Agree %100. At the time of hurting, some people get desperate and would do some crazy things. I recalled one time when I was rejected by a girl’s family and by her also. I had to watch her go out with my best friend and endure much hurtings. I was desperate to get away from that place, but was not to be; for for one whole year I drank and smoked hoping to get some relief and at one point I told God: if I have to live with this, then I don’t want to, so you help me to get over this, or kill me!

Now some 18 years later, I thank God for that unanswered prayer of marrying that girl, for later I found out how nasty she can be, and her family. So, will encourage any man/woman to endure the hurt and as you said, it makes you a better person.

He need to learn to deal with rejection. Rejection is a part of life. Anyway he would have a lot of time to reflect and such.

Why can’t men just walk away when the woman say their are moving on, but if it was on the other side they would move on without thinking.
I hope the Police found him soon and lock him away for life, I guess the gun was an unlicense gun.
Hope miss Sophia Pitman get the help she needed.

What side if the story. The point is that he caused harm to her. So what if her family did not like him, from the article his family did not agree with him either… wrong is wrong.. and he is wrong…

Do you know how much a surgery of that magnitude will cost, its nice to help but I don’t think we have enough donations to cover it. I feel its the government responsibility to take care of its citizens.

Roger, I know what you mean bro, but men have to be strong. Those parents that rip their sons and daughters out of loving relationships for the sake of pride and social status would have to answer to God. Family can play a major role in relationships. It is a topic that can go on and on. Rejection makes a man a better person in the end. After all, nothing in the life is to keep.

I wish Sophia a speedy recovery and yes, please let us know where to send some assistance.

By the way all, and please do not jump on me for this view, but in a lot of cases where men have assaulted women, if those who show some remorse for their abuse receive the right kind of councelling, the majority of them will never repeat the act of abusing anyone.

Having said that, I hope that the sob who shot Sophia is caught and subjected to the full force of the law.

John: I do not subscribe to the rule of law of “the other bullet”. The police should have a chance to question this man to find out his side of the story. Remember that every story has three sides, his side, her side and the truth which usually lies somewhere between the previous two.

Oh boy, hope this poor girl gets the correct medical care. This is a typical west Indian male for you, sorry guys, but I have to say it. If it isn’t the rum it’s jealousy.. mind you I am not saying ALL of you are the same but … how many times us women have to say to you guys to leave us alone if things are not working out?? I have been in this situation and as Sophia said ““he was always a nice person”.
well,,,, yeah until the grapes turn sour! Ladies, it was GOD that made you and ONLY GOD can take you remember that!!
Wish you a speedy recovery Sophia.

SN moderat … now that we know she will need to be treated overseas ….is there anyway you can get in touch with the Minister of Health to see if he can have this woman taken aboard the United States Amphibious Assault Ship, the USS Kearsarge that is currently in the North West District for a proper diagnostic examination.. This ship is equipped with some of the most sophistiacte medical equipment. It is right there in your backyard …why not utilized it now before it is too late. Time is of the essence. Just a suggestion.

I am so sick and tired of what is going on in guyana i think the laws should be changed regarding the abuse of women. The govt should step in and re write the laws so that women can be protected from such crimes. it is not today that women in guyana have been abuse this was happening for the last 30 years and the govt allows the culprit to escape or just give them a slap on the wrist. Shame on the Govt that countinue to do nothing about this . Women group should come together and speak out against this

I see in Sophia a human side, I see in Sophia a child of 2 parents and a sister, I see in Sophia another woman that an injustice was perpetuated against. Unlike us men, women have very limited options when it comes to fighting back against injustices. Only on a few occasions women are known to retaliate against their attackers. This is where the law comes in. It is said that their strength lies at their mouth, Surprisingly, it is the same mouth that can utter soft and sweet words to comfort and encourage men. Men are known to remember voices and sounds of women more than they do for other men, whether it is a laugh or a cry; it is just the way we were made.
Having said this, I wish Sophia a successful operation. I can guarantee you that once it is over, Sophia would not be the same person in regards of the way she sees others. She would probably want to take a second look at her attacker; a man with whom she once shared her life and contributed to his happiness.

This man epitomises a coward and an excuse for human kind. When he is found the other bullet that he said was for him should be used successfully. I hope this young mother recovers and is able to take care of her child.

I said and I am saying again..these women contribute to their brutality..if they take a stance for the first abuse then it will never go on..These men beat them and then apoligised and they continue with them. My belief and records shows that as soon as a man hits a woman once and she accepts it and continue in that relationship..it is a series to come and that is when it ends up like this. These women needs to be more open, to share their experiences with others do not be ashamed…speeeeeak out….

Hey guys, I know many of you gona want to kill me for this view!!
every one is on the woman’s side, but you know, it is not easy to be rejected by the other family and things of such. Now, please do not think I am saying he was right to shoot her and chop her, but as I see this, this guy was not only rejected by this girl’s family, but by her also. Indeed he need to be thought a lesson, but would like to hear his side of the story first.
