...because of course the logic behind "tougher penalties for honour killings" must surely be the same logic that lies behind hate crime legislation.
As for myself, I don't know. If a fairly rigorous definition of an honour killing can be given, then maybe. Trouble is, the word gets tossed around rather wildly. The thing in Kingston sounds as a bit like a guy bumping off his wife for a younger woman, a crime which is not culture specific.
Wow. Those are just words.
ReplyDeleteWhat, exactly, is he going to do? These people are already charged with first degree murder which results in a life sentence.
You're implying the speechies are consistent with reason and logic?
ReplyDeleteDon't be absurd. The speechies can argue for and against the exact same position, often within the same sentence.
What I do suggest is that we make sentencing really punitive for anyone killing a speechy.
same type.It is time they went by the Country's laws, not their own.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes you think anyone is letting anyone get away with rape and murder?
You bigoted morons and your monomania with respect to isolated events. If you're worried about law and order, there are thousands (and in the US, hundreds of thousands) of acts of violence that can be attributed to all kinds of reasons that are fundamental to *our* culture.
You're early, Paul S. D'you go AWOL from your rubber room?
ReplyDeleteNow, now BCL. No need to descend to ti's level; that's his job to roll around in the manure.
ReplyDeleteWe don't need a separate law for so-called "honour killings." First-degree murder will do just fine.
ReplyDeleteHow the hell is that being an "apologist for honour killings?" Who is this nutbar, BCL?
wv="boarg" Yeah, I know, resistance is futile.
Dr. Dawg,
ReplyDeleteI'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but we might also charge someone with hate crimes over an assault, rather than just laying an assault charge. Why not do something similar if we could all agree on what amounts to an honour killing?
"How the hell is that being an "apologist for honour killings?" Who is this nutbar, BCL?"
ReplyDeleteDid you read BCL's post? This was just a bit o' domestic violence. Nothing more.
If you expect the left to even consider that this may have been an honour killing, you are mistaken. Silence on the subject will rule the day.
Fortunately, the left's tactic of using our HRC's to silence any and all critical comment of Islam has failed.
Who is this nutbar, BCL?"
ReplyDeleteCheck out Paul S. at Desmogblog. It's his best work. His trolling here has been desultory, at best. Standard wingnut fare: Climate change denialism and liar for freedom o' Speech. Silent on the gays, though.
You forgot to mention that not only was "a guy bumping off his wife for a younger woman", but that he had help from his son and another wife, and that there were other victims including 3 daughters. Now you don't often hear of a crime like that in a non-Muslim "Western" cultural setting.
ReplyDeleteOr do those uncomfortable facts get in the way of your f****ed-up, immoral and dishonest logic?
