There is no excuse for killing anybody. RIP Astrid.
What makes me react are certain agressive and vindicative posts here.
Read this news: "A 29 year old Thai woman has killed a 46 year old Farang for continuoulsly humiliating and stalking her"
What is your first reaction? And the second reaction? Didn't you try to find some extenuating circumstances to explain what may have pushed her to this horrible act?
Now, why this 29yo guy could not benefit from extenuating circumstances or at least a bit of understanding as would have the Thai lady in the example above? Because we are in a patriarchic, machistic society maybe? And we want to keep it? Modern civilized society has created over centuries laws that takes into account fair elements in a situation. I wish the court will consider them.
The German Lady had 46 years of, hopefully, a happy and fun life, with no judgment on her activities in Thailand or wherever. The guy, at 29, has now his life ruined forever.
If I pray, I will pray for Astrid, and for the guy. And before this I will pray and act as much as I can that exploitation of wo/man by wo/man stops!
