Curious Patterns With Recent Husband Killers

SAVE

December 9, 2024

These are some recent cases in which women killed their husbands (or attempted to). Notice a pattern? These cases all involve people whom you don’t normally associate with violent crime. They’re generally college- (or higher) educated, affluent and white.

Curiously, they’re also all from conservative parts of the country. Conservatives have a tendency to place women on pedestals. Is this what happens when that goes too far?

Florida

Dan Markel (2014) – Law professor at FSU killed in an ambush killing/murder for hire. His ex-wife was also a law professor there (so far she hasn’t been charged). Her brother, who was an oral surgeon, got a life sentence for arranging the murder for hire. Her mother, who was the office manager for the oral surgery practice has been charged with his murder and was arrested at Miami International while attempting to flee the country. Couple was in midst of custody dispute.
Jared Bridegan (2022) – Microsoft sales executive killed in an ambush killing/murder for hire. Ex-wife has been charged with capital murder. She’s a college graduate and heiress. Couple was in midst of custody dispute.
Doug Benefield (2020) – Former Navy pilot who worked as a consultant for technology companies and government contractors. Wife was convicted of killing him. She was a professional ballet dancer. Couple had previously had a custody dispute but reconciled. Wife killed husband prior to leaving him again.

Utah

Matthew Johnson (2024) – Full time National Guardsman who was shot while he slept. His estranged wife has been charged with his murder.

Georgia

Eric Richins (2023) – Wealth insurance company executive and former Auburn football star. His estranged wife, a former Auburn cheerleader, has been charged with attempted murder for trying to arrange a murder for hire. She was reportedly angry with her estranged husband because he wouldn’t allow her to use the family jet after their separation.

Spanish Councilor Carla Toscano Calls Out Feminist Hatred and Lies

Carla Toscano

Councilor and Assistant Spokesperson

Vox Party, Madrid City Hall

September 24, 2024

Twitter introduction:

Feminism has normalized hatred, the violation of rights, and institutional abuse against men. And this must be denounced. For all good men.

Statement to the Madrid City Council announcing a new initiative, “Elimination of hateful discourse against men, and for the active defense of equality and dignity.”

This Initiative is for all the good men, for all the decent men. Workers who have given everything for their families, who represent the majority of men. For all the men who have lived, who now live, and will live, who face the hell of feminism in their lives.

For all those good men whose lives were normal, with their work, their sorrows, their happiness. Until one day, a woman decided to ruin their life and accuse them of violence.

For all those men who have spent nights in jail, because of a woman in the space of “Equality” at the Madrid City Hall. Those Centers where they tell women that men are oppressing them, that love and marriage oppress them, that tell lies about him in order to destroy him.

Nights in jail because CAPSEM, the Center of the City Hall to Assist Women, issued a report based solely on a woman’s word without any proof, in order that the Community of Madrid would grant her a false accreditation of victimization, with the accompanying financial payments.

For all those good men, because of these false accusations — which are supported by the gender laws — who have lived, now live, and will live, who are vilified and experience incarceration, sleepless nights, severe stress, depression, loss of hair, loss of teeth, thoughts of suicide, loss of their honor and good name, and above all, loss of their children.

For all those men who couldn’t tolerate this any longer, who left us half-way in their lives, and are now looking at us from heaven.

For all these good men, I insist that the majority who are seen as innocent, good fathers, good sons – they are criminalized every day by the institutions. Many times, through hate-filled speech, so normalized that the woman remains free.

And many times, by means of active policies — like the Law of Gender Violence, the Law of Sexual Freedom, the Violet Points, the Municipal Network Against Gender Violence, the municipal campaigns, the Madrid Zero Violence Program — that claim that violence is one-directional, always from the man to the woman.

Policies that also presume a business that moves millions, that impose a false narrative on the collective conscious, that the man is always the aggressor.

I wish I could erase all the pain, all the injustice. I wish I could erase every lie, every tear. But we cannot.

What we can do is raise our voices to defend them. What you can do, as persons who govern, is to return their dignity to all the men in Madrid and in Spain. To those who treat them by law in an unequal way, those who have stolen so many of their rights, even regarding their children.

You can eliminate all hateful speech, you can visualize their suffering and their pain. When they are murdered by their wives, give them the minute of silence that you are currently denying them. You can and should return to them the presumption of innocence, their honor, and their decency.

This Initiative is not for the aggressors – for them, jail and stronger punishments.

This Initiative is for all the good men, like Jesús, Rafa, Carlos, Pablo, Carliños, Miguel Angel. So some day they can live in peace and equality, recovering their pride as persons, recovering the love of their children, and recovering the respect that society owes them, which never should have been taken from them.

Surge of Female-Perpetrated Domestic Homicides

SAVE

September 21, 2024. Updated October 11 and October 25, 2024

Thousands of studies over the last 40 years show conclusively that domestic violence is not a gendered phenomenon – men and women commit and are victimized by domestic violence at near equal rates.

There is evidence going back 20 years that younger women have become significantly more violent in recent years. Accordingly, a flurry of stories have been published in recent weeks about women who murdered their male partners. In some of these cases, the women made false allegations of domestic violence against their partners, claimed self-defense, or both.

The following media reports, listed in reverse chronological order, suggest that police and prosecutors may be doing a better job of seeing through the false narrative that domestic violence consists of male perpetrators and female victims:

Department of Justice Domestic Violence Law Enforcement Press Release

DOJ’s Kristen Clarke Stabbed Her Husband, Then Engaged in a Five-Year Cover-Up

Post author By Edward Bartlett
Post date May 1, 2024

PRESS RELEASE

Rebecca Hain: 513-479-3335

Email: info@saveservices.org

DOJ’s Kristen Clarke Stabbed Her Husband, Then Engaged in a Five-Year Cover-Up

WASHINGTON / May 2, 2024 – The Centers for Disease Control reports that more men than women are victims of domestic violence. Each year, 6.5 million men, compared to 5.7 million women, fall prey to intimate partner aggression (1).

Consistent with these findings, a new report reveals a high-level female official at the U.S. Department of Justice attacked her husband, evaded prosecution, and sought to remove the incident from the public record.

A recent Daily Signal exposé reveals the following (2):

On July 4, 2006, Kristen Clarke attacked her husband, Reginald Avery, slicing his finger to the bone. Maryland police arrested Clarke that night. A criminal case against Clarke was initiated in the District Court of Maryland.
On Oct. 17, 2006, a Maryland state attorney entered a request of “nolle prosequi,” effectively dismissing the charge without a trial.
On January 10, 2008, Clarke obtained an “Order for Expungement of Police and Court Records” for the arrest, thereby obscuring the incident from the public record.
On January 7, 2021, President-elect Joe Biden nominated Clarke to serve as the head of the Department of Justice’s high-profile Civil Rights Division.
During her April 21 confirmation hearing, Sen. Tom Cotton asked nominee Clarke, “Since becoming a legal adult, have you ever been arrested for or accused of committing a violent crime against any person?” Clarke dishonestly answered, “No.”

The weakening and dissolution of the nuclear family has long been a central objective of Marxist activists (3). Accordingly, feminists have created numerous domestic violence myths that are designed to divert attention from the reality of female-initiated violence (4).

For example, Gloria Steinem famously claimed that “Patriarchy requires violence, or the subliminal threat of violence, in order to maintain itself” (5). Such falsehoods have served to frighten women and vilify men, eventually undermining the institution of marriage.

Basic notions of fairness and justice have been compromised, as well. Even though a majority of abuse perpetrators are female, the Department of Justice reports that inexplicably, 81% of intimate partner violence arrestees are male (6).

Indeed, female-perpetrated violence is a hidden epidemic in our society (7). Last week, the media reported on a Kansas mother who cut off the head of her 6-year-old son (8). One week before that, an Arizona woman pled guilty to poisoning her husband by pouring bleach into his coffee (9).

SAVE urges lawmakers to undertake a thorough re-evaluation of the domestic violence laws within their jurisdiction, to assure these policies are based on principles of science and justice, not Marxist ideology. And chivalrous judges and law enforcement personnel need to stop giving female abusers a free pass.

Over the past 25 years, abuse shelter managers have engaged in numerous instances of fiscal mismanagement and embezzlement. The CEDV report, Accountability and Oversight of Federally-Funded

Such fraudulent activities have continued to the present time, as revealed by these seven cases:

Greenbelt, Maryland – U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis sentenced Glenda Hodges, age 72, of Clinton, Maryland, yesterday to two years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, after Hodges pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud, in connection with the misuse of federal funds, and other fraud related to non-profit and for-profit entities that Hodges operated, and additional fraud committed while Hodges was on pretrial release for the wire fraud charges.

Culture of Corruption

There’s nothing new about these actions. Domestic violence advocates have engaged in fraudulent behavior for years. In 1993, for example, they promoted a story that “domestic violence spikes on Super Bowl Sunday.” However, when scholars tried to find the source for this claim, they discovered the claim was simply made-up.

Women Who Attack Women to Steal Their Unborn Babies

SAVE

January 10, 2024

There is no crime more brutal, more sinister, or more incomprehensible than a female who kills a pregnant woman with the intention of stealing the unborn baby from the dead mother’s womb. But these crimes continue to happen with disturbing regularity.

These are six incidents from the last two years:

1. Woman pleads guilty to ‘helping mother kill 19-year-old and cut baby from womb’

A Kansas woman was executed Wednesday for strangling an expectant mother in Missouri and cutting the baby from her womb, the first time in nearly seven decades that the U.S. government has put to death a female inmate.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/04/us/heidi-broussard-murder-fieramusca-guilty-plea/index.html

While these cases are fortunately rare, their incidence seems to be increasing. According to a 2021 study, there were 15 such cases reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in the 24-year period from 1987 to 2011.

However, a 2017 article, “10 Horrifying Cases Of Fetal Abduction,” identified eight examples in the United States and South Africa between 2009 and 2017.

Internationally, mothers commit 72% of all infant murders. Despite these grisly facts, groups such as the United Nations continue to white-wash female-perpetrated violence.

Exposing UN Women’s Anti-Male Bias: Reem Alsalem to Visit the UK

Exposing UN Women’s Anti-Male Bias: Reem Alsalem to Visit the UK

Domestic Abuse and Violence International Alliance

January 9, 2024

Reem Alsalem is a Jordanian international human rights advocate. Since August 2021 Alsalem has served as the United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, and is scheduled to visit the UK in early 2024. Alsalem was born in Egypt in 1976, and was educated at the American University in Cairo where she completed a master’s degree in International Relations in 2001. She subsequently graduated from Oxford in 2003 with a Masters degree in Human Rights Law.

In Womansgrid, Alsalem wrote: ‘Women and girls have a right to discuss any subject free of intimidation and threats of violence. This includes issues that are important to them, particularly if they relate to parts of their innate identity, and on which discrimination is prohibited. Holding and expressing views about the scope of rights in society based on sex and gender identity should not be delegitimised, trivialised, or dismissed.’

While most in the West would consider this to be self-evident, the UN Women’s social media posting tends to go in a different direction. Encouragement of women’s rights, activities, and achievements is frequently overshadowed by a thinly-veiled contempt for men. This puts high-minded ideas such as Alsalem’s in the shade of a controversy verging on provocation. It’s almost as if the ‘Special Rapporteur’ had no idea what was being done in her name from the UN’s marketing department.

Alsalem has also written: ‘In some cases, women politicians are sanctioned by their political parties, including through the threat of dismissal or actual dismissal’, an observation which could well be about Rosie Duffield of the UK Labour Party, who had been put under investigation for expressing such views.

Elsewhere, Alsalem has been dismissive of Parental Alienation (PA) as a psychological fact, obstreperous as it no doubt is to her wider mission, describing it as a ‘pseudo-concept.’ DAVIA has revealed,

“Ignoring the science, the UN Special Rapporteur submitted to the Human Rights Council a deeply flawed report, Custody, Violence Against Women and Violence against Children. The document refers to parental alienation as a ‘discredited and unscientific pseudo-concept,’ and recommends that countries should ‘legislate to prohibit the use of parental alienation or related pseudo concepts in family law cases.'”

We can point to numerous articles from John Barry, David Mottershead, Phil Mitchell, Mike Bell, and many more proving beyond doubt the veracity of the so-called ‘pseudo science’ of PA. But as is the way of current discourse, this evidence is dismissed at best, and attacked as biased at worst. The Parental Alienation Study Group said of the Alsalem report: ‘The Special Rapporteur literally had the resources of the whole world available to her to produce a solid report that represents the best of qualitative and quantitative research practices. The Report failed to accomplish that goal, and is deeply flawed.’

Everyone seems to have some skin in the game, and social media rewards entrenched binary positions, making it almost impossible to present mature, adult resolutions. Add to this the unlimited resources provided by VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) organisations and by the UN to continually drip their one-way – male-to-female – abuse narratives, and it is left to exasperated voices on Twitter to call out the relentless propaganda. The toxic bias is becoming easier and easier to spot, rewarded as it is by likes and reshares, all apparently without consequence.

In the UK, the case of Sally Challen brought out power-feminists in campaigning for the recently conceptualised ‘Coercive Control’ to become law. Challen had been given life for murder of her husband — reduced to manslaughter following this campaigning — due to his alleged coercive control being seen as a reasonable excuse for his wife’s hammer attack. The couple’s son David, who had turned to campaigning in support of his mother, has since become a media voice for the relentless promotion of coercive control as law.

As is often the case with unintended consequences, coercive control in law has established allegations of domestic abuse as 50/50 at best, going to majority female-incited when coercive control and psychological abuse is taken into account. This view is clearly unacceptable to the power-feminist’s VAWG monopoly.

The victimhood industry — along with the Andrew Malkinson Effect on the False Allegations Industry — continues to tank in terms of the public support and credibility it once enjoyed. Reem Alsalem continuing to freeze out dissenting voices to the biased VAWG narrative, permanently churned out by UN Women for the consumption by the catastrophically impressionable, needs itself to be called out.

Whereas, the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms the “dignity and worth of the human person” and the “equal rights of men and women.”[2]

Whereas, the United Nations has been strongly criticized for ignoring the mass rapes of Israeli women on October 7, 2023.[3]

Whereas, the United Nations is a strong advocate of transgender ideology, which serves to violate the dignity and worth of women.[4]

Whereas, the United Nations has yet to acknowledge the global problem of female abusers or the existence of male victims.[5]

Whereas, the United Nations seeks to weaken the family by promoting controversial comprehensive sexuality education, diminishing parental authority, and seeking to redefine the very concept of “family.”[6]

Whereas, numerous countries have expressed dissatisfaction with the use of pressure tactics to approve controversial UN resolutions.[7]

Whereas, S. 3428 recently was introduced in Congress calling for the United States to disengage from the United Nations.[8]

Whereas, Israeli ambassador Gilad Erdan recently called for the defunding of key UN agencies.[9]

Therefore, the undersigned persons and groups call for nations and donor organizations to suspend their funding of the United Nations until all UN agencies fulfill their pledge to respect the “dignity and worth” of all persons and assure the “equal rights of men and women.”

MEN TOO Documentary Exposes Inconvenient Truths About Domestic Violence

By Sean Bw Parker

November 24, 2023

Odette Van Rensburg is a South African documentary filmmaker, whose last two pieces have been Disconnected (about suicide) and The Bonfire of Agreed Terms (false allegations) released by Dogs On The Run films. In MENTOO – Domestic Violence Against Men, Rensburg turns her laser focus to this most egregiously under-reported of subjects.

Odette often prefers her work to speak for itself, and in the words of its own subjects. MEN TOO opens with Erin Pizzey, founder of the Women’s Refuge movement in the UK. Pizzey was discredited and disowned by the wider political-feminism movement when she dared suggest that as many men were coming for her help as women. Pizzey speaks in a non-partisan and direct way throughout, pointing out uncomfortable realities relating to how sexual politics has unfolded over time.

She is echoed by Phil Mitchell, an academic researcher and public communicator on the theme of violence against men; and from across the pond by John Davis, the man behind the Gender Studies for Men group. There is a golden thread of pain through MEN TOO, and that is the blithe deafness of the mainstream media to the plight of abused men. The stats are 50/50, weighted to women often being the main instigators when psychological abuse and coercive control are taken into account.

But this statistical reality is inconvenient for heavily-funded VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) charity programmes around the world, be they Women’s Aid, Rape Crisis or UN Women. ‘Positive Conclusions’ gives his heartbreaking testimony in disguise; Australian wokeist’s nightmare Bettina Arndt clearly hasn’t read the Sisterhood memo, and is having none of it.

The golden thread running through Rensburg’s own work is ‘stigma’, whether that be of suicide (often in the family) or living through the injustice of false allegations. These false allegations are the low-hanging fruit of VAWG, and believe the victims policies across the world (notably chronic in India, Spain, Argentina and Australia of late) have weaponised them to the hilt. Though VAWG policies are now firmly embedded in the mainstream, their shills on television and social media are acting as if they’re still in the first wave of feminism, flinging themselves in front of racehorses no matter how many Equality Acts are passed.

The reality is that reality itself is seen as obstreperous to the cause, as unnecessary as the men themselves in this deliberately concocted mirror-world. Released on International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Men, MEN TOO is a tight, snappily edited and compelling piece of visual education – and seeing Erin Pizzey keeping it brutally real after all these years is genuinely empowering.
