Rest in peace, prayers to her loved ones.

Femicide is, etymologically, the wrongful killing of women explicitly because they are women. The acts described align with domestic violence. The push to use the term as a catch-all for all homicides of women is deeply disrespectful to the dead.

Kinda why part of me still thinks some form of "Eye for an Eye" laws should exist. If you going to just set someone on fire for the hell of it, your punishment should be getting set on fire.

I've discussed it before but I'm all about a life for a life. If you punch someone's ticket yours should get punched next.

Very sad hearing this story. R.I.P. to her and they need to throw that dude into a bubbling vat of oil.
