The "Why" thread

Why do fools fall in love?

And why do birds sing so gay?

Why do cases like this arise time and time again and why do the authorities never appear to learn any lessons from the all too many similar cases.

Whatever sentence they get it'll never be punishment enough. Complete scumbags.

In custody disputes courts have a tendency to send the kids to stay with the mother, which is a big mistake IMHO.  In nature it's been observed that when a male hooks up with a female that has already had children, the new male is often hostile to the old offspring and will kill them to make way for his own genes to be propagated instead.  For example tomcats have been known to kill the kittens of rival tomcats for this reason. Scary when you think about it.
