ok whatever. Travis Alexander did not deserve to die. Blaze did not deserve to die. Period.
(SNIP-SNIP)
I am just frustrated with people inferring that an unwanted kiss is anywhere near the realm of justifiable to murder someone. No, 0%, not at all, it isnt, no argument.
IE: See post #758
Ill probably shoot myself later for stepping into this, but, this just seems like such an obvious failure to communicate. Ive got an idea of why, but, still, I cant help myself and feel the need to try to clear it up for everyone.
1st: No One has said ANYONE deserves to die, because we ALL understand that NO ONE deserves to die, and their having been killed was a Tragedy!...a heinous crime...a terrible accident...whatever, depending on the case and circumstances, and not just in THIS case, but others...as Everyone deserves to live a happy and long life.
2nd: No one is victim blaming. It seems like that is how you are interpreting what they said. (Just give me a second and Ill explain it below)
3rd: What they were saying is that Killers/Murders are NOT necessarily logical, and it isnt uncommon in various circumstances, that are unique to THAT individual, for them to possibly have FLIPPED THE F-** OUT! No logic, No Thought, Just Do, then Afterwards, realize..Holy Cow, WTH just happened & What the H*ll do I do NOW?! kind of a circumstance....some people just have irrational fears, that are just THAT...NOT logical, NOT rational..they make NO SENSE, and can even be something totally silly and harmless, and some people may not even know they have that level fear until something happens..and until something triggers their fear..
Perfect example of an IRRATIONAL FEAR: I have an irrational fear of fish/critters touching me when Im in water..so,if I stand in water where I cant see my feet clearly, especially if it is waist high, and something touches me, I flip out!...Usually, that involves screaming like an idiot and running to shore..*shrugs*...
Further example: At the beach w/my sister & family, ocean fishing (my 1st time), they finally after a few hours coaxed me out to waist high water (pretty far from shore, but my sis was there & her BF, so I tried hard to not be too scared and just go with the flow..peer pressure, yes)...were having a good time, chatting, fishing, Im still a little nervous/slightly spooked but controlling it)..were laughing about dolphins in the distance...totally distracted and not feeling any fear...then something touched/brushed my leg/thigh underwater...Next thing I knew I had climbed my Sister like a telephone pole to get as much of Me out of the water as physically possible..My Sis was none too pleased and screaming for me to get off her, I felt like a Dumba** & knew I looked ridiculous, but my fear level had ratcheted up to 1200 watts and I just could t bring myself to let her go even in the littlest bit..Her BF almost burst himself laughing, and my Sis eventually saw the humor...AFTER a friend came all the way from shore, and was kind enough to carry me back to shore in his arms (Out of the Water!), and then he too almost peed laughing.POINT IS?⬇️
Was it funny, yeah, later, but at the time, NO! All I know is that one second Im standing next to my Sis fishing and laughing about dolphins, and the next, my pole was gone, anything else I had was gone, and I was as close as I could be, to standing on top of my Sisters Shoulders/Back with as much of me out of the water as physically possible
..did I make the decision to climb up onto my Sister? NO!, the thought never crossed my mind, I dont know even how/when it happened, I was just there..THAT is what everyone who has tried, has attempted to explain, that sometimes, even regular people (Swear Ive never killed anyone), can REACT to a situation without thinking...period. And, being that scared of a fish or whatever even touching me is obviously stupid, and makes no sense, not like Ive ever gotten bitten or that much out there even has the ability/teeth to bite, but, for whatever reason, my brain switches off and fight/flight instinct switches on, and I dont get to decide, I just see the aftermath..THAT is an IRRATIONAL FEAR!...btw, this is a true story, my sister still endlessly & mercilessly teases me about it to this day..it happened a good 7-10yrs ago.
Hopefully, the whole react and not think, just Do, because XYZ happened....(whatever XYZ happens to be for that one person), makes more sense to you now🤞[emoji846] and before someone says otherwise, I am NOT taking anyones side I was just explaining a concept for clarity sake
...If not, then I too give up, but it was worth a shot to try and explain so everyone is on the same page.
