Bob Really outdid himself when he dug up this ghastly crime.
A man stabbed his girlfriend to death after she accidentally blurted out the name of another man as they made love.
Gary Higgs, 44, flew into a rage when his girlfriend suddenly cried out: ‘Chris!’.
He stormed downstairs, grabbed a chef’s knife and stabbed Joanne Kitchen once in the back and once in the chest.
As she was dying from her wounds, he throttled the 41-year-old to death with the electrical flex of their alarm clock.
And you wonder why Gun control advocates in the United States are so fixated with the metric of “Gun Death”. This story is from the UK, where guns are essentially banned, and knives are heavily restricted. Meanwhile this woman commits a simple faux-pas of calling out the wrong name during sex. (Does this mean she was having an affair, or just a brain fart?….either way it doesn’t justify her gruesome death) And she was stabbed, and strangled to death.
This is so sick, and senseless. But there is another part of the story I find equally as disturbing:
Higgs, who admitted murder, was yesterday jailed for life and told he must serve a minimum of 15 years.
“Jailed for life, but must serve a minimum of 15 years”? Now in a just world this would mean he would be kept alive on life support if need-be so that he would serve at LEAST 15 years before he died in prison…but that’s not the case, that means that he will be eligible for release in 15 years! You think his future relationships will be safe thanks to his time in Prison? Here’s the REAL reason why anti-rights advocates focus on bogus metrics like “Gun Death”, because they want to disarm lawful people, rather than concern themselves with monsters like this who roam the streets.
Obviously we must implement regulations on alarm clocks. If the clock had been battery-powered and therefore cordless then surely everything would have been rainbows and skittles.
Sick sick sick.
I dunno, the cord likely killed her, but I suspect she wouldn’t have been too far behind with the knife wounds….obviously we need to ban sex. THINK OF THE CHILDRENZ
It’s not the sex we need to ban but the private transactions of sex without government control.
We need a background check on each person before sex.
We need a waiting period before having sex.
We need to have psychological examines to make sure each person is a responsible adult.
See, only if we give up all of our liberty will we be safe and free.
And don’t forget to tax it! Gotta pay for that bureaucrazy somehow!!
. . . I swear that “bureaucrazy” was a typo, not snark, but now I kind of like it 🙂
Jailed for 15 years because in the immortal words of one of Weerd’s stalkers (for the life of me, i can’t remember which), it violates the 8th amendment to hold criminals for too long.
Well it was the one that went to law school, and actually isn’t stalking me anymore. And he did have a legit point that holding somebody indefinetly while police and lawyers attempt to make a case for conviction. Dunno if it is exactly under the 8th, but we do have a right to a speedy trial.
Where the shitbag went wrong is he belives that arresting, but failing to charge, or procicute said person should still be grounds to depriving rights.
Some standard leftist enjoyment of the Bill of rights….its Buffet-style don’t you know! Remember you can just pile on freedom of speech as high as you want to include email, public phone booths, and intercepting cell phone trasmissions (even calls that are intercepted outside the US) but the second amendment is kinda icky, so I’ll pass!
Nah this was one on the Japete comment fest that said you can’t hold criminals forever because it’s against the 8th amendment…… It was Lacy…”Locking them up forever would violate the 8th amendment.” In her eyes, no crime is to bad that you can have your life taken away by being locked up. You eventually have to be let out. Everything after that is just a negotiation as to how long.
Makes sense, I mean if violent criminals are locked up, who will supply the blood for their dance floor?
