How far is too far for vengenance (for jilted lovers)?

I do think supergluing a man's organ to his belly is going too far, but I can understand the anger that those women felt. I wouldn't be a good juror in a trial for this - I'd be inclined to clemency....I've always felt that if women would band together against, instead of fighting over, a guy, there'd be many fewer cheaters....and fewer wives visiting their gynos for painful treatments of STDs caught in their marriage bed..

I thought it was a matter of adultery rather than "jilted lovers"

Personally, I think it is hilarious.

I imagine they'll all be appearing on Jerry Springer eventually

The best part of that story was her picture - I am with ckblv - it's hilarious .
IMO however, revenge is a waste of time and energy... I rather take a person like that out of my life ASAP, instead of wasting my time with revenge. IMO you get hurt as much as the other person...

You know, at first, I thought this was pretty funny too.

However, the ladies on The View made a good point this morning. If the circumstances were reversed, and this was a group of males doing this to a female (even an adultrous one), most people would be HORRIFIED. When I look at it that way, it's not really all that funny.

I thought the plan was brilliant, but the superglue part went a little too far. If it weren't for that, he probably would have been too humiliated to call the cops and report it, but he did need medical attention for that, erm, issue. Superglue is nasty stuff on "regular" skin, but down there? Yeah, I'd press charges for that too.

Yeah, a padlock around his testicles would have been much funnier and less harmful. I think the guy should unstick it with some nail polish remover and consider himself lucky there was not a Lorena Bobbit in the bunch.

Yeah, I think I would be inclined to go easy on the women if I was a juror. And I don't think I would feel very much different if the genders were reversed. Sometimes you reap what you sow. Ya know?

Not that the woman should get off with no punishment. Just not whatever the 'full extent of the law' would be in their case. Maybe anger management classes and probation. And a restraining order to stay away from him.

If other women would put themselves in the shoes of the wife of the man they are fooling around with I wonder how they would feel about someone cheating with their man. It takes 2 to tango and a man cannot cheat by himself.

But if a man is cheating on a person, why would you want to be with that man even long enough to use the crazy glue. He's not worth it.

Aw, but maybe, to them, preventing future broken hearts of other women who would be his "victims" is Their bond was $200, so I guess the court's opinion is that it isn't the crime of the century.
Unfortunately, judges see much worse done to the pets of abused women by the men, on a routine basis

So if a man (and a couple other guys, one just along for the ride) tied up his cheating wife, slapped her, and then glued her vagina shut, you'd say, "well, you deserved it"? (Sorry to be graphic, but that does seem to be how the role reversal would work).

People need to grow up and handle their problems like adults. If he cheated on you, the approriate response is to leave him, not to pull out the heavy-duty adhesive. Heck, I would have even supported them "ganging up" and confronting him, but assulting him physically and sexually? Why risk your name and freedom for someone who is clearly not worth it?

I agree. That's what I was actually trying to convey in my post. I can only imagine what would happen to those men you describe if they did anything like that. Those women need to be prosecuted for their barbaric behaviour.

Why in the world would anyone want to spend another thought on someone who is a cheater. Be thankful you found out and move on. Revenge is a dangerous emotion to the one wanting revenge. Let it go.

I never said they shouldn't be punished. What they did was wrong and they have to face some consequences for it. But it doesn't change the fact that I would go easier on them then I would if a group of women picked some guy at random and that did that same thing. If I was on the jury.

For real! My second husband had a girlfriend for a while, and one evening we met. Did we ruin his night? Yup. Did we get him laughed at by his buddies? Yup. Did we lay a hand on him? No way. And neither of us stuck around to be cheated on again, either.

Yup, it does take two to tango, but only one to lie. The other women likely had no idea he was married, and if they didn't know that then they didn't know they were cheating. They were deceived as well; they just didn't have vows broken.

Like I said in my first post, the plan was good. Humiliate the . The superglue went too far. They should be prosecuted for that part, but I can't say that I wouldn't be lenient with them if I were on the jury as well. Sure, guilty - they did break the law - but their punishment shouldn't be the harshest available.

'Cept for one tiny problem......The woman that actually did the hitting and the gluing is also married. Her husband had no comment for the story.

Personally, no man or woman is worth going to jail for. Yes ok they've been hurt by what he did, and most of us have been there, but it takes a stronger person to walk away and carry on with your life.

Put it this way, i bet a few men will keep their distance from them after this
post #21 of 39
I almost missed the part where it says that when they called one of the woman's phones her HUSBAND answered the phone and declined comment! Which means she was married also!! This was the woman who met him on CL and put him up in a hotel.

Low life people. The all should be glued together!

But seriously, its never okay to assault someone like that. If they wanted to be smart about it there are more ways to get justice without putting yourself in legal jeopardy. All around stupid people if you ask me.
post #22 of 39
I laughed when i first read it too . Part of me, the part where women should always stick together no matter what, thought he deserved it.

The more practicle side of me STILL thought it was pretty funny , but thought for sure these women should pay for what they did.

I can understand the whole crime of passion thing. But these were older women, they should know better. I think it was a bunch of angry women who by being with eachother got uncontrollable and it got out of hand. Isnt that called something like "Angry mob syndrom"? I am not sure, but there is a name for it.

Either way, i laughed at the whole thing. Call me a hypocrite but if i was a woman i would be outraged... but its not, maybe its a society thing, but i still giggled.

I still think it is funny. I am such a heathen.

Nial, I completely missed that part of the story. Then how can she really be all that mad at him for leading her on? The other two (his wife and other mistress) I can understand but that just makes her a freakin' lunatic.

You are right!!!! I just wonder how many of the woman on here would think this was funny if it was reversed. I hope these woman get a sentence for all the charges against them, they deserve it. If this man was cheating on his wife, you handle it one way. Divorce him and don't let him back into your life. It's as simple as that.

Well, not really. There have been only 2 men that posted in this thread. Me and John. Neither of us posted in a "bent out of shape" manner.

Just sort of stating facts and John stated his opinion on how the women involved should be charged according to applicable laws.

And I agree with both of you gentlemen. Those women took things way too far and as one poster said, if the shoe was on the other foot and 4 men did a similar thing to a cheating female, there would be a lot more made of it IMO. They broke the law and they should be charged accordingly. As another poster indicated the man was now arrested for other things, fair enough, let him be tried for the other issues but that does not exonerate what those women did to him.

It was just a joke.

Yes....maybe they're worried that women will become empowered and start doing things to men that have been done for centuries to women: stoning to death for adultery.....assaulted with foreign objects....humiliated...
I think that the reason that this story is so sensational is because it's so out of the norm. Yes, the women are being prosecuted....but has anyone seen the ABC investigations on the public's reaction to women being abused & a young girl begging for help from being forced into a polygamous marriage (the scenes were staged, but the public didn't know that). The majority of people just watched and didn't help. Where's the hoopla and outcry about that
....And, CBKLV, I get the tongue-in-cheek humor in your posts It's been a long day and your witty responses are refreshing to read
