I've already bookmark it on my browser, in order that I can view your weblog publish again later. Additionally, I'm wondering whether or not your blog is open for link exchange, as I actually wish to alternate hyperlinks with you. I don't usually do that, but I hope that we can have a mutual link exchange. Let me know and have an awesome day!

The real murderers wouldn't last very long. And that’s why everybody should have a gun. The real murderers wouldn’t last very long.

It goes into some detail about survival mechanisms and the way different people react in disaster situations, using real information gleaned by experts from 9/11, Virginia Tech, the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire, amongst others. There are many situations where an individual has gained power over a group and sex and society may have surprisingly little to do with people's behaviour.

If I was alone, with a friend, or with several friends. I've been thinking a lot about these poor girls, and I'm reminded of a Kathleen Hanna lyric: how many girls stay awake all night too scared to sleep and too scared to fight back i know you know what i'm talking about another woman killed and hardly a pout about it green river killer my fucking ass the cops have gotta be deaf, dumb, and spastic to not catch the killer of a hundred women i guess it'd be different if they thought we were human i wanna know what love is what the fuck if we all got guns to off the fucking pigs and all the other motherfuckers raping the children they paint like dolls jon benet didn't scream because she never fucking was come on now the police aren't gonna save you they're part of the problem that society gave you locking up black men for whistling in the wind you see a mirage when you call the cop your friend i wanna know what love is the killers and the cops give us special advice like cross your legs and act fucking nice while they kill us off old and fucking young for breathing, relieving, and having fun they'll keep you scared so you have to have a boyfriend and take your kids away if you're a la la lesbian arrest you for whoring then rape you in the car it's time we point the fingers at who the real criminals are i wanna know what love is i want you to show me so i'll stay awake almost every night a pen in my hand and in the other a knife cuz i'd rather be scared and fight back than be some dick's maid, babe or wife i don't care how we get it but we'll get it someday Yeah, I suppose you’re right… still, I can’t imagine not fighting back under ANY circumstance. If I was alone, with a friend, or with several friends. I’ve been thinking a lot about these poor girls, and I’m reminded of a Kathleen Hanna lyric:

how many girls stay awake all night
too scared to sleep and too scared to fight back
i know you know what i’m talking about
another woman killed and hardly a pout about it
green river killer my fucking ass
the cops have gotta be deaf, dumb, and spastic
to not catch the killer of a hundred women
i guess it’d be different if they thought we were human

i wanna know what love is

what the fuck if we all got guns
to off the fucking pigs and all the other motherfuckers
raping the children they paint like dolls
jon benet didn’t scream because she never fucking was
come on now the police aren’t gonna save you
they’re part of the problem that society gave you
locking up black men for whistling in the wind
you see a mirage when you call the cop your friend

i wanna know what love is

the killers and the cops give us special advice
like cross your legs and act fucking nice
while they kill us off old and fucking young
for breathing, relieving, and having fun
they’ll keep you scared so you have to have a boyfriend
and take your kids away if you’re a la la lesbian
arrest you for whoring then rape you in the car
it’s time we point the fingers at who the real criminals are

i wanna know what love is
i want you to show me

so i’ll stay awake almost every night
a pen in my hand and in the other a knife
cuz i’d rather be scared and fight back
than be some dick’s maid, babe or wife

i don’t care how we get it but we’ll get it someday

Just looked it up: apparently after a couple girls had been taken into other rooms and dispatched, some of the others discussed whether they should try to get loose and either escape or overpower Speck. They couldn't agree on whether to resist or not, and didn't have much time to argue the matter anyway.

He started with just Corazon Amurao, if I remember right, and the others kept drifting in from dates and studying and such over several hours. I think And he separated them, as time went on, so they couldn't really get together ona plan. He also led each girl into another room to kill them, so the others didn't know for sure just what was going on. (They were tied pretty tightly too, with sailor's knots which are notoriously hard to undo.) You have to remember, he didn’t have all eight/nine of the girls all together at the beginning.
