In 1991, Michigan man Gregory Green stabbed his wife in the face and chest, killing her and their unborn child. Then, he called 911 and waited for police to come.

Too bad the responding police didn't shoot him dead in 1991. Would have been a big outcry about police shooting down unarmed young black men but look at all of the tragedy that would have been prevented.

Somehow I knew before I even looked.

I do feel sorry for the kids though. The woman, not so much.

There is such denial in the black community about the killers among them. Put OJ at the top of the list.

Difficult to understand his motivation? I understand it. He’s pure evil. As for being mentally incompetent, he was competent enough to rig that car so the kids would die of carbon monoxide poisoning.

That pastor must be quite proud of himself now. Moron.

>His prison record provided nearly no trace of violence, no hint that years after he would be released, he would commit crimes more brutal than the first.

Stupid people can’t see the obvious. You murder once, you should never get another chance. The pastor should be in jail too.

During the sentencing hearing, Harris-Green, wearing a white turtleneck, spoke to her children’s killer, perhaps for the last time. “You are a con artist. You are a monster. You are a devil in disguise. You are now forever exposed,” she said as she stood behind a podium in a Wayne County courtroom.”

Actually he was forever exposed in 1991 when he killed the first time. Your lack of empathy for the first victim and your hubris got the better of you.

There’s a complete denial about their basic criminality.
Same goes for “Hispanics”.

They all deflect, distract, and distort to try to pin their problems on somebody else.

Under specific circumstances, unique to every individual, we are all capable of killing another person, or facilitating their demise. Most of us either learn to suppress that line of thinking at very young ages, and others simply never encounter a situation that would remotely call for such a response.

Then there are other people, ostensibly intelligent , empathetic and fully functional, but people with a lust for the act of killing. If they are fortunate, they sublimate the impulse, learn to go game hunting for deer, pheasant or bear. Some may shoot a few weapons at a firing range and feel fulfilled. If such a person with that inner bloodlust is not so fortunate, not so in control of their real world actions, you get something like what happened here. Cold blooded murder. Killing with absolutely no purpose, except that the target was present and vulnerable.

If this man had received more extensive treatment, perhaps a partial lobotomy may have been able to excise that more primitive, reptilian part of his brain that
leads to this conclusion, over and over.

Oh just another mishap like her father stated when this man killed his first wife.

Ugh.

I don’t think killing another human being is natural. In non-psychopaths there is a strong in-built resistance to deliberately ending another human’s life. Tools such as guns make it easier by providing some psychological distance between the act and the consequence, far more so than strangling someone with your bare hands would.

Even then, most soldiers in WWI and WWII, trained to shoot round targets, supposedly deliberately aimed to miss when they fired at the enemy, which is why they reformed miltary training after the war to include person-shaped targets and other techniques to artificially inoculate them to the psychological resistance to the act of killing other human beings.

I’d put it somewhat differently, OJ was set free by the jury because his murder victims were white.

You siad:
Multiple Darwin Awards here.

I say:
You are SO wrong! There are pending Darwin awards for the pastor and the vile murderer, but certainly not for the innocent children!

Sorry, just had to say that.

Been there, done that.

A lot of women have what's called a "rescue fantasy." That's the idea that with the power of their love and affection, they can turn a "bad boy" into a "good husband," and have a lot of fun sex while doing it.

This is alluded to in the "kiss the frog and turn him into a prince" story, as well as (obviously) the "Beauty And The Beast" story line.

I see it developing in my own daughter, who is 16. She has a very strong desire to save the world, to "make the world a better place" in some indefinite way.

If this desire gets linked up with (a) romantic desire, (b) teenage rebellion, and (c) an attractive rogue con man, the results are very hard to stop. Impossible, typically.

All I can say to you is the advice I wish I had been smart enough to think of thirty years ago: Poland, my boy. Poland.
