It's a strange world.

I'd just read that. Talk about carrying your outraged sensibilities too far- the teenage girl was scalped- by another woman- because the woman thought she did not respect women enough.

Oh crap. That is not something you hear about everyday. Strange story indeed.

 

[munk]

Think how strange it would be if she'd used a HI khukuri.



The curve might have been a real asset....

That's pretty dark Munk. But true.

 

[philthygeezer]

People are weird and brutal.

 

[Green Ice]

So great. Ruin a kid's life and the one who brutalized her gets only 14 years. This Dahle person should be scalped also. Kid didn't deserve it even if she was a punker.

Kid didn't deserve it even if she was a punker.>>>>>>

Darn right; we try not to scalp people even if they have bad taste in music!

Doing that to anyone, but especially a young woman, was cruel.

there are guys in abu ghraib right now saying
"f#$k! Glad I aint no teenager in idaho! Ill stay right here, thank you..."

 

[munk]

That's nothing; 90% of Japan is glad they're not in Idaho.




munk

 

[DannyinJapan]

90% of japan doesnt know what idaho is.

 

[munk]

Sure they do; a cowboy, crime, mountains, and shoot em ups.

Or what does the average Japanese think about the American West?

My town is famous for the many merders commited here with wooden clubs, but wow! that sure beats us by many miles...

 

[Jebadiah_Smith]

How does a scalping beat repeated murders with wooden clubs by miles?

 

[Ivan Campos]

That is just too cruel, and even more so in a teenager who will have to spend her life with the scars! Killing her with clubs wouldn´t be any good but would not be so psychologically painfull, and for the rest of her life.
That is really wild!

 

[Jebadiah_Smith]

Yeah, its bad. But consider the fact that we had one crazy person, who is now in custody. You have either a free murderer or a whole gang of them. Both of our societies have problems, but in my opinion one girl with emotional and physical scars is not as bad as a morgue full of bludgeoned corpses.

 

[Yvsa]

Scalping is just plain dirty.:grumpy: :barf: What a helluva thing for a young woman too go through.

 

[Ivan Campos]

JS - its not what you are thinking. It was just that for many isolated incidents that ended up in someone´s death, a club or clubs were used by the perpetrator(s), from robbery to revenge to payd murder.
It happens to have been made public countrywide and then we are famous for this now, along with being name "The Tenderness Town" - I know, it is very ironic...
Its been a few years, though, and maybe people started to spend more on ammo and this kind of murder is too common to be in the papers´ covers.
No gang of club-wielding desperados over here, luckily.

 

[Jebadiah_Smith]

Oh, I see. The club is just sort of a cultural favorite. Kind of neat in a dark way.

 

[Ivan Campos]

Hopefully, that club thing won´t become a tradition.
On the other hand, I could be the first internet dealer on "Real Tatuian Fighting Clubs"! I could even make some "enchanted" clubs to offer on Ebay!
