This is getting ridiculous. In a thread that I genuinely could not see how anyone could ever find a way to justify his behaviour we have male apologists seeking to minimise and deflect ( by the way stop using the fucking excuse that you have sons , so do I and a male partner it is not an excuse to witter your ridiculous attempts to find a way to put them on a pedestal.) Actually on that note , if there was a predator in my area and the police put men on lockdown I would have no issue that it meant my DP and DC. Because I would feel the same if I had a DD. We are ok telling our daughters to be safe and not go out at night blah blah blah why is it different with male children.
I don't agree Men equal a higher liklihood of violence I damn well do agree they are given an entitlement to it by a world that assumes we can't possibly hold them accountable in the same way we do women.
We even got to blaming his female partner. What the actual fuck. Are we really that far gone? Is this really what we have become. Seeking desperately to protect a group of people who have this many violent offences to them?
No of course I don't expect my DP or my sons to ever do anything like this....but that doesn't mean I get to look away when it's happening to another woman, because that could be me, or my Dsis or my Dn.
Just once, for God's sake just once can we just hold him accountable. Sabinas attacker too. (For those trying to turn it into picking and choosing who we care about its fucking not. I'm gutted for Sabina and her family too. I am angry I am raging for her however you look at it a police officer using his power is fucking terrifying. As is the asshole that decided Sabina was fucking disposable ).
There's posts trying to manipulate this to their own agenda about anti Trans rights which genuinely makes me feel sick that any MN poster thinks it was ok to coopt this awful situation to attempt to make a stupid comment about self id if someone asked for a WPC. What is wrong with you to use a women's death like this , that has no palpable connection to trans issues at all.
Just once can we say No. Enough. As a United voice. Just once can we say We don't care anymore about their mental health issues or their trauma or anything else.
He needs to be held accountable to the full extent of the law. The law needs to show us we matter and they are protecting us. The same needs to happen for Sabinas attacker. The police need to admit that as an agency , not the individual police officers , were wrong. They let women down
The systems were wrong.
I just want to hear one of those people say it. Say you failed. Say you were wrong. Say you are culpable and change. I sp sick of the excuses.
I'm am so done with every women who justifies this, backhanded or otherwise or deflects it or coopts it to fit their own agenda. Stop looking for the nearest women to blame.
Actually who am I kidding. The pick me's will still dance. The violence will continue and we will stay play our roles. I give up , I truly give up.
