I rewatched the video of the Snow murders. It was even more surreal than I initially realized.
Lisa Goy got her phone out of her pocket after Spaide re-emerged from his home. Once she had the phone out, she said “Go ahead” three times as she closed the distance toward Spaide. She held the phone up in the air. Between Spaide’s sixth and seventh shots, she said, “You’re on video.”
Spaide then fired his seventh shot, which hit James Goy. Lisa Goy then holds the phone even higher as she takes another step toward Spaide. Note her foot placement as compared to just before her husband was shot.
Spaide then shoots her with his eighth shot.
As someone said, it’s like they were in separate realities at the moment. Sort of like Tenet.
Someone correctly commented on my Facebook post, “Your last words shouldn’t be ‘Go Ahead!'” To which I added, “Or ‘You’re on video.'”

Almost as if they wanted to be shot dead.
In my youth I was more likely to be “with stupid people doing stupid things” than I have been for the past couple of decades. Along the way I discovered that those least capable of dealing violence are usually the instigators and they live in their own fantasy in which others are like them: willing to get mouthy and loud but nothing more. Some learn the hard way and just get a few teeth knocked out, but for some it proves their final lesson on this planet. Those most capable of using force tend to be quiet people, and walk away from trouble, funny how that works.

Excellent lessons in behavioral science here. Throw your waste on a neighbors property. Call the neighbor a “Pussy” and a “Queer”. Then, tell him to “Go Fuck Himself”. Then, top that off by telling him to “Go Ahead” when he comes back with a pistol. The tragedy is that the neighbor, Jeff Spaide killed himself. That’s what happens when you get really mad before having a good breakfast. James and Lisa were perfect for each other. Equally outspoken and outrageously stupid and self-destructive.

I’m willing to guess that this is not the first encounter with each other these people have ever had. Tension between neighbors (even sane ones!) can fester and escalate because both parties are feeling trapped in a situation where the winner takes all, and the loser is constantly reminded of their humiliation. That’s why you should always try to be the bigger person, or consider moving because there are people who actually enjoy living like this for some sick reason.
