Stabbing a Mennonite!?!? That’s like stabbing Ghandi or Mother Teresa. Not much of a chance of retaliation.

And what is it with homosexuals and stabbing. I know of a theater directer who was stabbed to death in his bedroom and when I heard former defense attorneys, prosecutors, and police talk about it, they all said of the victim, “I didn’t know he was gay.”

“And what is it with homosexuals and stabbing.”

Well, stabbing is literally “penetration”, so it’s a sexually loaded method of killing. You have to get close to someone to do it, and get messy, so it is very personal too. Sexually disordered sociopaths often prefer that method, because they fetishize the sexual connotations.

If you are interested, look up the terms “piquerism” or “paraphilia”, there’s a bunch of information about the phenomenon out there.

In "Game of Thrones" there is an amusing scene in which two knights discuss noble King Renly and his very good friend Ser Loras. Known as the Knight of the Flowers, Loras is a formidable warrior, as the first knight says.

"Really?" says the second knight. "He's been stabbing Renly for years, and the King's not dead yet, so how good can he be?"
