They don't strike as frequently as men, and it goes against the grain of how we view our mothers, grandmothers, sisters, aunts and daughters. When women kill, we're shocked and riveted to see those we traditionally view as nurturers, problem solvers and soothers tagged as murderers.

"Most kill for romance, love or finance," said Vernon Geberth, a former homicide commander with the New York Police Department who wrote the book "Practical Homicide Investigations." "They tend to kill less violently and in more passive ways, for the most part," he added.

Then you probably shouldn't read any books by Ann Rule. You'll never visit Washington State because it is awash in serial killers.

The best assassins in history have been women.

they already get lighter sentences for murder than men. hardly any are ever executed in the states that still have balls enough to do the right thing.

they weep and cry and the paternal justice system looks at them like their victim daughter and gives them a lesser punishment.

I understood snowbird = “transplanted northerner.”
Are northerners moving to Florida then killing someone they don’t know?

I agree. I've always preferred the natural look, as there's no need to further enhance tits.

And "perky" is one of my favorite words; every time I hear it, I picture a great tit.

Okay, that's quite enough of that...

That's my understanding also.

That does sound rather odd, doesn't it?
