Well well well "pistol packing Pastor" was sleeping with the other guy's wife? Got her pregnant?

Family members have identified the victim as Deante Smith. We're told Smith and the pastor had been friends for many years. But, recently, we're told Deante believed the pastor and Deante's wife were having an affair and got her pregnant.

Family says Deante went to confront the pastor when he was shot and killed.

"He was at his wit's end with this whole situation," said Deante's cousin Detrese. "It didn't have to end like this for him, he was a great boy."

1. Well, that would explain the 'shot him seven times' part, or whatever it was.

As opposed to just shooting him once.

2. The pastor was merely "standing his mount."

3. "believed" as in "conjecture"

4. That's true

I used the ? because we don't know but the police are investigating. We'll see.

8. As opposed to something entirely different offered by whom...?

9. I'm not sure who needs to offer a competing theory about the pastor was having an affair.

Either he was or was not.

5. That has to qualify for the best laugh of the day

Yes, I know a person was killed - but, damn, that's rich in karma and humor.

6. You can believe what you want of someone with impunity. Attacking him with a brick however....

[Lizzie Poppet]

7. Exactly.

You might want to take a brick to the skull of someone who slept with your wife or husband...but actually trying to do so can get you jailed or shot.

10. Oh well in that case,

Beating the pastor to death would have been justified.


Is there any evidence of this affair besides hearsay? Even if true, should the victim have taken his brick-beating like a man?

[Codeine]

11. Probably should have kept his wife happy, then.

Failing that, accept your losses and move on without brick-wielding.
