Strollin' Johnny, I don't know what case you're talking about. Maybe this one's being reported a lot differently in the UK than it is here. Her parents didn't need money, they were fairly wealthy, and I don't understand the 'commodity' comment.

I'd like to know when a little kid playing dress-up in a pageant is the same incitement to rape and murder as a full grown woman wearing a short skirt or showing a lot of cleavage. Well, they aren't exactly the same thing because it's no longer acceptable to blame adult women for getting raped because they wore the wrong clothes. Apparently, it's still ok to blame a childs grieving parents.

When I think of all the times I dressed up in Mommy's clothing and makeup when I was a kid, when I think of all the Halloweens and games I played pretending to be an adult, when I think of school shows and dancing like teenagers at friends' houses and parties, it's a wonder I escaped childhood without getting raped and murdered. Maybe there just weren't that many adults back then who believed any sort of child's play gives an adult enough excuse to be a child predator. I don't have a problem with pageants. I have a problem with blaming victims. It takes a bit of a sick mind to believe that a little kid in a costume should be considered a sex object.

This is 100% the killer's fault, and attempts to blame Jon Benet or her parents, or pageants is an attempt to at least partly justify his crime.
