"Bitch" [View all] boston bean Aug 2015 OP

K&R Brickbat Aug 2015 #1

What did he call the guy he shot? TreasonousBastard Aug 2015 #2

Yes, that is clearly the most disturbing thing about this whole episode. topological Aug 2015 #3

Huh? try again please DURHAM D Aug 2015 #5

Well, good news, nobody said that it was the most disturbing part! NuclearDem Aug 2015 #6

What leads you to believer that's the most disturbing aspect of the episode? LanternWaste Aug 2015 #20

Two people are dead for no reason. I couldn't care less what he said. topological Aug 2015 #22

There is no event, however senseless and tragic, hifiguy Aug 2015 #37

Brother you just said a mouthful. topological Aug 2015 #46

You can continue to look at the physical act alone and not the motives. boston bean Aug 2015 #54

He is said to have faxed a lengthy manifesto, plus there's the small matter of the man he killed. topological Aug 2015 #58

Why should we concern ourselves with some manifesto, right? boston bean Aug 2015 #62

What agenda do you think I'm pushing here? boston bean Aug 2015 #51

Why don't you state what your agenda is? How about that? topological Aug 2015 #63

That misogyny is an issue in this culture, and that the words boston bean Aug 2015 #69

No, I believe you are correct. topological Aug 2015 #74

So, now we are onto, misogyny didn't play a role in it.. boston bean Aug 2015 #76

You know, I think you're right. Had he not said that, she'd still be alive. I'm sure of it. topological Aug 2015 #81

strawman. boston bean Aug 2015 #88

In order for anything I've said to be a strawman, there must be an articulate argument. topological Aug 2015 #91

I've advanced one. A pretty clear one. boston bean Aug 2015 #92

Let me be clear: misogyny exists in our culture and is an issue. topological Aug 2015 #94

He's not worth it, boston bean. brush Aug 2015 #107

Funny how I read it as Boston bean isn't worth it. artislife Aug 2015 #192

Would you say the same if a white guy called someone a racist slur just before killing him? whathehell Aug 2015 #126

I think you jumped the shark on this one till all the facts came out snooper2 Aug 2015 #101

Never do you agree with me on this issue. So, it's not suprising. nt boston bean Aug 2015 #109

I just got done watching the video asshole shooter took...Have you? snooper2 Aug 2015 #115

He was pointing the gun at her and called her a bitch. boston bean Aug 2015 #116

I agree. cwydro Aug 2015 #114

I did want pizza tonight. ladyVet Aug 2015 #206

What has the other poster said that makes you believe he should be ejected from the website? DisgustipatedinCA Aug 2015 #207

Ha! Yes, it's pretty amazing what people try to steer other people to focus on. valerief Aug 2015 #41

I think a bunch of people are trying to steer focus away from a pretty valid point boston bean Aug 2015 #56

"that is clearly the most disturbing thing about this whole episode" sufrommich Aug 2015 #111

yes, because that name is an important clue to the murderer's state of mind, and the niyad Aug 2015 #197

Yes. It's just a word. Sheldon Cooper Aug 2015 #4

What part of the equation don't you get boston bean Aug 2015 #130

Main Target? ProfessorGAC Aug 2015 #133

Is calling a woman bitch and then shooting her indicative of misogyny? boston bean Aug 2015 #142

Yes, If. . . ProfessorGAC Aug 2015 #149

So, if other people are killed, he can't be a misogynist... okay... boston bean Aug 2015 #156

No Snow Leopard Aug 2015 #217

Is there a perjorative for a man that is equally as offensive as bitch? Sheldon Cooper Aug 2015 #26

"You bastard" would probably be the equivalent. hifiguy Aug 2015 #29

It's not even close, but thanks for trying. Sheldon Cooper Aug 2015 #32

What does bastard mean? nt boston bean Aug 2015 #36

Trashing thread. hifiguy Aug 2015 #42

of course you trash, cause you understand bastard is just another hit against a woman. she dared to seabeyond Aug 2015 #177

Too Focused On The Specifics Of This Incident? ProfessorGAC Aug 2015 #45

"Dick" would probably be the male equivalent ram2008 Aug 2015 #122

I think you could more accurately call this event "workplace violence". nt jonno99 Aug 2015 #40

This is absurd tkmorris Aug 2015 #8

How are you dealing with the misogyny you see around you? Syzygy321 Aug 2015 #27

No. Why would that make you a misogynist? Syzygy321 Aug 2015 #209

But... You are not TKMorris, the poster I was Syzygy321 Aug 2015 #211

Does anyone think a guy calling a woman a 'bitch' is not being misogynistic? pampango Aug 2015 #9

Really? Being a cold blooded multiple murderer is somehow intensified by misogyny? topological Aug 2015 #12

"Intensified?" Perhaps not. But if the victims had been Black and the killer called them "N-------" pampango Aug 2015 #47

Just how indifferent are you between being insulted and being shot to death? topological Aug 2015 #49

You didn't answer the question. joshcryer Aug 2015 #52

It wouldn't change anything for me. Being sane, I value human life over feelings. topological Aug 2015 #55

If you believe that hatred based on gender, race, sexual orientation, etc. should be ignored pampango Aug 2015 #64

Pardon me, but the OP evidently takes issue with a single word that might have been uttered topological Aug 2015 #72

If the cameraman had been Black and the shooter yelled "N*****" before shooting, you might pampango Aug 2015 #89

If a frog had a tail, it wouldn't bruise its behind when it leaps. topological Aug 2015 #93

It will be interesting to read his manifesto. Here is a report of some of what he was upset about stevenleser Aug 2015 #84

Holyshit. Rex Aug 2015 #96

Yeah, really messed up. I found a link with the video he made. Anyone who wants to see it PM me. stevenleser Aug 2015 #100

That takes real fortitude to watch the video. Thanks for putting the pieces together. Rex Aug 2015 #104

The video relates to the OP. He does use the B word and she was his primary target, no question. nt stevenleser Aug 2015 #108

Sick. I've never read of a reporter doing something like this. Rex Aug 2015 #112

I'm surprised workplace violence of some sort doesn't happen more in that field. stevenleser Aug 2015 #124

I can't. Unfortunately, I watched the Daniel Pearl video YEARS ago, and closeupready Aug 2015 #127

I watched it. Yes it is very unsettling.. boston bean Aug 2015 #139

Oh, okay, I didn't understand that, initially. closeupready Aug 2015 #151

weird, he actually whispered the word "bitch" like he didn't want to disrupt the interview snooper2 Aug 2015 #110

It seemed like he was trying to draw the moment out for some kind of sick production value. stevenleser Aug 2015 #131
