Moriah unfortunately was the most innocent party on all of this, and she is suffering the worst of all the consequences. Murder is never the right answer, Kaitlyn Armstrong should have held her head high, got her nose job, & moved on like a lady without a word. She took her anger out the wrong way because COLIN is the person who decided to participate in a lie, he decided to expose Moriah to a potentially dangerous situation as he is a liar if he tries to say he did not that Kaitlyn was capable. He is the one that decided to destroy another person’s emotions, and create a terrible situation instead of being a man and communicating what he wanted. Right after Kaitlyn, Colin is one of the worst kind of human beings stalking our societies… creating a home with 1 women, playing with the emotions of others who are more than likely looking for husbands of their own. He is the kind of person who puts his wants & needs above any & all else. He’s the kind of person who lets attention from a woman run his ego, and who values the women in our society as pawns for his pleasure..not human beings who also have needs, wants, emotions, feelings. He doesn’t deserve any promotion from this whatsoever.

Thankfully someone’s saying this! To reach such an extreme of throwing your life away by murdering someone, is always done as a response.
