Brazil: Girl, 17, confesses to murder of 30 men

"This needs to be tried as a gender-based hate crime."

I disagree, since I find the concept of "hate crime" itself to lead to to unconstitutional conditions (well, here in the US, anyway), clearly using indelible characteristics and motivations to distinguish between one murder over another. It leads down a slippery slope that unfortunately, we here in the west have gone down.

Prosecute anyone because you think their motive was more objectionable than... what? If the motive is to collect insurance money in the victim, then it's Murder in most states, either class A (or 1) or B (or 2), similarly as a federal offense. However do the same thing with the motive being that the other person is black, or white, or gay, or foreign, etc., and suddenly it is as bad as premeditated murder (1 or 2), even if you did not know the person personally, when otherwise it'd be manslaughter or some other kind of homicide? No, just doesn't fit. Dead is dead is dead. In fact the idea that one death, intended but on the spur of the moment, is less punishable than a full-on premeditated planned-for-months murder is debatable as well, since the person is just as dead. But that's widening the debate to an unmanageable level.

The murderer in this case is clearly in possession of intent and is as sociopathic as anyone else who commits such a crime. If anything, she should be tried as an adult for 1~30 counts of manslaughter and murder. But these as hate crimes? Even if Brazil has these defined, I still wouldn't agree with it. Could they do so? Would they do so even if they knew her primary reason for killing these men was their maleness? (I do find it *interesting* that she hasn't killed any women, among all those other victims.) Still, I wouldn't agree with it. As I said, on principle the concept of "hate crime" is very shaky from a lot of standpoints. Well, it doesn't matter ultimately what I think since 1) I don't make the laws and 2) I am not even Brazilian, but as a matter of principle, the idea of "hate crime" as we use it in the west is dicey at best.

But when someone needs an example of a female mass-murderer, you got it right here, among other places. Then watch your listener make excuses, just like as for sure they will get made here.

I wonder really how much time behind bars she will see? I wonder if she will not somehow become rich and famous (if not infamous) for her acts? I wonder how long it'll be before she murders another man?

Watch and wait, there is sure to be more to follow.

Here's a girl that targets and kills men. She hates them and is even proud of her actions. Will the media investigate and reveal the anti-male bias in the media, the culture, and the courts? Hell no.

But one man guns down some women with anti-female feelings and entire articles are written about how the Man is keeping the Woman down.

Strong reasoning on what is/is not a hate crime.

The whole idea of such is probably built on the nutty PC/MC movement.

And if you take nymphotropism to a logical conclusion, a woman could never be convicted of something like that.

To my way of thinking, this string of crimes will be swept aside somehow, due to some similar rationale.

Probably something like a Black Widow syndrome.

Don't laugh. Would that be any crazier than the "Battered woman" syndrome?

Its amazing but in the Uk on TV news I have heard nothing of this story but if there had been a rape by a male in Botswana it would have been the lead story.
What a one sided media we have today,it is obviously policy,anything which does not fit the feminist agenda gets kicked out.I feel sorry for those apologies of male newsreaders who look more downbeat by the day,surely they should have something to say in defence of their own sex bearing in mind that organisations like the BBC are supposed to be impartial.

Is there any other reputable news sources. Though I believe the story, The Sun is hardly the bastion of responsible journalism

As of 8/21, I've yet to see this story covered during prime time cable news. One person, 30 deaths, and not a peep from the MSM. Keep in mind, I watch alot of cable news. Granted, it didn't happen in the US, but reverse the genders, and this becomes headline news.
