Are Women Getting Away With Murder?

Woman Sentenced to Firing Squad

U.S. Woman Sentenced to Firing Squad For Husband's Slaying On New Year's Day this year, Mark Thompson was found dead - his body battered and badly burnt. In July, a court in Oman - with the input of an Omani religious leader - convicted Rebecca and Derrick of murder. Two 17-year-old Omani boys, accused of being their hired accomplices, were convicted too.

Needless to say, the argument is now being put forward that the dead husband was a wife-beater of some sort. And, twenty years ago, I would have swallowed this argument whole, simply on the basis of a few 'facts'; e.g. some evidence that the husband had hit her often in the past, or something like that.

Now, however, I doubt very much that the husband was the main cause of their relationship problems.

Maybe he did hit her. Maybe he could cope with her no longer. Who knows?

But the fact that she seems to have had him killed tells us a great deal about HER!.

As Erin Pizzey said, "Most of the women arriving at the refuge centres were MORE violent, even toward their children, than were the men they were supposedly escaping from."

where there is mutual violence in the home, the women themselves are often the main culprits.

In other words, where there is mutual violence in the home, the women themselves are often the main culprits. And the evidence that I have seen over the past 20 years or so suggests very strongly indeed that women who kill their partners are not, in general, the weeping wallflowers that the feminists like to portray them to be.

Far from it.

They are often very violent, very manipulative, and impossible to deal with. And they really know how to provoke and to hurt people.

Just one example of how this is covered up by the feminist media was when the BBC interviewed Emma Humphreys soon after she was released early from prison.

Emma Humphreys (a cause celebre for the feminists in the UK) had served some time in prison for killing her boyfriend. But, following vociferous claims from various wimmin's groups that she had acted in self-defence against his violence, she was released.

When she was interviewed by the BBC on Radio 4 she had been out of prison only for ten days. And yet she admitted that she was already in another abusive relationship with a man who 'slapped her about' frequently.

Further, she stated that love and abuse were part and parcel of each other, and that you couldn't have one without the other. "If he doesn't hit you then he doesn't love you."

The interview was cut short at this point with a very embarrassed female interviewer having to cover for the missing time. The feminist-indoctrinated BBC did not want listeners to hear that Emma Humphreys might not, in fact, have been the innocent victim that they had continually claimed her to be.

the BBC decided that to deceive its audience

As is typical, the BBC decided that to deceive its audience - in order to support the feminist view that all women are victims - was far more important than letting the people hear the truth.

And this 'cover-up' about the true nature of most women who kill their partners has been going on for a very long time.

Fundamentally, and in general, women who kill their partners are not usually the 'weak and defenceless' type - though the public is being trained to see them in this way. Some of them are, for sure, but the evidence seems to show that it is very rare for 'weak and defenceless' women to kill anybody.

Finally, the feminist-dominated media, such as the BBC, will always try to stir up male hatred whatever the situation and whatever the figures show. It is male hatred that underpins everything that they say and do. And in the case of intimate-partner homicides, the men who kill their partners are demonised, and so are the men who are killed by their partners.

Whatever men do - even if they are killed - the feminists will stir up hatred towards them.

No Jail For Woman Killer

No Jail For Woman Killer A woman who stabbed her husband to death with the knife she was using to make his sandwiches is beginning a three-year community rehabilitation order.

Mrs Keningale moved towards her husband, the court was told, intending to slap him to stop him shouting, but her husband laughed. That was when she picked up the knife ...

She was going to slap him, eh? This somewhat proves that she did not fear him - which suggests that he could not have been as 'abusive' throughout their relationship as she claimed.

Indeed, she was going to slap him because he was shouting.

Can anyone really believe that a woman who slaps a man because he is shouting actually lives in fear of him?

The whole notion is unbelievable.

Furthermore, not only did this woman feel able to slap this man while he was shouting at her, she also picks up a knife.

And.

She.

Kills.

And yet the court decides that he - the dead man - was the abusive one in the relationship.

Indeed, she might even be given an award for bravery by Cherie Blair - as was given to Kiranjit Ahluwalia

Can you imagine how women would feel if they lived in a world wherein groups of men cheered and applauded those men who had killed their wives? - e.g. see the short piece entitled Loose Women.

Well. This is exactly the kind of psychological sh#thole that western men have had to endure for so long.

Sara Thornton

Sara Thornton was jailed for life in 1990 for the murder of her alcoholic husband. The judge said she could have walked out of her 10-month abusive marriage at any time

But she was released after a few years following a well-orchestrated hoohah by feminists in the media and in academia. They alleged that Sara Thornton was the real victim because she was suffering from battered-wife syndrome.

Here is what I wrote on the matter - about ten years ago.

Sara Thornton, 38, from Warwickshire, was freed from prison last week pending an appeal against the conviction of murder that she received in June 1989 for the killing of her 44 year old husband Malcolm to whom she had been married for only 10 months. She had plunged a carving knife into him while he lay asleep on the sofa.

A previous appeal in 1991 against the conviction on the grounds that she had suffered continued domestic violence from Malcolm was turned down by the judges because there had been 'no sudden and temporary loss of control' when she committed the act of murder. Indeed, at the original trial, her actions had been described as 'cold and calculating'.

Malcolm Thornton, an ex-policeman, had been married on two previous occasions.

His first wife, Moyra Friend, who was married to him for 14 years, admitted that Malcolm used to drink a lot but also stated that 'there was never the slightest violence. People don't change that much, and don't forget that I knew him much longer than she did'.

Malcolm's second wife Anne, 41, said, 'I spent seven years with Malcolm, and he was not a violent man. I firmly believe that if there was any provocation it came from Sara.'

'I never saw him violent.'

Malcolm's older sister who had known him for all of his 44 years of life said, 'I never saw him violent.'

According to Alex Kirsta (a feminist writer who has conducted a great deal of research into female violence) other evidence which is of great relevance to this case include the facts that ...

1.     Sara Thornton was judged to have had a personality disorder in her teens.

2.     She was sufficiently disruptive that she was asked to leave her school at age 16.

3.     As a younger woman she had often attempted to commit suicide.

4.     She had once been a patient in a hospital under the Mental Health Act.

5.     Four days before the murder, Sara Thornton had told a colleague that she was going to kill Malcolm.

6.     The following day she had fed Malcolm pieces of chicken into which she had implanted ground-up tranquilisers.

7.     Just prior to his murder, Malcolm had told Sara that he wanted a divorce.

8.     Malcolm's son Martin testified how obsessed Sara had become with the thought that she might lose the house and some money if Malcolm divorced her.

9.     Some hours before the murder, Sara had scrawled, 'Bastard Thornton, I hate you,' in lipstick on the bedroom mirror.

10. Sara had actually gone into the kitchen to sharpen the carving knife she was about to plunge into him.

11. When Martin, Malcolm's son, came down to the living room when he had heard his father's screams, Sara, without any emotion, simply stated that she had killed him.

12. When the police and the ambulance arrived she was reported to have told the team, 'I don't know why you are bothering. Let him die.'

Sara Thornton was no battered wife. She was an aggressive, vindictive psychopath who destroyed Malcolm's life within a year of meeting him - in my view.
