I think to sum up the sentiments of every single person who knows about this whole thing, I will say that this is one f'd up situation.
None of it makes sense, at all. Right now, and unfortunately, it appears 99.9%certain that Chris Benoit is indeed a murderer. But still, and there will almost always be a still in this case, that is not 100% is it? There are a few things that don't match up, and that may appear as wishful thinking, but maybe some of us don't want to come out with comments that completely trash Benoit before we know fully certain, that Chris Benoit killed his wife and child. Yes, it looks bad, but when things don't make sense like they do in this situation, is that a cue for everyone to automatically ignore that, and just assume that everything that the media and everyone who has spoken on the event, is true?
And for one, how do we know that this situation (if indeed Benoit did murder his family) wasn't caused by a mental illness that we have no idea about? We've all heard stories of things like this that have occured, involving a certain 'illness' and who's to say that it didn't happen here? If this is the case, I'm sure that no one would have the disrespect to trash the man. As far as allegations that he took steroids, who knows? That could definitely have lead to this. But to trash a man for making a huge, huge mistake in his life by taking steroids which later may have lead to murdering his family, is undervaluing the man he actually was.
I'm not one for making up all these theories for how it happened, and I don't want to know what happened, but I damn sure do know that no one knows every single f'ing detail that happened in this incident, so no one should act like they do. Yes, it looks bad right now, and if it is proven for sure that he is a murderer, and not because of a mental illness or anything like that, then and only then will I say anything like 'fuck Benoit'.
What everyone needs to know is that a family has been killed. Think of his 7 year old son. Innocent son I might add. He is now killed, and not a lot of people seem to think that is important. Not to mention the fact that 2 children are left without a brother, and parents, left as orphans after an incident that the media are all over. Let's all act like adults, and treat these deaths with a little more respect, other than saying things about the people involved that aren't always exactly sympathetic.
Chris Benoit was an awesome performer, and I don't think he'd have half the respect he had if he wasn't a very great man, and if someone with that much respect, and someone known by anyone associated with him as a great human being, can suddenly just decide to kill his family, than I don't know what's happening in this world. Right now, I'm going to say that I do think that Benoit is in fact the killer in this thing, but that is only because the evidence is all stacked up against him. But I think if he did do it, there was a reason that we will never know, and something really wrong was happening with the man. So don't rule out a mental illness before we say anything else. Something out of the man's control, like a severe illness, is hardly worth degrading him over, is it? So before you shit all over the man, don't assume anything, because I believe that we don't know half the story yet. If you assume, you can make an ass out of you and me (or something along those lines.)
