Comments on news stories can show up some very strange reasoning. The two stories which have given rise to the strangest in the last few days have been the woman who was murdered with a captive bolt gun and the doctor who attempted to poison his pregnant girl friend. The murder was committed by an abattoir worker as might be expected and was carried out because the lady concerned did not want him as her boy friend and made it clear she didn't want him. The strangest were along the following lines:
She brought it on herself because she humiliated him by saying she wouldn't go out with him
All meat eaters are responsible for this murder because if you hadn't eaten meat there wouldn't have been a slaughter house for this guy to work in.
The doctor who attempted to poison his girlfriend to bring about an abortion of his baby prompted the following comments:
He's definitely innocent and she framed him by poisoning herself
Why was she going out with a married man? [She didn't know he was married until the police told her]. It's all her fault.
Women have abortions - this was no different. If he's got to go to jail then all women who have abortions should be jailed as well
What rational woman takes a cup of tea she thinks was poisoned to the police?
When I read the last one my immediate reaction was - any rational woman who wants to stay alive!
