A FEMALE college golf champion was randomly RAPED and MURDERED.

BLAME CANADA! Even if Canada were safer, that safety arrives in equal measure with pure blandness and vast nothingness. The US is dynamic, ever morphing, world-leading in so many domains, while you feel smug, which you call safe.

Also, life is a crapshoot, for all of us. It's heartbreaking that she was murdered in such a random act of ugliness but it's a reminder of the truth of our existence.

I'm pressing the non existant like button on the above post which is the first post worth reading in the entire thread full of complete nonsense.

True evil? What is this, Sunday school? Mental illness has causes and (in many cases) an identifiable pathology and treatment.

Hold on a minute. Republican don’t appreciate you spilling vile hate for no reason. Republicans think this girl first said yes to sex at first and then she changed her mind. We need to hear the full story from the homeless man who is the victim according to republicans. Until then her story is completely false and she her family should be ashamed for trying to ruin this man’s life by accusing him of rape.

But only if the homeless guy is a republican. If he is then Trump would tweet how what is being done to him is so unfair and he's a good guy and maybe he'll even get a pardon. And there were very fine people on both sides of this incident. And the woman is from Europe which means she is an evil socialist, probably a dem operative, and she should be investigated for attacking and scratching and wounding the man.

Homeless is sooo misleading, it sounds like they are just normal people that missed a mortgage payment and were kicked to the curb by some mean ol banker.

These are mentally unstable people suffering from alcohol and drug addiction. They are often violent and dangerous. How we chose to ignore this population is a crime.

The Left wants to avoid it because they see institutionalization as against individual liberty.

WRONG - THE RIGHT CUTS MENTAL HEALTH FUNDING, BENEFITS AND CLOSES MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES.

The Right doesn't want to pay for it.

CORRECT.

So it gets ignored.

Crimes rates have droped thanks to abortion. Thank you Freakonomics!

1. I would argue good vs evil is not necessarily a religious concept.

2. Educational programs and psychiatry are two different things. I mentioned the former, you added the latter.

3. I made no comment on what caused this man to murder this woman. It could be a psychiatric issue, but it would be hard to argue that what he did to this girl wasn’t pure evil. Perhaps early and intense psychiatric intervention could have prevented him from doing this, but I doubt a sexual harassment seminar would have.

4. Psychiatry may help someone during the formative years, but once these psychopaths are fully cooked, so to speak, I think it may be too late to do anything to change them (assuming the murderer in this case is pathological and not a schizophrenic, etc, which is treatable but not curable). There were reasons for Bundy’s pathology, but I don’t think there was a psychiatrist or pill in the world that was going to stop him once he started killing. The only thing that did that was his execution.

For someone is his state a sexual harassment seminar probably just would have motivated him even more.

Very sad. Sadly the usa is very dangerous. Murder rates are high.

Assuming this post is a joke ... everyone knows that murder rates are the lowest they've ever been.

Why would that be a joke? Our murder rates are still 5-10 times that of Italy, Germany, and Canada. Just because they are lower than they were 10 years ago, doesn't mean they are low.

Makes me think why didn’t she swing her golf club at the assailant’s head?

A homeless man has nothing to lose by doing that. Makes me pity them less. But then the fact that he had a history of past violence makes me think he should rot in jail and not get death penalty

I'm sure she tried.

I just don't believe that women should run alone on forest trails or trails out in the woods by themselves. I don't care what time of the day it is. There should always be a partner.

Now if she is running on the sidewalk or in the street, that's different. Those areas are well lit, and there are stores, gas stations, buildings and people in the area. However, even in those predicaments, I would still recommend that a woman runs with someone at night time or early in the morning.

These two incidents happened in the middle of Chicago, one on the lakefront trail during the busiest part of marathon training season:

It doesn't matter WHERE or WHEN we run. Women are always targets. I am constantly looking over my shoulder while running and I AM SICK OF IT.

(I also carry mace, every time, no exceptions)

This is why my wife wears a concealed carry belt.

Shouldn't the 'get them of the country' demand apply to everyone, including this guy?

Yes it should apply equally to both groups. Both illegal aliens infiltrating this country and US citizens commiting a crime like this should be deported Scarface style off of a helicopter and let the sharks take care of the burial.

Jesus Christ. The amount of people making jokes or trying to make this political... I have never been so disgusted looking at something on the internet and that's saying a lot. You people are completely and utterly disguising human beings. A woman is dead.

Where did Righteous Rage, otherwise known as anger, disappear to?

We are talking about a woman here, and no object is going to provide ADEQUATE protection when dealing with a healthy, regular man. Pepper spray can be a decent form of protection, but it is not guaranteed to inhibit the perpetrator.

Where the f*ck do you live, the slums of Mexico City?

I'm surprised she would be playing alone on a public course. If someone goes to one here in California as a single, they have to wait for a opening to complete a foursome. The courses are always crowded and hearing "fore" is very common.

The course is connected to the university in Ames which is a small town. Courses are not full on weekday mornings. There are new apartments along the course so it is surprising that nobody saw him.

Nah, the left has nothing against institutionalizing the mentally ill if they pose a danger to themselves or others.

You can thank Reagan for current lack of mental health facilities. Liberals warned that this would happen 30-odd years ago when he started shutting down them down (you know the old line o' patter: trickle down, small government, trickle down, small government, blah, blah).

And here we are. Reagan's long gone, but his moronic legacy lives on.
