But look at the description of how he murdered each victim, I mean using a new born as cover.
Yeah.. I dunno. People mistreat babies all the time too. I sort of believe the theory that men don't finish mentally developing until in their late twenties. Until that point, we take chances and act like cunts to people, because that's what drives reproduction and material acquisition. A Clockwork Orange stuff - what do we do with young men? Dangerous driving, football violence, fights in pubs, gangs. At twenty two... are you as dangerous now as you were then? Take as many chances? Or do you take care of yourself and others a bit more carefully these days. He might have been about few years away from settling down quite a bit. Still definitely a problem, he's pretty out there in not protecting the baby. But the sex drive in young men is a thing.
The question, is it safe now? I really don't know. I knew a guy who worked in a therapeutic regime style prison for people with psychological things of a similair nature. He said he really didn't believe they were actually able to change these people.
There's another twist to that story that makes the whole thing a bit of a laugh, I can't share it, but lets say, I don't really rate the psychological thing that highly, it's contradictory and flawed and complicated, it'll let people off and mess up others by going at it wrong... it's all beaurocracy, beaurocrats and doctors and therapists and patients and prisoners... and they're all just people, with their own ambitions and points of view... and it's all very laughable really that we expect it to work much if at all. But it is all we've got.
I don't know. He's what, 35 years older. I'm not saying any more than, he might have got himself sorted out. I can quite believe it. All I do know for sure is, people will spit furiously at it for their own reasons, and the politicians will make capital out of it. Whereas they need to stop playing to the gallery, and get law and order working again. But all they do is signal that the law works for one lot, and not the other, because that's politics, public opinion.
I kind of laughed this morning when the BBC flashed up that Boris had made a statement that Dowdon's suspension was 'too harsh' - I knew with all certainty at that moment there was some bad Tory news coming. It's virtue signalling. The virtue being 'tough on pedos'. Don't worry about lefties coming for you! Boris knows who you are and will keep you very safe from the lefties. Fucking laugh my arse off, it's not that it's all in your head, but it's just a masterclass in manipulating the brain dead, whilst letting law and order itself go to rot by cutting funding for police, attacking judges, and interfering with institutions.
Use your fucking brain. There's a way out of this. Look around you. Any safer now than a decade ago? The only way out is for people to use their fucking brain, and not our feeling, our silly fears, or our pride. Everyone has a right to get angry at life. And there are reasons to be scared and upset at various groups, and to call them out. But we've got to be honest doing that well means putting aside our feelings when asking politicians to sort out the law, the economy, crime and punishment. People are after quick fixes that suit them, and often for the pettiest of reasons. That's why the politicians and politics works the way it does. Because that's what people ask, when they forget to think about what really is needed. Every quick fix, every public signalling, it's just taking us further and further away from what works. Which is good, solid, educated and ruthlessly debated laws, a well funded and motivated police force not subject to the dictats of whicever minister needs to get a win in the papers. Prosecutions services who don't bend with every political moment or every new trait, who will prosecute anyone, for anything, if the law requires it and it's practical and worth it. And a judiciary that isn't interfered with, judges and courts as much as possible not influenced by anything beyond the cases and the books would mean.
We get what we ask for. Which is absolute tosh that changes from moment to moment, according to how a story is reported, or how people feel. Stop asking for this case or that case, this one has to stay in forever. Stop asking them to make you feel better. You're not a child. Ask for the stuff that makes the law work. That's your adult responsibility.
