ITT: Guys making jokes under an article about British soldiers murdering and mutilating Agnes Wanjiru and dumping her body in a septic tank 13 years ago without facing any consequences.
Stay classy Lemmy....
Well the title and most of the article seems to be more about stopping prostitution instead of preventing murder... The article talks a lot about these women being vulnerable but doesn't really give those women any solutions other than taking away their source of income (which I would think makes them even more vulnerable). It seems like they are using the murder to push a different agenda.
The article even talks about a good number of non-transactional relationships which aren't against the rules and still sometimes results in women getting assaulted.
Maybe instead of making it against the rules they should make sure it happens somewhere where the soldiers are better monitored. Hopefully then they less likely to assault the women, and it would at the very least be easier to get justice than when a tragedy like that happens. Proving who did it is much more difficult when the victim/perpetrator have to hide their activity in the first place.
