Let’s cease specializing in motives: One of the outrageous issues that we (society) hear on the information is that the police are nonetheless in search of the motive. I recommend that probably that police manpower or police energy be directed elsewhere. When somebody kills after which we search for a motive, that means that somebody, apart from the killer, had the ability to cease the killing. The in search of the motive suggests that somebody might have stopped the killer from killing (by redirecting the motive or eliminating the motive). For instance, what if the police discover that the motive of a person killing his spouse was as a result of his spouse wouldn’t keep within the house? Does that imply that it is the spouse’s fault for not staying within the house and that’s the reason she was killed (therefore, the motive was to maintain the spouse remoted)?
Solely the killer can cease the killer: Suppose the motive was that the killer needed the individual’s cash or possessions, they usually discover that was the motive, does that imply the individual might have prevented his personal killing by giving up the cash? Does that imply that the sufferer had an element in his personal homicide? No. It does not imply that, however it actually feels like that when newspapers and media demand to know the motive for killing. Sure, everybody understands that individuals must know the motive and which may assist convict the killer, however the media shouldn’t strive the case. And the media shouldn’t even be involved about motives.
Generally it’s so apparent; why search? A few of the most ridiculous tales that we hear on the information is when a man kills his spouse and he was caught red-handed and confessed, and but the media are nonetheless in search of the motive. Let me prevent some footwork and investigative work. When a person kills his spouse or when a man kills his girlfriend the one motive for the killing is to control the spouse or girlfriend. Case closed; motive discovered. Why waste police {dollars} and police manpower trying to find motives when the motives are fairly apparent. Probably this sort of story sells newspapers and so , page after page after paper after paper seems to be for the motive.
Honor the victims and households; cover the murderers’ tales: To the victims and their households, all of them know that these strains or tales in regards to the police in search of the motive sicken them to loss of life. They hear that somebody is in search of the motive of the killing they usually surprise, hey is not it apparent what the motive is? KILLING! The motive is killing. This individual, whether or not sane or insane merely needed to kill and to control their victims, interval, finish of story, no thriller.
The motive was to kill: The motive is killing. Some cowardly, controlling people merely need to kill folks they usually do it simply because they need to -for no matter motive they’ve deluded themselves with, they merely need to kill. They assume they’ll do after which they do it.
Media can change issues for the higher: Media, please, even when the police must search for a motive, do you actually need to harp on it or print it and even print that you’re puzzled as to the motive? It is simply plain ridiculous to assume that somebody, that society must know why they killed. Solely the killer (and God) can cease a killing. Figuring out the motive can not cease the killing. Understanding the motive , listening to the motive or uncovering the motive can not cease one single killing and it would not make the households really feel any higher. Who the heck cares why. We simply care that somebody harmless was murdered. We simply care that justice is served and the killer will get behind bars and stays there for a really very very long time. That is all sinhala motivation.
Sorry households: Unite to have media change their focus. Write to the papers and cease shopping for newspapers that target the face of the killer. To all households of victims, I’m sorry for the media’s response to the story. They simply don’t have any clue.
And to the general public — when the newspapers put the murderers’ footage on the entrance page, don’t pay cash for that newspaper. Allow us to present in power that we’ll not pay cash for the image of a assassin on the entrance page. Allow us to present that we’ll not help any newspaper that has a assassin’s face on the entrance page. Possibly that may change the best way that we’re given the information. Entrance pages are for heros and murderers usually are not heros. What prompted me to write down this text was that at this time, there was one other story a few man who stabbed his spouse and stabbed his baby and close to the top of the story, the media stated that police are nonetheless in search of the motive.
We, as a society involved about harmless folks, must cease giving publicity to murderers and to their motives and start focusing extra on the households, the victims, on serving to them heal; then and solely then will we start to cease homicide in our society, as a result of certainly a number of the motives are to be a hero within the media. Sure some kill to be a hero on the entrance page. Our newspapers must cease giving murderers precisely what they need.
What good is it to deal with motive? The motive is that he needed his spouse and baby lifeless. Interval. Finish of story. The person was a assassin and he demanded that they be lifeless. That was his motive. Nobody might have prevented this homicide besides God and besides the assassin. In God’s arms, this lady and baby keep, and we hope that within the arms of a most facility, this assassin stays.
