I Am Not A Reliable Narrator

i could have linked salon but chose the guardian instead

five women have been killed in Ipswich this month, specifically five prostitutes have been killed, this makes it okay to make jokes about it. even though it's not and they aren't funny. two of the bodies were just found yesterday and the murders have happened very close together. i can't imagine how scary it must be for all the women who live there right now.

i chose to link to the guardian article because in all it's liberal glory it links to another article about the fact that these women did not deserve this. it is not okay to kill them because they provide sex for money. and that people who kill prostitutes don't kill them because they hate hookers, they do it because they hate women.

    Excellent point that these murders are a result of hating women, not what they do. Prostitutes are easy to lure away...easy targets.

    all the women targeted in ipswich have been addicted to heroin and crack as well, making them even easier targets. one was actually interviewed on a morning news show last week after they found the first bodies saying that she knew it wasn't safe but that she needed to stay out there. i almost wonder if the killer is just keeping his eyes glued to GMTV to see who the interview next.
