Babcat, that's one of the most racial and insensitive remarks I've ever seen.
You don't find the decapitation of three little children in
both cases... and the fact that both families are hispanic, just a tad on the coincidental side?? How many decapitations of little children have you read about in the United States prior to these cases? You don't see
any possibility that this choice of murder might be somehow cultural?
If you hear about a guy being found dead with his tongue protruding through his slit throat... do you think "Gee... he must have angered the Swedes!" Or is it now politically incorrect to link the mafia... the mob... and their style of killing, with the Italian and Sicilian communities? Of course now there is the Russian mob and the Asian mob too. I guess those are insensitive terms as well. I wonder if any of them are equal opportunity employers. :waitasec:
If a profiler from the FBI is called in to consult on a case... and the local PD hands him/her a handful of victim photographs, and all are black women... is it insensitive for the profiler to say, "Nearly all serial offenders avoid crossing racial lines, so you are looking for a black suspect." Is that racist? Isn't the objective to actually catch the right guy?
How do you think profilers from the FBI found these things out? They learned what patterns to look for by looking at what had occurred in previous crimes. Just as it is absurd to assume Nick Berg was beheaded by members of the French Olympic diving team... it is equally absurd to assume that blonde, blue eyed, Eminem's musical influences were Barry Manilow and Air Supply. For modern day white rappers like Eminem and, earlier, Mark Wahlberg... and even further back, the blue eyed soul of Hall of Oates, it isn't in the least an understatement to say the music world did not predict such things... and yet they happened.
I say we don't ignore this incredible coincidence of child murder by decapitation having ties directly to the hispanic community in each state. Therefore if we find decapitated little children in the near future with no known suspects at all... it might be helpful to examine the possibility of a connection to hispanic culture. Precious Doe comes to mind offhand. I'd actually like to explore this bizarre choice of murder used by these defendants further... possibly do some research into Mexican, and other hispanic culture rituals that might be somewhat unknown by most.
Ya know... not EVERY reference to race is racist. The salsa music thing was suppose to be sarcasm, but I know Lovely Pigeon is never sarcastic... right?
