That Guy Is Such A Hot Head
Conyers, GA
A man has been arrested after allegedly trying to force his estranged wife into an oven on Thanksgiving in front of their five children.
Martin Luther Jackson, 31, of Decatur, has been charged with aggravated assault, aggravated battery, cruelty to children and possession of marijuana after the Nov. 23 incident, said Sgt. Jodi Shupe of the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office.
Jackson and his 29-year-old wife, who have been separated since July, have five children ranging in age from 1 to 13 years old, Shupe said. Jackson apparently started fighting with his wife after she and the children returned to their Conyers home on Thanksgiving.
At one point during the fight, Jackson allegedly attempted to stuff his wife inside the kitchen oven, which had been left on to heat the house, Shupe said. The woman escaped and went to the sheriff’s office with visible head injuries, Shupe said.
Investigators found Jackson hiding under a bed at his mother’s house in Decatur, where he had been living since the separation, Shupe said.

The sad part is, if he’d been smoking the pot instead of “possessing” it he’d have been too busy scarfing cookies in front of the TV to try to roast his wife. Of course, it is possible that’s what they were fighting about….

I’m not sure which part of this story is funnier. The ‘visual’ of this guy trying to stuff his wife into the oven or him hiding under the bed in his mothers house.
I will admit though that at one point many years ago during a fight with my wife I got so angry I just wanted to throw something at her. And even though I was on the edge of reason, I hadn’t quite crossed over and knew I didn’t want to hurt her and the only thing ’soft’ within reach was a plastic container of mashed potatoes. I picked it up and immediately thought better of it, but by this point she’d already fled into the other room. The holidays can be difficult.

it said he’d been LIVING under the bed, not just hiding there…

I had to feed my ex’s family often enougt to wonder why holiday-inspired murder isn’t considered “self defense”. His family would show up, turn their noses up to the food I’d prepared (and I am an excellent cook) and ask for peanut butter sandwiches. These were ADULTS, mind you.
If I had a chance to shove a spoonful of candied yams up where the sun didn’t shine for every ungrateful relative at the dinner table…well, anyway, that’s why they’re ex’s now.
