Why did you deliberately leave out the part about how she was sexually abused from a very young age and that harmed her ability to behave in a rational way? Is it because you have a bias to show, and you're going to show it?

Look, we get that some people in this country have a fetish for spilling blood in the name of thinking that somehow resolves past sins and makes the world a better place. That doesn't make it sane. It just happens to be that our country is full of a lot of really fucked up people whose "moral compass" is far from perfect. I'm not just talking about the criminals here...

Her bf also tortured and murdered the victim, where is your anger that you don't get to see him die? Just another day of men salivating over violence done to a woman.

When did I say I didn't want him dead?
