ALTRAV is the above diatribe some kind of mitigation and justification for the action of Rowan Baxter pouring petrol over three children and their mother and setting them alight? There are a number of forumites who have similar opinions to you, being far more moderate than you, yet none are rushing in to back you up.
BTW; A relative of the murderer, has spoken about his deep dark history of violence and how he was raised to believe women were house cleaners and used for sex.

BBTW; Your pin up gal Bettina Arndt has spoken out, claiming feminism is to blame for the father’s actions (she thinks like ALTRAV with more mitigation and justification). Quicker they strip her of that O of A the better. I have written to the GG telling him her latest comments are the last straw, and expressing my disappointment in the woman being awarded an O of A. I expect I will not be the only one to write.

Here is the link for those who want to do likewise, or ALTRAV could put in his opinion.

Paul, unlike some on OLO, I stand on my own two feet, not seeking validation or affirmation.
You seem to always be at the forefront of any opportunity to sh!tstir.
I on the other hand always look for any other angles and possibilities which have kept me in good stead and ahead of the pack over the years, and not like you who simply always backs the favourite, a bad decision, not just in racing terms.
After all these years have you not learned anything about life and people?
Say what you like about me, but I will not accuse anyone of ANY wrong doing without real and truthful proof, instead of unsubstantiated, unconfirmed, allegations and public opinions, which are the worst things to ever rely on.
They are based on second or third hand hearsay and most of the time are completely incorrect.
How many people have been wrongly jailed or convicted of a crime they did not commit, simply because of the BS media and the BS public, quick to become one of the accusers because they are too gutless, ignorant and lazy to actually try to find the truth or speculate as to what ELSE may have taken place.
No Paul, don't bother commenting about me and what I say, because you will never attain a level of understanding required to be taken seriously as a THINKING man.
So let's just say that I am too hard for you to get, so just ignore me in the future, and t least, if nothing else, it will save you the time and effort to malign me, and me the time and effort to exonerate, vindicate and explain myself, unnecessarily.

ALTRAV, you leave yourself open to a charge of exercising conceited exaggeration with what you say. Take this nonsense from you;

"what if she had the knife as protection, he throws petrol over everyone, at the right moment, she lunges at him and stabs him furiously whilst he is focused on throwing the petrol around the inside of the car. He manages to set it alight, then staggers back, only to fall on the verge where he died from his wounds."

Nothing in fact, just superstition on your part, as you look for mitigation and justification for the actions of Rowan Baxter. You want to blame women, You can't understand that this guy was totally at fault in causing the deaths of his three children and their mother. There may well have been issues caused by their relationship, and what I have read that very much seems the case. However the actions of Baxter in murdering four people, is crossing a line of which he is the only one on that side, no mitigation, no justification. Wake up sunshine!

Dear Josephus,

Your earlier link to the story of Toby was a good read, thanks for posting it. Your latest about battered men when the discussion is around the incinerating of three little children and their mother is really not.

Paul, I hate to correct people, but the word is not superstition, but speculation.
No offence, it's just that I'm a bit of an OCD, or more precisely, pedantic, possibly even anal about some silly little insignificant things, like this one.
Sorry, it just plays on my mind.
I wasn't going to say anything when I read it originally on the day you posted, as you can see by the time and date of this posting, I sat on it but it just would not go away, usually until I do something about it.
Carry on.

What should play on your mind ALTRAV is the fact that on this matter you are a scum bucket! Not a real man, but an apologists for a monster. Just as you were an apologists for the paedophiles Pell and Harris previously. Trumpet what you like but the fact is you are a weak snivelling coward who fears women.

BTW; the correct word I wanted to use was "supposition" on your part. meaning "a belief held without proof or certain knowledge; an assumption or hypothesis." That's what you were doing creating a nonsense to mitigate and justify the murderous actions of Rowan Baxter.

Saying "You (Paul1405) seem to always be at the forefront of any opportunity to sh!tstir." That's correct, anytime a grub comes on this forum with the pompous BS you espouse, I'll take them on with everything I've got. I actually see you as one of the larva of a Calliphoridae.(look it up!)
