to collect blood splatters

"Yup. Can’t save a woman with a taste for violent men."

=================

No woman deserves to be hit. Or murdered in this case.

We don't know the mental or emotional condition of the victim in this violent act; we don't know the financial situation she might have been in or what options she had.

The activist group may have facilitated the crime by helping him to make bail, but what we know for sure is:

--The perp did the killing.

--The victim did the dying.

The people that paid his bail should be charged as accessories.

> No woman deserves to be hit.

That’s absolutely ridiculous Commie tripe.

A woman who deliberately eschews peaceful men in favor of violent criminals does in fact deserve the consequences, every bit as much as the criminal who hits her deserves to be punished.

Barbaric and uncivilized female behavior gets excused as a matter of course these days and that practice has only accelerated the trend of civilizational collapse.

Women are every bit as responsible for their behavior as men are.

Apologies to the Kingston Trio.

prison songs....

So here I am in St. Louie Jail

Ain’t got no frie-ends to go my bail

So here I’ll sta-ay ‘cause I can’t pay

Just five hundred dollars and they’ll set me free

I couldn’t raise a penny if ya threatened me

I know five hundred don’t sound like much

But just try to find somebody to touch....

Lawdy, lawdy, thank you so much,
After I see my wife, I’ll be in touch

We had a prisoner that got early release when Brown started cutting them all loose because of crowding. Within 2 days his ex was dead. She was pregnant by another guy and had moved on.

I watched a female reporter approach Omar Sharif one time at a hotel. He didn’t like her tone and slapped her but good.

Women routinely get away with saying things that would get a man’s teeth deservedly knocked out.

After reading the article, I actually understand. Had he had the funds he would have gotten out anyway. He had not been convicted yet. I just bet this is not the first time he’d abused her. My sympathies to this woman’s friends and family.

“Mr. Scott, a 54-year-old father, was charged with a misdemeanor, and if he’d just been wealthy enough to afford his bail he would have been free in either case. Moments like this are devastating, but it’s important not to lose sight of the larger injustices of cash bail and the need for reform.”

The organization is part of a national nonprofit that bails out people who are jailed before being convicted of a crime if they cannot afford to post bail themselves. It’s been operating in St. Louis since January 2018.

The program’s proponents say it saves hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on housing detainees, and spares those arrested but not convicted from job loss, custody issues, suicide, sexual victimization and other consequences of time behind bars.”
