I was watching a true crime documentary last night and they played a clip of the jury selection. A lady said Jesus told her the night previous she shouldn’t be a part the jury.
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
…..tips of avoiding jury duty from Christians.
I got on a true crime documentary kick last night and, once again, I was reminded and disgusted by human nature.
Those whom society loves to label as “evil” don’t start out that way. They start as kids who were abandoned, abused, raped, neglected, or tossed aside. Over and over. Killers, prostitutes, drug addicts, homeless people, abusers. The common thread is childhood trauma, serious trauma, that never got addressed. That certainly doesn’t excuse what these people do later, it just explains where and when the issues began.
The case that really made me feel sick was Aileen Wuornos:
-Abandoned by her mother very young.
-Raised by grandparents.
-Sexually abused as a child.
-Raped as a teenager and became pregnant at 14.
-Her child taken away.
-Ran away from home and survived by hitchhiking and prostitution by age 15.
Sadly, this is a common story for many teens and children. Their families have likely carried and repeated these themes of abuse, then all expected to stay quiet, and therefore there is no healing and the cycle of ruined lives is continued.
Later in her 30’s, she killed men who picked her up while she was hitchhiking. She said the first killing happened after she was raped and assaulted and that she shot and killed the man in self defense. She was still absolutely guilty of killing those men. I’m not pretending otherwise. Murder is murder. She has to pay.
What disgusted me was how fast the system decided her voice didn’t matter.
Because she was a prostitute, her claims of rape were treated like a joke. Her fear was treated like manipulation and as though she was just a liar. Her sexual history was used as proof she was unrapeable. That logic is foul. Selling sex does not erase the ability to be violated. It never has and never will.
Men somehow manage to hold two beliefs at the same time without choking on the hypocrisy.
1. They treat prostitution as access when it benefits them.
2. They treat prostitution as disbelief when violence happens.
Even worse, evidence connected to at least one victim’s violent sexual past was kept out of court. So the jury was asked to decide whether her fear was reasonable while being denied information that could explain why she might be terrified of that man. That isn’t justice. That is protecting men from discomfort of their actions.
Women who are angry get called unstable.
Women who contradict themselves get called liars.
Women with sexual histories get treated as disposable.
Men who commit violence get their childhoods unpacked, their trauma explored, their pain explained away.
As discussed in the documentary, I looked into the claim about a female judge being removed because men argued a woman couldn’t fairly judge a female defendant. I couldn’t confirm that detail, so I won’t state it as fact. But the fact that it sounds believable at all should tell you how broken this system already is.
This case isn’t about defending a serial killer. It’s about exposing a legal culture that decides whose suffering is believable and whose isn’t.
A culture that hears a woman speak and immediately looks for reasons to dismiss her. A culture that pretends neutrality while enforcing a hierarchy. And women are expected to stomach it quietly and expect to accept it.
Aileen Wuornos killed men and she never denied that. But did she receive a fair trial? I don’t believe so. Our justice system is not true justice. It’s corrupt and unjust!
She was executed by lethal injection on October 9, 2002.
@Countcristo44 Yes, that was her claim….self-defense. And the first victim she was tried for murdering had a violent past but it wasn’t disclosed during the trial. Sick.
Very! I think I’ll study it a bit more. I really think she DID NOT receive a fair trial.
And no, men, that want to accuse me of whatever insane thing you feel like at the moment….she was definitely GUIlTY.
I agree that she was not evil and more a very abused and traumatized person.
@shadetreeisback@Epsilon_Indi_c 💯 One of the documentaries I watched was on the BTK killer. Most of his murders committed in the 1970’s and not apprehended until 2005. He was just living a seemingly normal life with a wife and kids. No one suspected him.
@Grace_OMalley_X There is no equality in this system. No doubt some men are going to be belligerent in the comment section.
It’s not even equality women are after. Men and women are not equal.
We just don’t want to be lorded over and treated like garbage.
Is it not weird that there are accounts who only make good morning posts and then spend about an hour telling everyone good morning, and then repeat it the next day? 🤷♀️🫣
To each their own, I guess.
The more I think about Christians being excited for the “End of Times”, the more I look at them as lunatics.
The world is filled with tragedy, war, suffering, and corruption and instead of getting off the couch to do something about it, they are praying and wishing for Jesus to come and save them.
How messed up is that? Christians would rather sit back, do nothing, and watch the world become so much worse, than to have courage and fix it themselves.
So what will they do when Jesus doesn’t come? What then?
Rejoice harder, Christians! Usher in the end of times by letting evil do whatever the hell they want. You’re doing a fantastic job of being silent, controlled, pathetic saints.
Let’s see if god or Jesus comes to save you!
Just remember, a billion dead people said they KNEW Jesus was coming in their lifetime.
