The gruesome discovery spoke to a ghastly crime.

On the afternoon of July 20, someone using a waterfront trail in Alameda spotted a large garbage bag wrapped in duct tape that smelled as if it was full of dead fish from the bay. When responding officers looked inside, they found the dismembered remains of a young woman whose head, hands and feet had been removed.

And I can't seem to find a conservative anywhere who will condemn the murder of a woman by another conservative. Strange. It's almost like they don't see women as completely human.

[–] themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They don't. But also conservatives wouldn't condemn murder of a man either, they're just hypocrites.

It's aspirational. The biblical god created man in His image. The Bible documents god murdering over 2 million people.

Thwy literally harassed kids in school who were survivors of mass shootings. If they don't care about kids they won't care about adults.

I think generally to be conservative your mindset must be that you and your immediate family are important, everyone else is lesser, expendable, and pretty much only exists to meet your ends (or get in your way)

[–] artisanrox@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your wife is just there to make more of "you" though.

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Shit. Good point.

Also sexual assault.

He earned entry to law school, won elected office in San Francisco and was featured in sympathetic coverage by national media outlets including ABC and USA Today, who allowed him to explain how his life was nearly ruined due to women making false allegations against him

It's not enough that we don't believe women, but then instead platform potential sex pests (at the very least) for being accused of sex crimes. The epitome of rape culture, that leads to the deaths and abuse of countless women.

E: while my initial comment stands, the more I read about this guy, the worse it gets - he had stalked an ex (and was abusing both ex and last wife who he later murdered), and was barred from campus, but at least one of the women he claimed falsely accused him leading to the expulsion didn't even know what he was talking about.
He's basically fighting windmills of his own making in an attempt to deflect from his own behaviour, like so many abusers do, but he definitely took it to the next level with a publicity tour and being poster boy for MRAs.
The sad reality is that Rachel might have been saved if we didn't exist in a world that ignores all of the warning signs of gendered violence.

The title made me think that it was Trump that dismembered a girl and I thought “… Yeah that’s believable”

[–] PFShady@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Right? Figured I best read that article because I have to be missing something.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's absurd: this is what he has lackeys for.

In December 2020, Roberts posted an unusual photo on social media. He wore a tuxedo as he posed with San Francisco Mayor London Breed, and he said they had dined together at the exclusive French Laundry restaurant in the Napa Valley.

Jeff Cretan, a spokesperson for Breed, said such a dinner never happened and that the photo was from a San Francisco Symphony event. Roberts, Cretan said, had approached the mayor at a few different events.

MAGA are scum. I detest our prison system, but I hope they throw away the key.

Infected her then told all his buddies she infected him. This is a pattern of behavior in the general area. Source: a friend worked at a public clinic that treats STIs in the general vicinity, they have thousands of documented cases of treating men, who then later return with their main partner to be retested and retreated, and blame their partners in front of the same professional who treated the men a week or less, before.

This is not race, education, income or age specific, either. White men in gated retirement communities are the current highest infection rates for five years running (no pun intended).

This is not race... or age specific either.

White men in gated retirement communities are the current highest infection rates for five years running

Am I misreading this? That sounds race and age specific, and obviously gender also.

Just because that’s the largest demographic doesn’t make it the only demographic. I forget how much higher the numbers are, but I believe during that conversation it was single digit percentage. It is also the fastest growing group. I’m guessing wife passed, and loneliness but that’s purely conjecture.
