, I’m seeing this scenario:

Mountie: Let’s make a bet; if I win, I get to fuck you in the ass tonight.

Wife: Fair enough, if I win I get to fuck you in the ass tonight.

Mountie: Deal (heh heh heh…she sucks at Mario Kart) Bring me another beer, eh? Make it two.

_later_

Wife: Wow, you suck at Mario Kart when you’re wasted! Ready for this?

Mountie: Fuck you, bitch. _blam_

I’m betting he would have been upset had he won and she refused to play by the rules, as well.

Point well taken. This is an ugly story. Nobody deserves to have things shoved up them against their will. Nobody deserves to be stabbed. Nobody deserves to be shot dead.  
In this case, at least one of these things happened and all three were alleged to have been threatened. Time for a courtroom that smells like sawdust, sweat & fear.

Actually I suspect the whole story might be a sham. Apparently the crown has pointed out that she would have dropped the knife when she was shot in the head so it’s mighty suspicious that she was still holding it when she was found.

Your scenario is ridiculous. The only good Mario Kart was the N64 version.
