Day 143

i generally try to avoid writing about current events, just because generally they already have so much media attention. but i couldn't resist writing a lil about the most talked about man in new zealand right now.
his crime is heinous, his demeanor is quite frankly fucked up, and omg, his poor parents and family, having to deal with the facts of what their son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin did.
during the trial i have watched the news most nights, read the articles online(my newspaper) and why until last thursday had i not thought about going down to the courtroom, to get a 'real' insight into the case, coz com'on, the media only reports half the story(probably more like 10%), well i don't know. was obviously a bit late by then, with everything pretty much wrapped up, but to be honest it seems a bit too voyeuristic to me to go and listen to someone else's life like that.
still, the guy is interesting, you want to dislike him on all levels, what he did was abhorrent.....truly disgusting, but to commit a crime to that extent, could there really have been any intelligent thought gone into it? surely it had to be a crime of passion fueled by total insanity. oh and we all know what a narcissist is now!
i don't know why i was so intrigued with something so sensational, but i guess as i said above, and like most new zealanders, this crime was so heinous, we can't help but be interested in knowing about the person that could commit such a crime.
