Everyone's Crazy Here But Me. Hey Stop Looking At Me That Way!

One of the best things about this blog deal is that I get to vent. Maybe no one reads it, but at least I have an outlet. And, with all the really stupid stuff going on in the news, I need some sort of a soap box to let it all out. I really, truly believe this world has gone totally mad.
It's rather frightening to think what sort of people are out there...people we have to rub shoulders with on a daily basis. I mean there are some folks who are so screwed up in the head. I've been reading about this Jennifer Hyatte, and I don't know who is the most screwed up in that bunch.
Her ex-husband, by whom she has three children, says, "She was just a wonderful mother and wife." Yeah, so, why did you two divorce? And, think about this, she got custody of the kids.
From the looks of her, I'm going to venture a wild guess that she probably wasn't the most popular girl in school, certainly not the beauty queen. One news report listed her age as 31. I'd double that if she'd stopped by my age-guessing concession at the fair.
But, quite likely, the woman is a caring type of person. She was probably the girl who'd stop the car and go back and help a turtle crossing the road. You know the type. If she saw an injured puppy, she'd take him in and nurse him back to health.
In fact, early last year, Jennifer earned her diploma as a licensed practical nurse. She got a job with a state contractor in Tennessee. That position took her into the Northwest Correctional Complex, where she would provide health care to inmates. I can just imagine her going in with wide-eyed innocence, hoping to make a difference. Well, Jennifer, you really did make a big difference in the lives of Wayne Morgan's family. He's the guard she shot dead in helping her new husband (and, step-father of her kids, don't forget), George, escape from prison.
What kind of woman falls in love with a violent criminal and marries him, knowing she's going to be bringing him home to the kids? "Hey boys and girls, look what momma has for you...347601, your new daddy." I don't know what kind of woman does it, but plenty of women seem to get caught up in the romantic (?) notion of marrying a killer or some other member of the violent-crime community. Scott Peterson's conviction of murdering his wife and unborn child just seemed to make him even more attractive to a number of women who have mailed proposal letters to his new prison home.
Another question I have is what kind of father watches his obviously mentally deranged ex-wife marry a prisoner, knowing that his (the real dad's) kids are going to be living with him (the step-dad)? Maybe, Jennifer's ex did get outraged and go after custody, but from the reports I've read, it doesn't appear that way. In fact, the ex-husband is quoted as saying regarding George "The Convict" Hyatte, "He seemed like a great guy." I have a hunch that if I were looking for someone who had an exceptional ability to judge the character of others, Jennifer Hyatte's ex-husband would probably not get the job.
At last report Jennifer's three kids had not been told of their mother's escapades. "Well, you see kids, your mom kinda wanted a honeymoon with her new hubby, so, she gets this gun, you see, and she steals a car..." Watch out world. Here comes a new bunch of really screwed up people.
