@Dave...you make sense...we really don't know people as well as we think unless we live with them and see what happens behind closed doors.

Gary is a "good man?" I am curious to know what definition of a "very good family man and father an [sic] husband" includes shooting your son in the stomach. Seriously. That's what "good" means? Attempted murder is bad enough, but his own son? At most, all of those statements about being a good family man should be in the past tense.

I can't believe this. Something else had to go wrong. Gary is a good man!
