I don’t see her death as a circus,I see a coming together of mother’s and fathers, brothers and sisters...trying to bring some relief for these parents worst possible “ nightmare”....Kate Middleton paid tribute...a mother herself of three.
No one can feel these parents pain,I hope they find a tiny amount of relief from the tributes paid in respect of their beloved daughter,

The murder rate for women has fallen 16% since last year, whereas the murder rate for men has gone up.

Re: Sarah Everard
Yes a life is a life but for some reason this one life is a media and internet sensation. This was a middle class successful woman who had attended a top university, her father is a professor at another university. Such a death causes public displays of grief but thousands of others happen all the while under the radar. They are the forgotten ones. So many children go missing every year and cases are closed after perfunctory checks, yet the Maddie case cost £11.7m. Is it because the parents were both doctors, the father a cardiologist. It seems that victims with good looks and affluent backgrounds are mourned by the press a tad more than the thousands of victims with less wealthy backgrounds. How many tragic cases do not get a visit from the royals? If they did we would never stop mourning because there are so many of them forgotten and the cases closed.

When somebody is murdered, I never bother to find out what their background is, I am just sad that yet another life has been taken!
I can't speak for the others on here, but I have known many of them for a long time and feel confident in suggesting that members on here are usually sympathetic when anybody suffers, whether they are attractive & come from wealthy backgrounds, or not.
As I said earlier in this thread, perhaps we should wait till we know more about what happened, from the trial!

Re: Sarah Everard
I'm a sympathetic person but cynical about the media stirring up all this semi-hysterical fuss because it fills some column inches or TV airtime. As d00d says, it's turned into a circus. All murders are tragic, but nobody would care all that much if a young man from what is deemed to be a sink estate got knifed to death on the street. They probably just mentally shrug their shoulders, think "gang related" and move on to the next article without a second thought.Let's all reflect for a moment on this young woman's very sad death but let's not get carried away with jumping onto the latest media bandwagon.

Knowing this will have for the rest of their lives. Not all victims are good looking and affluent .Your entire post and I have noticed this before is riddled with bitterness and anger against what you consider the affluent classes .Loss and grief are the same for everyone.
