Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

In the video, the man can be seen strangling his sister, Maria, to death. The man did so in front of their family members. Afterwards, the father hands over a bottle of water to the man. Maria's honour killing bore resemblance to the murder of social media star Qandeel Baloch in 2016. Dubbed as Pakistan's Kim Kardashian, 26-year-old Baloch's brother Muhammad Waseem murdered her for "bringing dishonour" to the family. The case caught the attention of the country and was said to be the most high-profile honour killing in Pakistan in recent times. Waseem, who admitted of having no remorse of killing his sister, was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2019. However, he was released in 2022 after Baloch's mother pardoned him of the crime. A legal technicality in Pakistan allows a victim's mother to forgive the offender of the crime.

That pretty much says it all.

Also, the fact that they didn't think twice about video recording this. Their town will probably throw them a parade for protecting their family reputation.

Dude,you're ------ in the head. These constant posts about monstrous things done by brown people, are what?

A way to dehumanize Muslims and by extension Palestinians and anyone else against Israeli Genocide. You Cheerlead for Ethnic Slaughter.

You've gone from passively condoning War Crimes and Murders to Agitprop actively seeking to promote it.

Just a Sick Puppy. I feel sorry for your parents if they're alive.

It must suck to be that full of Fear and That incited to harm others.

I hope you feel better soon.

This is pretty effed up. But being Pakistan it is not likely to change. And, they will probably get a parade.

The calmness with which they murdered that woman. It's absolutely chilling. Apparently it was a family event as they killed her in front of one of her siblings who then reported it to the police.

No, this just shows how effed up some cultures are. Ours isn't perfect but Pakistan is special kind of effed. And yes several other "brown Muslim" countries are too.

How is this something any reasonable person could condone today and where is MonkeyHooHa to explain/defend it?

We could post all the heinous things done by Russian swine, but you'd cry about that too.

Ummm .. talking of effed up, you can't compare one mentally sick family with all the weekly school shootings and mass shootings your effed up culture has.

And why the hell would I defend criminals?

This was caught on camera. In over 95% of murders caught on camera, you get the death penalty (hanging).

Do I support the death penalty? Yes, I most certainly do.

Yeah, we have a lot of killings. That sort of thing happens when you hand out guns like candy to any moron who can rub two cents together.

But Pakistan has a lot more than "one mentally sick family." The stats suggest around 1,000 honor killings a year in Pakistan. en.wikipedia.org And that's just the number that is reported. That suggests a fundamental problem to me, much like how certain communities (not Pakistan) chop off their girl's naughty bits to keep them pure. en.wikipedia.org

Doubt that will happen here, though. As in many other honor killings, the girl's mother will forgive because she is also the wife or mother of the killers and apparently that's all it takes to get away with murder in Pakistan. Barbaric.

I disagree with your characterization of the video.

But in any event, something like 1,000 people a year are murdered in Pakistan for honor killings. Worldwide, that number is about 5,000 women and girls a year according to the U.N. Seems to be a significant issue to me.

I thought that the video shows the callousness with which certain segments of humanity treat the lives of their own families. Placing some idiotic notion of "honor" above the lives of their own daughter or sister.

But, since you brought it up, did you ask that same question on the videos other users here post regarding other deaths? If not, why not?

#13 | Posted by censored at 2024-03-30 11:22 AM | Reply

Because other posters don't constantly put up similar garbage like sick pervs?

Just a thought.

Sorry, but I don't look at every story here, and even when I do, I don't always leave a comment. I don't feel the need to drop my two cents in on every topic.

I have a problem with videos showing people dying, and I don't go out of my way to see them or, naturally, promote them for a version of entertainment.

I've never watched the George Floyd video, for example. I've read enough descriptions of it (hundreds?) to know what I need to know.

Years ago I read about a local politician who killed himself during a live broadcast of a press conference. I found the video and watched it all the way to the end. Cameraman did an amazing job keeping his ---- together. I've never gotten it out of my mind.

Wiki is not a source... it gives the number as 500 something. You just want it to be higher. And they are quoting an estimate by Human Rights organization, that has been discredited before for proving exaggerated numbers of everything.

That's how they make money, you see. LOL

Basically, your numbers are coming out of your arse.

the girl's mother will forgive because she is

Nope. Not when it's all on video that is on social media.

Death penalty it is.

That's an African thing. You need to ask BOAZ... if he still posts here... why it's an African thing.

470 in 2021. Mostly in some village.

The sooner most village people kill themselves, the better. I don't give a damn.

Worry about your own. You have MUCH to worry about.

Gun violence in the United States

en.wikipedia.org

In 2022, up to 100 DAILY fatalities and hundreds of daily injuries were attributable to gun violence in the United States.

Barbaric.

Thing is.... when I go to the corner store and buy milk and eggs... I am sure I will NOT be honor-killed when I turn the corner. LOL

In the US, on the other hand, I can be killed without warning. Without reason. At any time of the day.

100 dead a day.

Barbaric.

If you lot can't handle guns, you have no right to have them.

I saw that video. Actually affected my opinion on that cop's behavior. Some people were defending the cop saying he was dealing with an out of control 220 lb druggie. But the video showed the cop kneeling on a man's neck for nine minutes, three of those minutes during which the guy wasn't moving (and, IIRC, bystanders were pleading with the cop to stop).

Personally, I don't like to rely upon someone else's possibly biased summary when I can draw my own opinion. Particularly when our politically correct society stops reporters from stating facts the some people find distasteful.

Like when activists were claiming that Ma'Khia Bryant was the victim of police brutality. But even a glance at the video showed that she had pulled back a knife and was getting ready to cut a beach. Cops actually did what they were supposed to do to protect the life of another in that case, but the usual suspects showed up to fan the flames of racial victimization (and get themselves a piece of the government settlement money pie) even though the target of that knife was also Black.

Death penalty it is. [...] #16 | Posted by Monkeybars

Are you blatantly denying Pakistan's system of Diyat blood money? The murderer just claims that it was an accident and gets the parent's pardon, and all is forgiven. It goes something like this: "We didn't mean to murder the girl. Sure, it looked like intentional murder, but we're just really good actors. Wanted to frighten her a bit is all." Pakistan: Amend Abusive Blood Money' Laws Stop Treating Murder as a Private Matter

Worry about your own. LOL #18 | Posted by Monkeybars
Yeah, that's literally how Pakistanis, and some other Muslim nations, justify the concept of blood money. The rest of society need not concern themselves that maniacal murders are wandering the streets to kill in the name of honor or their god. Thank you for confirming.

Are you blatantly denying

No my mouth-breathing friend, no.

I am saying that when there is video evidence, the Stare becomes a party and it can easily override the blood money clause.

Meanwhile, worry about your own sordid butcher-shop of a nation.

Yeah, that's literally how Americans justify the concept of gunning some down. The rest of society need not concern themselves that maniacal murders are wandering the streets to kill in the name of the 2nd Amendment. Thank you for confirming.
