To be so upset

[Hangaggage]

By the news details regarding Sarah Everard? The whole awful situation and story keeps playing in my head over again. I just feel heartbroken for her family and for her. I didn’t know her. I just can’t stop thinking about her and what that piece of scum did. Another precious life ruined by the cruelest trickery snd subterfuge of a male wanting to satisfy his pathetic fantasies. He’s ruined so many peoples’ lives. Sarah’s life, her family’s and his own wife and little children. The deception and trickery involved is sickening.

It is very upsetting. I came across the victim impact statement her mum gave, and was only a few lines through before crying. I think it has touched a lot of people.
Raising awareness of male on female violence needs to happen, although it will be harder for the family to grieve with all the media attention. However, there have been relatively similar cases that have gone barely unnoticed, or unmentioned by the media, which much be equally devastating for the families, in feeling that the world doesn't care.
Of course yanbu to find it upsetting, it is yet another reminder of how cruel, unpredictable, and fleeting life can be. However, feelings can be channelled in a helpful, or unhelpful, way.

It is upsetting, of course it is. This isn't just a male violence problem though, it is a police problem. Why not channel your energy into campaigning for changes to policing? Share information on self defence or your rights on arrest. Do something to honour her memory and to help stop this happening again.

Any murder is a wasted life - sadly there are typically around 700 murders annually in the UK; the figures are broadly similar across a number of years.
WHilst I don't condone violence against women, or indeed their murder, it's worth noting that around two thirds of UK murder victims are male. I find the current focus on these two murders as some kind of epidemic of violence against women quite distateful - any murder is abhorrent, regardless of the gencer ot the victim.

Completely agree with suggestions of channelling feelings more positively in to actually doing something useful. I will look in to it. Thank you 🙏

You are not wrong.

This whole case has exposed just how much of a blind eye is turned to people who so clearly are a danger. His nickname alone should be enough to get any police officer who used it 'jokingly' disciplined.

I am beyond furious that the police laugh about rape
