I think the first honor killing in this country was Palestina “Tina” Isa in St Louis in 1989. Her Palestinian father stabbed her to death while her Brazilian mother held her down. Her sins? She was a 17 yr old honor student who had a black boyfriend and had just gotten a job at McDonalds. The parents said she attacked them with a knife, but an unattended FBI wire-tap caught the whole thing on audio tape.
I read about that incident in Ronald Kessler’s book.
The FBI couldn’t do anything about it because it was a wiretap and they didn’t want to let on that they were listening in and/or other legal concerns.
In hindsight now, I do doubt if it was the first.
Well guess what! This idiot father dishonors our American way of life, so I suggest our country “honor kills” him at the point of a needle.
