Sadly, if a certain person brought this argument to the Supreme Court, they would agree with this logic.
Sound flogic there
Violence against women is so common you need a gimmick to get national attention for a spree-killing.
In his defense violence in general has kinda been a problem for a long time now so you do kinda need a gimmick after a bit to be notable. Kinda like how due to lake Mead having low water folks are finding a lot of bodies, that one in general kinda got glanced over weirdly fast though I guess it was kinda expected.
It’s truly fucked up that I shared this headline with my partner and we both chuckled. I mean, it’s gallows humor. But we’re in the most fucked up timeline and we just have to accept it. I try to make the world a better place, but I’m just one person and accepting the awful reality is less soul-crushing.
Both of your hearts are in the right place. That's a lot. Cherish that.
"Nah, dat didn't hit right. Imma try again."
A man who stabbed his wife to death "felt bad" about the murder,
On one hand, remorse can be used as a factor in reduced sentences.
On the other hand, I kinda feel like it having just led to another homicide isn't gonna be doing that guy's defense lawyer any favors.
You know what they say, “in for a penny, in for a pound.” Might as well get your time’s worth out of your prison sentence.
Classic, trying to fix problem one and digging yourself into a bigger hole
So...is he single?
One deserved murder, for one undeserved.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
