re: #136 Obdicut

What are you talking about? I cannot understand for the life of me why you’re passively-aggressively accusing me of saying honor killings don’t exist or something.

Honor killings exist. This isn’t an honor killing. This is a family annihilator killing, something we have lots of in the US. We have lots of other kinds of murder too— more than any other first world country.

We have more killing of kids under the age of five than any other country (except, of course, those countries where they practice female infanticide) and most of those killings are by the parents of the child.

Killing a spouse or ex-spouse, often over infidelity, is one of the main causes of murder in the US, and a lot of people get reduced sentences for doing so do to the heat of the moment, the passion that we tend to feel excuses murder.

Yes Obdi, I addressed this case early on.

I specifically noted this was not an honor killing. My subsequent remarks were about honor killings.

Not annihilators.
