Only getting probation for murder is just crazy and frustrating.

[@karinneeskens]

Didnt you watch the video? It wasnt murder...

[@UniverseEmeralds]

@@karinneeskens still atleast some prison time feels necessary

[@JayPPlayz]

@@karinneeskensthen what the hell was it? he purposefully aimed a gun at him

[@BarbaRa-sx7qw]

It was murder. Did we watch the same video? What did you see in this video?

Imagine the tragedy that could have been avoided if she has just filed for divorce earlier

[@tigrytime658]

Unfortunately, like Ray said, some religions condemn it and so if she truly was that kind of religious, then divorce would be impossible

[@toniacollinske2518]

Imagine what could have happened if the dad hadn't been an abuser

[@sandradavis4551]

@@toniacollinske2518Yes, let’s put the blame where it belongs.

[@Romy---]

@@toniacollinske2518 yeah NO SHIT. But he was and he didn't care for his family, so the next best thing would've been mom caring for her children and protecting them from the father. But she didn't because of religion... so it's as much her fault.

[@swedesask]

always got to be f*ing religion that screws it over

[@deandreushayes9836]

Marvin Gaye's mom really should've divorced him a lot sooner. Also, those drugs really messed him up

[@kiwiwi2433]

Thank you I can't help but feel so angry at her. Like it really took the death of your son ? F off

[@kallisto3263]

Do you think it was easy for a woman, a black woman, at that time to just get a divorce? To find a new house with the children and so on and take care of them without the father? I don't think she stayed with him out of love. Unfortunately, sometimes you don't have any other option.

[@kiwiwi2433]

@kallisto3263 I am a black woman and i know how difficult it can be especially if you dont have a job but she had two successful sons. You think they were gonna refuse to help ? The house that was bought wasn't the dad. As a pastor i doubt he is making money. She stayed for religion even though adultery is way more condemned. If she was that worried financially how come she magically found the courage to leave at the end ?

[@ajaugenti1976]

Agreed.

[@muclev]

​@@kiwiwi2433 A few issues. Successful? The man is in deep debt and IRS. 'Magically'? Dad shot her son. She clearly was concerned about other people's opinions regarding her leaving him before. Now, this offers her justification enough in the eyes of any reasonable person aka, "he killed my son for Chrissake!" Not to mention that she's protecting herself from a murderer. Anyway, it was a miscarriage of justice, evidence of how little the yt [justice] systems cared for bc affairs, even concerning top bc folk.

[@DanDanissogood]

That is one of the saddest stories ever from Ray 😢

[@briannalafortune1930]

No, the abused little girl actor was the worst. Nothing compares to how bad Jon Bena Ramsey is. Ray won't touch that

Good choice him and Tammy were such a great duo ❤

[@tashayliddell3]

I love Margin Gaye. his dad was also a cross dresser too. I felt for Marvin, his best friend Tammy Terrell died from a tumor, he turned to drugs and alcohol to cope. so much the man had been through. my favorite song by him is 'i want you'.

[@Veronica.A.]

Mom's fault for not getting divorced earlier. Also success cannot guarantee you happiness.

[@PlushKingVids]

Its against christanity

[@eeee983]

Dads fault for being abusive. Anyone could of stopped this by idk unaliving the dad for example. Doesn't matter who or what, it's the fathers fault. Disgusting of you to put the blame on the victim.

[@stolenart9290]

​@@PlushKingVids isn't it permitted when adultery is involved?

[@stolenart9290]

​@@eeee983 if someone is violent towards your child it's their fault but not protecting your child from violence is your fault.

The fact that he knew his dad would try to shoot him is crazy in itself. Imagine being someone who actually wants to live having to live with a relative you believe that about...

Planning out your death is an insane commitment I’ve never heard of before.

[@Romy---]

Have you been living under a rock is this the first time hearing true crime stories? 😂

[@pizza8567]

@ Ik dawg but committing suicide is usually an instant thing that people do out of urge, spending ur energy and brainpower of planning out your own demise is mad crazy. Imagine committing your whole life to your own demise.

[@pizza8567]

⁠@@Romy---I’ve heard abt crime stories dawg it’s just that usually suicide is done instantly by urge, this has to be the craziest way to plan a death I’ve ever seen. Imagine dedicating your whole life just to receive your ultimate demise. Think abt that for a minute and you can tell thr difference. Although I do understand the heat of his situation and it’s understandable that he’s depressed.

Yea he was technically living with his parents, but in the house HE bought them! Unfortunately depression doesn’t discriminate 😢 You could have everything in the world, but when you have depression, all the money in the world can’t get rid of it 😢 then of course doing drugs does not help at all 💔

[@lizzykayOT7]

I dunno if I believe this "plan" - that seems a lot for last words. I kind of hate his mother a bit. I know that's victim blaming, but so many people believe that staying in a horribly abusive situation is somehow better. I know it's part of the abuse that they become afraid of leaving. But Gaye's life would have been so much different if he had some help.

[@Ellobruv2943]

Omg! It is a new story!!!

[@yongschang8081]

coca cola was too personal 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Yugiohdeckmaster41]

being someone who struggles with that type of depression (not the drug stuff tho) when your that low, if you can find away to make the hurting and pain stop your gonna, i too was in a spot like him where i wanted to end it, but couldnt end it myself, now luckily for me, i had a moment of clarity before i got someone else too do the deed, and that clarity gave me purpose to want to live, he did not find that. but for those saying they could of avoided all of this had she just left his dad from the start, maybe true but also he may of had mental health disorder too, which in the 80 and earlier where not really diagnosed like they should be, so he may of still tryed to find away to end it, regardless what his mom did, their just no way to know.
