[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously this is terrible and please don't misconstrue anything I'm about to write as a defense of what this woman did. She murdered someone, it's terrible, I feel awful for the victim and her family. No one deserves that.

I used to see stuff like this and view it with detachment, like "oh that person must just be a bad person, I can't relate, why are people so terrible." But I went through something in the last few years (not a cheating partner, thankfully, something totally different) and experienced what I can only describe as social humiliation. It was crushing and really messed me up. I feel like I'd been deprived of my humanity, unfairly. I got very paranoid for a time and felt like everyone I knew was laughing at me and pitying me behind my back. I wound up quitting my job for a time, doing intensive therapy, and making several other big changes, and eventually got through it. It was the hardest thing I've ever done.

But now I understand how this stuff happens. I didn't kill anyone when this happened to me and I really don't think I would (I'm a pacifist and abhor guns), but now I get how it happens. [i]When you feel humiliated in this way, it feels like there is nothing left to lose. If you are convinced that everyone hates you anyway, especially if it feels like they hate you for things that are not your fault and out of your control, it's like, well what's left? It's like your connection to society is severed. It's terrifying.

I think PPs are right that her anger stemmed from feeling like she was losing her plan for her future, and feeling this woman stole it from her. But I think the thing that made her willing to kill this woman, instead of just yelling at her spreading nasty rumors or something, was the sense of humiliation. It was being lied to and then finding out, feeling like everyone was in on a joke that she was the butt of. Or at least that's what I think. When I was going through this, I had violent thoughts I can't believe I had. Thoughts that scared me.

I've since vowed that if anyone I know ever goes through there, to show up and let them know they are loved and valued, that I'm not laughing at them. To remind them they are still human and they are still connected to someone. I wish this woman had had something like that.[/quote]

The other thing is that both the boyfriend and the deceased were top competitors in their sport. Them coming together almost seems like star-crossed fate especially if you read the full arrest record and see the scorned woman was complaining to friends that her boyfriend didn't want her on his cycling runs because she was slow and not as good as the competitor - he told this to her face.

She must have felt rejected personally and in her 'hobby' profession while they were seen as stars who could do no wrong.

That said she's CUCKCOO.
