      What a highly intelligent thing to say. I’m so impressed with that statement, surely you must have studied the thousands of crime scenes of men who attack females then?
      Men who commit violence on female children, men who commit violence on females who they stalk, men who chose to attack females they marry, men who attack females who are alone, or in pairs, men who attack 20 or 30 or more different women before they’re caught, there are just so many men attacking females..yet they’re not the problem? The females are the problem? Because they expect to be saved?
      How about females expecting to go hiking, camping, jogging, without a man attacking them violently? Why can’t men stop attacking women?

    It’s genuinely terrifying that it wasn’t the first suspect who did it and he just happened to be ANOTHER sicko in the area who also liked to enact violence against women. This is definitely one of those cases that makes it no surprise women are saying they’d rather encounter a bear in the woods than a random man. It’s utterly tragic that even out in the middle of nature women are never safe from this kind of obscene violence by men.

      Co sign this! The fact that he was freed, but was ended in a car accident was a blessing for women! He definitely would have continued taking out watever bs issues he had on other females thinking he would get away with it, he probably felt validated by being exonerated and his hatred for women becoming even more dangerous smh The world is safer without men like that around.

    May Julie And Lollies Rest In Blissful Peace Together.. I have no doubt they're wild, nature loving souls are free. and roaming the forests, woods, countryside and wild streams and rivers and mountains they loved so much. And their beloved pooch Taj, another brave soul who stood guard and never left his mistresses sides even in death and even days later. I hope they are all together now. Such a sad, sad thing that happened to them. But I am glad that before they died they had found love and happiness with each other. What a terrible thing to happen to them particularly after one of the girls had been a victim of physical assault in the past already. Its just like what they say " bad things can happen to good people". These girls had achieved so much already in they're short lives and had done much good for the world and still had so much to give and this monster took all that away from them I hope these two free spirits are just that, free. Sleep tight angels, even many years later you are remembered and people are still being moved by what happened to you. It shows that even on fun filled trips and holidays away, we have to be vigilant and always be on guard and keep ourselves safe as there is evil out there and all around even in the most beautiful of places as this, can happen to anyone of us. RIP Julie And Lollies And Taj. X

    How can you be targeted for your gender or sexual orientation if no one knows it until you tell them? I was told that gender is a social construct and stuff. 🤷‍♂️
