The gruesome discovery spoke to a ghastly crime.

On the afternoon of July 20, someone using a waterfront trail in Alameda spotted a large garbage bag wrapped in duct tape that smelled as if it was full of dead fish from the bay. When responding officers looked inside, they found the dismembered remains of a young woman whose head, hands and feet had been removed.

    And I can’t seem to find a conservative anywhere who will condemn the murder of a woman by another conservative. Strange. It’s almost like they don’t see women as completely human.

      They don’t. But also conservatives wouldn’t condemn murder of a man either, they’re just hypocrites.

        It’s aspirational. The biblical god created man in His image. The Bible documents god murdering over 2 million people.

        Thwy literally harassed kids in school who were survivors of mass shootings. If they don’t care about kids they won’t care about adults.

      I think generally to be conservative your mindset must be that you and your immediate family are important, everyone else is lesser, expendable, and pretty much only exists to meet your ends (or get in your way)

    He earned entry to law school, won elected office in San Francisco and was featured in sympathetic coverage by national media outlets including ABC and USA Today, who allowed him to explain how his life was nearly ruined due to women making false allegations against him

    It’s not enough that we don’t believe women, but then instead platform potential sex pests (at the very least) for being accused of sex crimes. The epitome of rape culture, that leads to the deaths and abuse of countless women.

    E: while my initial comment stands, the more I read about this guy, the worse it gets - he had stalked an ex (and was abusing both ex and last wife who he later murdered), and was barred from campus, but at least one of the women he claimed falsely accused him leading to the expulsion didn’t even know what he was talking about.
    He’s basically fighting windmills of his own making in an attempt to deflect from his own behaviour, like so many abusers do, but he definitely took it to the next level with a publicity tour and being poster boy for MRAs.
    The sad reality is that Rachel might have been saved if we didn’t exist in a world that ignores all of the warning signs of gendered violence.

    The title made me think that it was Trump that dismembered a girl and I thought “… Yeah that’s believable”

    In December 2020, Roberts posted an unusual photo on social media. He wore a tuxedo as he posed with San Francisco Mayor London Breed, and he said they had dined together at the exclusive French Laundry restaurant in the Napa Valley.

    Jeff Cretan, a spokesperson for Breed, said such a dinner never happened and that the photo was from a San Francisco Symphony event. Roberts, Cretan said, had approached the mayor at a few different events.

    Infected her then told all his buddies she infected him. This is a pattern of behavior in the general area. Source: a friend worked at a public clinic that treats STIs in the general vicinity, they have thousands of documented cases of treating men, who then later return with their main partner to be retested and retreated, and blame their partners in front of the same professional who treated the men a week or less, before.

    This is not race, education, income or age specific, either. White men in gated retirement communities are the current highest infection rates for five years running (no pun intended).

      Am I misreading this? That sounds race and age specific, and obviously gender also.

        Just because that’s the largest demographic doesn’t make it the only demographic. I forget how much higher the numbers are, but I believe during that conversation it was single digit percentage. It is also the fastest growing group. I’m guessing wife passed, and loneliness but that’s purely conjecture.

    Hold up, what?!

    Paywalled article, first off. Secondly, is this suggesting that Trump has been accused of murder? Is this site at all reputable? Am I on acid?

      I posted an archive link in another comment here. But no it’s not Trump being accused of murder. It’s some other guy, Joseph Carl Roberts, that “was once touted by the Trump administration as a poster child for the purported excesses of the #MeToo movement and the reckoning over sexual assault at American colleges.” Now he killed someone and has been charged for it.

      It’s just a somewhat poorly-written headline. It’s about a guy - not Trump - who was supposedly victimized by the Me Too movement. And all-too-predictably, it turns out the guy - not Trump - is probably a psychotic murderer. Because that’s the sort of guy Trump likes.

        I hate this two sentence headline format (“John Doe did blankety-blank. Now he’s yadda yadda whatever”) almost as much as I hate seeing headlines with the words, “slam,” “rip,” and “sparks outrage.”

          Yeah, those are the worst. I’m like, “Look, I’m a news-interested person, and I want to know about this guy. Just give me a headline that interests me without it seeming like you’re trying to trick me.”

      Badly written headline. There is a man targetted the MeToo movement who was defended by the Trump administration. Now that man has been accused of dismembering his girlfriend.

      For all the people saying this is simply a badly written title.

      Do you actually believe that?

      Why is it that all these “badly written” titles, also happen to be designed to instill an outrage reaction?

      It’s not a coincidence or accident. All these “badly written” titles these days are done so deliberately. Just like YouTube is full of O-face thumbnails and bullshit titles, so is “the news”.

      It works in pulling in eyes.

        Of course it’s badly written. What are you trying to imply?

        He isn’t even named, it just says “him”. How are we supposed to know who “him” is? The only named person is Trump, so how can we be expected to think “him” means anyone else?

          THAT’S THE FUCKING POINT!

          It’s entirely deliberately written to instill that thought.

          And it’s not “badly written” as it is 100000000% effective in what it is meant to do.

            Writing badly on purpose is still writing badly lol

            Just replace “him” with “this man”, and it’s still clickbait but clearer. Or hell, just put his name there. The circumstance itself is interesting enough for an article without resorting to tricks.
