The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsMy Perception of the Homolka Case

Right about now just about everybody in Canada and many throughout the world know about the Karla Homolka case CNN.com.
After being sentenced to 12 years for manslaughter in the slaying of two schoolgirls in Ontario and the 1990 death of her 15 year old sister, she was released from a prison in Quebec, Canada. Upon her release, Homolka sought a ban on the English-speaking media and chose to be interviewed only in French, claiming that the English-speaking media spent years degrading her name and flat-out mistreating her in the news. Considering what she went to prison for, I can hardly blame the media for telling the truth.
Talk about psychological manipulation. Choosing not to speak to the majority of society (that is to say a heck of a lot more people in this world speak English than French) suggests that Homolka was attempting to hold power over people in a most subtle and detestable way. Do you really think that someone who is mentally bent on holding power over people – be it by domineering a little child or controlling mainstream society – is able to change into a better person if she’s fresh out of prison and right back to her old habits? Sure, I guess time served means you are allowed a fresh start in life, but do you really think a demented sole who instantly peeves people off is capable, or even willing, to get a positive start? You know, she said immediately that she was afraid she would be killed once she was out of prison, but then once she got out, she came across like she was looking for confrontation by refusing to speak the language of the majority. I, for one, am not buying it that she’s reformed.

Prison sure didn't do much for her looks. LOL Her attitude leaves a lot to be desired also. I think they should of left her to rot. I saw the trackback on my blog so I thought I'd come over see what this one was all about. I have you blogrolled :)
