I thought most people at least made some attempt to get away with it.

I dunno, the broadcasting it to the cops (and then pleading not guilty) doesn’t suggest someone with rational self-interest in mind.

There’s some pretty fucked up shit here for sure. Murders funny as long as there is no rape? Don’t think murder is good fodder for jokes? Must be an MRA. Because a real feminist is supposed to just give other ladies a pass? It’s crazy.

There’s been a LOT of academic literature about geospatial technologies being a tool of the state, particularly for suppression or mis-representation. I think we (meaning geography wonks) could do a better job of highlighting how the technology can be used for counter-authoritative purposes and actually be used to…

People know they can just... break up, right? Sure, it’s messy and most of the time it’s a pain in the ass to divide the DVD collection but you can just break up, you guys.

Her last line sounds like bullshit -

I agree with you that the jokes here are in extremely bad taste. However, the explanation could simply be that it’s disturbingly common for women to be killed by men who couldn’t take a no, whereas the murder of a man by a psychopathic girlfriend/wife is extremely uncommon.

In a river as deep as the Hudson, pulling that plug, over time, is certainly going to sink his kayak to the bottom. Not wearing a life vest is the cardinal sin. That’s on him.

That said - this woman is a lunatic.

“She also confessed to taking Viafore’s paddle away from him after his kayak capsized — Viafore was not wearing a life vest and was holding on to the paddle to stay afloat, DeQuarto said.”

WTF? There are so many exits along the relationship highway between “No, I will not have a threesome with your coworker” and “Murder”. Most of them lead to DTMFA, but a few lead to relationship counseling. She had options.

Break up, new haircut, therapy, vacation, move on.

It’s always interesting to me how those in Jezebel comments would make jokes about a woman killing a man, yet if the roles were reversed it would most certainly be no laughing matter.

How come whenever there is a story about a man potentially murdering his wife the comments are filled with Margaret Atwood quotes but when it’s a woman potentially killing her husband it’s all jokes?

She would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for that meddling stupidity.

I live in Texas. The republican women I know mostly don’t work, don’t want to work, and love the lord. It’s not hard for them to reconcile at all.

Yeah, the “struggles” of privileged as shit, rich-ass women like her. The thing is, money does a helluva job insulating people from real problems and hardships that others face. People like this think, “Well I’m fine. I did it. I’m successful. I never had that problem, so it can’t be real and if anyone is complaining…

You should meet my wife.

It’s almost like she’s a rich, white feminist...

The pro-Trump feminist also seems to fail to realize that Muslim women and undocumented women are also women. Fiorina’s feminism seems to concern itself with the struggles of a very select group of women (and even so it’s hard to see how she can support Trump).

anna, if you do hear from desiree, please let her know that there are quite a few jezzies who want to help by starting a gofundme page for her legal fees if that’s something she’d be interested in.
