Woman doesn't shoot guy, gets convicted of killing guy
Oh, how nice. They even used the loaded, classic phrase, 'cried rape', which I believe goes back to the Bible, and subtly twists the Bible's demand that a woman cry out when a man rapes her.
Long story short: man finds wife cheating on him, wife claims she's being raped, husband kills guy, then grand jury refuses to indict man for murder while convicting the wife 'for making her husband kill the man.'
That's funny. How many wives make their husbands do the dishes?
How abusive was this guy, anyway? He kills somebody and gets away with it, I'm finding it really hard to believe the wife didn't have good reason to be afraid for her life. Now the rest of us can be scared of this murdering asshole walking around instead of just her because the grand jury decided to teach the bitch a lesson. The way the hubbie killed the guy smacks of possession rather than protection. Who has a loaded gun at the ready like that? Who shoots four times when, frankly, one would do? The article says the daughter told the father that she thought her mom was outside--and that's enough to get the dude to come driving back home from miles away? What's between all the gaps? How often does this guy carry a gun? Was he abusive? How often? What lesson did hubby learn from this incident?
Not a good case to illustrate the idea that the bitches lie. I have to say, too, that the fact that Tracey Roberson is black no doubt played a role in the harsh grand jury decision, because sexism is so much more fun when you can pile more toppings onto it. It's sexism squared! Then there's the whole 'babymama/welfare queen' stereotype, along with the Tawana Brawley case---another case of a woman who was afraid of violence---and the Duke rape victim, who was actually victimized. Funny how those stereotypes obscure the reality that black women are something like ten times more likely than white women to get raped, and that's despite the fact that white women outnumber black women. No, the stereotype of black women is that they're both sexually voracious----which dates back to slave days, and neatly excuses white rape of black slaves----and lying bitches. You can't lose with that combination.
If Tracey Roberson had actually been raped and had shot the guy herself, she'd probably be in jail right now, whereas if she'd gotten a man to do it for her----her owner, for example, such as a husband, father, or even a son----both of them would still be free. Funny how women are still property to men and the idea of women tossing off those chains and acting on their own behalf is so horrifying that even men who were once regarded as property themselves have no trouble laying a claim to women around them. Other mens' property is fair game, though. Keeping men as property----bad. Keeping women as property----business as usual.
How come nobody's asking why she was so scared she accused her boyfriend of rape in front of her husband?
The belief that women lie, that women lie for the sheer joy of lying, and that a woman will maliciously lie to get another man killed is the reason nobody's asking why Tracey Roberson was so scared.
So a man is dead and the murderer is free, while a terrified woman faces jail for the rest of her life. Justice has been served.
