A Happy Canada Day?
Hello Friends, lovers, partners, family, acquaintances and quite possibly strangers.
Is it indeed a fantastic day to be a proud Canadian?
After not bothering to celebrate Canada Day when it was actually happening, I am choosing to celebrate it today instead.
Today is the day that one of our most celebrated psychopaths will re-enter Canadian society. I’ve included a URL to the story and images of her pretty face so you can commit it to memory in case you run into her hitchhiking on the side of the road. Or maybe I should say, in case you run over her hitchhiking on the side of the road.
Let me first say that I am not at all ashamed to admit that I am in full favor of the death penalty. Because of people like Karla Homolka and her ex? Husband Paul Bernardo, I believe it is ultimately a disgrace that it is not a part of Canada’s justice system.
According to modern psychology, there are three different kinds of predators out there. Allow me to illustrate them in my own words for you:
Type one is your classic DSM-V description of a looney-tick.
This guy barks like a dog when he gets hungry, spends 6-7 hours a day digging large holes in the dirt with a spoon, and after he chops up his family into small bite sized pieces, he will spend the next few months screaming and yelling at all the pieces until the police arrive. Think: Jeffrey Dahmer.
What do you do with a guy like this? The answer is simple:
You put him away in a nice safe padded room, where he can still fantasize about digging holes, and he still gets to bark like a dog when the food dish slides under his door. He is allowed to live, because it’s not really his fault that he is psychotic, and to kill him is just not right. As society needs protection from him, he also needs protection from himself. There is a huge infrastructure of systems set into place, and millions of dollars pouring into them every year for people like Jeffrey.
Type two predator is someone not that dissimilar to you or I.
An opportunity arrives, you cannot, or choose not to resist the temptation, so you do it, because you knew that you’d be able to get away with it. You do it once, and then you probably spend the rest of your life regretting it, feeling a tremendous amount of guilt and shame over it, a lot of money spent in therapy, and you never, ever do it again. Most of these kinds of predators do not get caught, or they get caught much later on in life once technology catches up to them. What is the solution to this kind of predator? Its really quite simple: Jail. You do your hard time, you feel really bad about it, it pretty much ruins your life, but once you get out, at least you’re free now, and you can still life your life.
Type 3 Predator is a different kind of predator altogether. He/she is also like you or me. They can function and have a place in society, fall in and out of love, switch careers every seven years, buy a house, have kids, have a midlife crisis. But unlike you or me, they have a really sick hobby that absolutely know one knows about, except for the victims.
In Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardos case, it was raping and torturing adolescent girls and videotaping the proceedings. I really believe that Paul Bernardo is not a psychopath. Just because he is capable of intense cruelty and inhumane acts does not a psychopath make. And neither is his wife, Karla. She baited the girls and brought them to him. Her first victim was her own kid sister. She did this for the adrenaline rush, she did this to please/appease him, she did this for the power of it. And likewise, I’m sure that fetishes aside, Paul Bernardo did what he did because of the power dynamic and the adrenaline rush. BDSM culture probably didn’t quite cut it for him, because it was probably too consensual for him. Sure, you can tie someone up, flog them with a rubber paddle, jerk off, and call it a night. But it’s still consensual, and for an asshole like Paul, there is just no fun in that.
What is the solution to a predator like Paul Bernardo and Karla Humolka? Rehabilitation? Yeah right.
With people like this, there is nothing to cure! They are not sick! Can you “cure” a homosexual? A homosexual is not sick, and nobody’s cured any of my gay friends yet. Therefore, can you “cure” someone who has a fetish for hurting little girls? I really, truly doubt it.
You see, its one thing to fantasize about inhumane sexual acts, but its something else entirely to cross the line and recreate fantasy into real life. That takes a series of decisions through a decision making process. Every step of the way, you have the choice to change your mind, but you ignore that, because you are selfish.
So ultimately you make a choice to do that, to go ahead with your plans, and you follow through. And then once you have done it, you now have a little bit of experience, so the next time you do it, you can work out the kinks in your plan.
Do it enough times, and pretty soon you will have it down to an almost fail safe science.
So how about cold hard time in jail? Maybe if he was a first offender, and if it was his only crime. But Paul Bernardo had a long list of unknown victims, and at least four known victims. This is a person with a fetish. Fetishes don’t just go away—they grow and morph. And his loving wife was every much a part of it as he was, and I don’t buy the story that he psychologically dominated her, and that she was afraid of him killing her if she didn’t obey him.
If you live in Canada, you might be wondering : where is Karla going to live when she gets out?
I’m sure she’s had a lot of time in jail to do some serious planning and thinking about this. Speaking of her time in jail, apparently she took on a female lover, and got in deep doo-doo over that. There was also evidence of a male pen-pal she had some kind of relations with who, like Bernardo, is currently doing time for rape. Is Karla rehabilitated? Doesn’t really sound like it to me.
If she was an idiot, she’d find a nice “peaceful” backwoods town in Alberta. Or maybe she’d move to Prince George, where every redneck with a 12 guage shotgun would want her head right beside last year’s trophy!
If she was smart, she would adopt a British accent, move to a third world country, where blue eyed blonde woman are revered as god-like, and no one in a million years would question why she was teaching English to teenage girls with her new boyfriend, Stinky-Tom.
There was actually a website that somebody built, who was placing $$ bets on how many days Karla would live after her release from the pen. One of the rules of the game was that if you placed a bet on how long she would live, you were not actually allowed to kill her yourself, or you’d be disqualified from the game. Of course, that is a hate crime, and CESUS intervened pretty quickly on that one, shutting down the site. I think that’s kind of unfortunate, because now I cannot place my own bet.
