Berto is a piece of s...

[ElTerribleMorales]

all the talk about how people should be more aware of the poverty and tragedy in Haiti, and now he came out with this gem...

On Monday morning, Berto wrote the following on Twitter: “R.I.P to Edwin Valero after killing his wife yesterday he just killed himself in jail today. WOW women are a [expletive] boy RIP E.V.”

I'd like to be enraged by this but Valero wasn't even on my radar. I have nothing invested in him and so I struggle to rustle up a feeling good or bad about any of this.

I think we should send Daxx out to "interview" him.

Surely that fact that he killed BOTH of the parents of his children causes a slight stir? No?

Sorry, Killer. I hit edit instead of quote. I'm useless.


Anyway...

Nothing emotional. I understand that murdering a woman is criminal and that it has a negative impact on the lives of others, but in this case I am just too far removed from ground zero.

For me the headline reads: Man Kills Wife; Hangs Self.

I'm not claiming normalcy. I'm just talking about it from my roped-off section of the world.

Never liked Berto and think he is still overhyped.I always thought he was full of shit and now he is adding an asshole on top of the pile.

i don't give a fuck about Valero, the thing that piss me off are Berto's comments towards Valero's murdered wife, and his insinuation that she's the cause of the entire tragedy

[Spicoli]

So Valero and the mother of two are still dead.The children were robbed of innocence and will suffer.And Berto is a overhyped flawed fighter who put one of his two left feet in his mouth?Got it.

agree.. he said something about "woman is a m*******ker" or something like that. what the heck.. and he twit something later like "i apologize for my comments" he lost the very little respect i have for him.

Im a fan of Andre Berto but i think the comment is wrong, but maybe he wasn't thinking and his mouth was 3 seconds ahead of his brain. Because Andre Berto normally comes across as a nice guy, i mean we've all said stuff we didn't mean. Or its come out wrong, no need to hate on the guy. He's normally a class act.

I agree, plus he might have known Valero personally and have more of an idea of what was going on.

I mean if one of my mates killed his wife and then himself that's the kind of thing I'd likely post.

People tend to be a lot more understanding and forgiving when they know and like the person.

The idea that man kills woman = evil scumbag who will burn in hell is a little bit simplistic, and you might make more allowances if the killer was a personal friend or someone whose character you knew was pretty good.

He was just showing support to Edwin, but I do agree it was an ill advised comment. But he's apoligised so let's move on.


I have to laugh at irony however about all these people creating threads to say 'Fuck you', or label someone a piece of shit becuase of something they said on a forum. I mean come on, glass houses and all that.
