And the New York Times article announcing the verdict could not be shorter.
This is just painfully indicative of how violence against women, NO MATTER THEIR OCCUPATION, is not only acceptable but commonplace.
This man killed five women! FIVE. And they get two sentences in the Times.
I was disgusted until I found this article by Bloomberg.com, a United Kingdom and Ireland online publication that humanizes these women:
Adams spent her childhood in a suburban home, playing the piano, riding horses and going to Girl Scouts, according to U.K. media reports. Clennell was the daughter of a civil engineer and a nurse. Alderton wanted to be a model and spoke fluent Greek. Nicholls studied to become a beautician, while Nicol trained as a hairdresser.
The article isn't perfect, but at least it gives us their names. Shame on you New York Times.

Seriously, this is the shit I was talking about in the "cunt" post comments. You get all riled up that the Times used the word "prostitute." For fuck's sake, it's an accurate title. He killed five women in England. England. Not New York City, this is how newspapers work. Were these crimes to have taken place in NYC, or even the states, it would have gotten a longer story.
Also, note that this is not a NYT article, it is off of the Reuters wire service, not written by anyone at the Times. Settle the fuck down.
Also, another correction, Bloomberg is not a "United Kingdom and Ireland online publication." It is based in New York City and was founded by some dude named Michael Bloomberg. Those of you who live in the City and are not dead to the world might realize that he's your mayor.
Perhaps I was a little rude in the language I chose to use here, sorry about that. The substance, on the other hand, I stand by completely.
