The thing most of them had in common was that a woman could argue she felt uncomfortable as a potential victim of masculinity. Yet feeling uncomfortable is not dangerous.

The trick in this ideological war is to convince debtors to imagine that general prosperity depends on paying bankers and making bondholders rich – a veritable Stockholm Syndrome in which debtors identify with their financial captors.

Green's first victim was found on the North York Moors, which is why the papers called him the 'Beast of Whitby'.

Je m'adresse à tous ceux qu'on n'a jamais aimés, Qui n'ont jamais su plaire; Je m'adresse aux absents du sexe libéré, Du plaisir ordinaire. Ne craignez rien, amis, votre perte est minime : Nul part l'amour n'existe. C'est juste un jeu cruel dont vous êtes les victimes; Un jeu de spécialistes.

he can either directly repeat what was done to him, like Simons, and will then most likely choose victims who represent himself, or he may symbolically avenge his suffering, and will then be more likely to select victims who represent the original tormentor.

Simons admitted to being sodomised as a young boy, during which he was the passive victim. The only way he could master this abuse was by repeating it, and by identifying with his tormentor by becoming the active aggressor. He reversed the passive-active roles.

Control and power go hand in hand and there is no greater power than power over life and death. The moment one has another's life literally in one's hands, one is ultimately powerful, almost godlike. When one is in this position, one is no longer the victim, since someone else has become the victim.

The murders were more deed-focused than process-focused. The actual murder of the victim and setting him alight was much more important to the killer than meticulous planning or an attempt to conceal the bodies.

The killer was bitter and revenge-motivated. He could not control his aggression. He felt that he had been a victim in life and had no internal locus of control. He would probably assault his wife and would not tolerate any resistance. The killer was cold-hearted and had absolutely no respect for human life.

In my opinion, an interesting switch had taken place. Boetie had been a passive victim of emotional, sexual and physical abuse as a child.
