It may be the lesser of the evils that are around but as a so called civilised nation we should be able to control our urges or if they are getting out of control seek help. Just because they have an urge does not give them the right to put the lives of others at risk of catching a "nasty" they caught while "having fun" just because they can do.

Very true but seems a small preportion of them cant of excuse they cant but think about it these days there isn't much restrictions on things nowadays thats controlled!

Re: disgrace to the media
 

A minority of men may have the sex drive that matches a sports cars power but it is no excuse to go out and take risks. Would it be worth it if they are named and shamed because they are in court for curb crawling? Whoever is responsible for the killings are deranged persons but not intrested in the sex part. They might have a grudge or a hatred for these womens profession and decided in a phsycotic moment to hand out their idea of justice regaurdless of the fall out and pain on the unfortunate families of the victims.

Re: disgrace to the media
 

That was the yorkshire rippers excuse to manifest justice towards these women! Even if u name & shame the curb crawlers there would be many wives & kids whom had no idea & could have effects more on them especially publically than the perpretrator himself who may take glory from it - saddo's

Re: disgrace to the media
 

Although it's 99% likely to be correct there's an assumption on this thread that the killer is male !!

Re: disgrace to the media
 

So it could be a wife/gf/daughter hell bent on revenge?

Easy to say not to bow down to media pressure & hype when u think it wont happen to you - strangely i know it does & when someone u know has been prey to these sicko's then u realise it does happen & makes u more the wary - i particulary dont like going out in the dark on my own, some cases u have to but it is scary & u need your witts about u!!

Re: disgrace to the media
 

Sometimes the hype is needed because of the danger involved but it has to be even. One of the opinions stating that the police watched and did nothing is appaling and sets a bad example as well as increasing fear.

In my opinion the folowing hit the nail on the head;

"Can we stop calling these young women prostitutes ?
they have the same rights as anyone else
and as we have seen from other serial murderers women in general are vulnerable
This killer needs catching, don't alienate men or women who can help"

"
Will the police pursue this case less vigorously because "only" prostitutes have been killed?"

Re: disgrace to the media
 

If the killer seems to be targetting one section of the community surely it is valid to report that. It could well have a bearing on motive.



I very much doubt it. Murder is murder whatever the profession of the victim(s).

Re: disgrace to the media
 

I am not questioning the reporting I am just wary of how the police and to a certain extent the media will handle it. How long before the victims families start to suffer more especially at the hands of the media and others. It wont be long before the families are in the eyes of some held responsible for the victims lifestyle.

Re: disgrace to the media
 

Well if they have sex with people for money there ARE prostitutes! Yes theu are women but they are also prostitutes so they are not saying anything untrue so you cant say anything!

Re: disgrace to the media
 

Blooming heck theres concern for a 5th:eek:

Police investigating the deaths of three prostitutes have said they are concerned for two other missing women.
