What's the difference between Benoit's situation and the Ohio killer of his girlfriend?

Question

He was a police officer, but he killed his girlfriend. Why are people saying this man is horrible, deserves life in jail, or whatever it may be. He was a protector of law, why aren't people paying tribute to him then. He probably had "personal reasons" for doing it, just like people saying for Benoit.

My point is Benoit's situation is no difference. He was a wrestler and people are sad he passed away even though he's accused of taking two others with him. Why not feel bad for a ex-officer?

P.S. I am in no way supportive of either guy. I am trying to show that both acts are hideious and Benoit is getting too much "Oh what a great person" type answer.

They both had reasons for doing what they did. Most likely, it was a bad reason. I think it's stupid people are so sad that Benoit died and don't show any sadness that he most likely killed his family. If this is true, lets feel bad for the Ohio killer, because even though he killed his girlfriend and unborn baby, surely he was a great person in the police force, right! (sarcasm) You get the point. RIP Benoit's wife and son. As for him...i'm sure the man upstairs will deal with that.

Hey blondie, how do you know that the OH guy didn't have a mental breakdown. Plus he killed the girlfriend and the BABY died too! That's two people. Benoit is no difference from the OH killer.

Answer 1

I know what you are saying. Actually the WWE show didn't have any of the facts and were just responding to the sudden deaths like they did with Owen Hart and Eddie Guerrero it is tragic none the less. More so for his family of course but they were recognizing his accomplishments in the ring and his professional character. OJ Simpsons accomplishments on the field cannot be denied despite his personal life and the evil he has done outside of football. I think it is ok to seperate the two. I appreciate the question it provides balance. I think people are just in shock and disbelief. Still it will be interesting to learn exactly what the details entail after the investigation is complete. His actions were horrible you are correct the only thing that made the other Ohio killer more hated is that he was married and a man of "the law" and still killed his PREGNANT girlfriend without remorse. Both crimes are evil though.

Answer 2

Both men are awful, but here is what I think. OH was a dirty cop who murdered his girlfriend and unborn child and left her toddler to die as well. Blatant cruelty.
Benoit could have had a mental melt down, hence the taking of his own life, so he gets pity from all of his loyal fans.
Both situations make me feel nauseated and very disappointed with society as a whole-

boo "f-ing" hoo

Bobby cutts killed one person

Benoit killed three (including himself)

But unfortuantly the sickos will defend Benoit because hes white and a cerlebrity.
