You’re breaking out two different extremes. At this point, I feel like I’m cooking for people who don’t like to eat...but here goes.

I’m glad to see the depth of your logical thinking. What is your proof that I never talked to the guy and never saw those videos? Not hearsay, but proof.

Yes. I would kill Paul Bernardo. Also, if we don’t look at how and why she ended up there, then we’re the fools. We’re the people who are supposed to be all up in arms about the treatment of women...but holy fuck are we quick to throw them under the bus when it gets *hard*.

Don’t worry, I absolutely understand the emotion. The people that were closest to it are focused and very much entitled to the rage they feel. I’m not being trite at all.

I bring no proof. I’m searching through my wallet to see what I *owe* you. I’ll get back to you when I find something.

It’s not my job to do your research. But it sure is easy for you to throw out an opinion. Imagine that.

Sincere, without a shadow of a hesitation. I know it’s hard to see...but it IS why I’m taking the stand I’m taking. Obviously not because it makes me Mr. Popular.

Her release had many conditions.

.... I’m very sorry for what you went through. I do hope you are no longer in that situation. Be strong.

See below... my reply to DeccaLeChat. Not blowing you off, just that I specifically address that.

I’m getting really tired responding. That’s no rhetoric — I’ve been doing it for hours and I’m genuinely getting sleepy.

That’s an actual argument and one that shouldn’t be ignored. My personal opinion, and it is just that, is that Violent Serial Rapists escalate - as Bernardo did before Karla, and that escalated into Murder.

Don’t even know where to start. I guess... at the beginning:

Can you show me a case where that happened?

Do I think she tried to cover her ass? Yeah. Absolutely. The husband was Paul Bernardo, who remains in jail for having been the scarborough rapist and was the man who beat Karla within an inch of her life and made her eat his shit.

My words stand. If you did something horrific at the hands of an abuser. A male abuser that made you eat his feces and caved in your face with a flashlight and forced you to do unspeakable things. Yeah. I’d be right here. For you. Even if you tell me now you wouldn’t want that? I’d be here anyway.

I didn’t assume. I worried about your possible futures - and then hoped, out loud, that they weren’t your possible futures.

Which is why, after getting beaten by a flashlight until her face was caved in.... she served 12 years. What, may I ask, would you ask of a woman who suffered hospitalization from abuse and eventually turned and testified against her abuser? Just curious - how many years balance out the abuse of a woman and the…

Aww... you can do better than that. When did you see the tapes, by the way?

You’re cute. Would it make you all warm and comfy in your bubble if I were Karla? I can pretend. But the belly, lack of boobies and the penis make it difficult.
