"“I didn’t think he would stop at animals. I knew the connection between animal abuse and domestic abuse,” she said. “When the police came to the door, we knew nothing else could possibly have happened to her. We didn’t suspect a car accident or anything like that; we just said: ‘What has he done to her?’”

Holly, 26, was killed by Metson in March 2023 in what prosecutors described as a “twisted and barbaric” attack, cutting Holly’s body into more than 200 pieces, which were later discovered by a member of the public.

Bramley is now campaigning for Holly’s Law in her daughter’s memory, to stop prolific animal abusers from being able to acquire more pets, and to raise awareness of the link between animal and domestic abuse.

She wants to see an animal abuse register and a scheme to allow police to disclose information on animal abuse and neglect to prevent perpetrators acquiring more pets.

In this case both cities are in the same state, so there is no point trying to distinguish them by using the state as a byname. But there are other cases that use rivers or other geographical features although they would be distinguishable by state.

The most famous one in the USA may be Rothenburg ob der Tauber (Rothenburg above the river Tauber, Bavaria), which has to be distinguished from Rothenburg (Saale) (Rothenburg at the river Saale, Saxony-Anhalt) and Rothenburg/Oberlausitz (Rothenburg in the Upper Lusatia region of Saxony).

In addition, there are more places called Rotenburg without an h. Rotenburg (Wümme) at the eponymous river used to be called Rotenburg in Hannover after the eponymous kingdom until the government of Lower Saxony discovered in 1969 that the kingdom of Hanover did no longer exist since 1866. Rotenburg an der Fulda is also named after the river.

The reason why so many places are named after rivers is that they were founded at historic river crossings, first fords, later bridges. At these times, the places had no distinguishing byname as most people were not traveling. But with the expansion of trade, they were named after the most important feature for traders, the river crossing. And the reason why there are so many Rot(h)enburgs is because the castles protecting the river crossings were either made from red brick or from red sandstone.

It gets even more insane with Neustadt, New Town. These places were often founded long after the medieval period by the respective monarchs of the area, often to accomodate immigrant refugees. Here is a list of Neustadts:

Neustadt am Rübenberge historically Neustadt am Rouvenberge after a flat, rough (= stone-covered) elevation in the otherwise flat landscape

Neustadt an der Weinstraße after the wine-growing region in Rhineland-Palatinate

Neustadt in Holstein after the Duchy of Holstein in today's state of Schleswig-Holstein

Neustadt bei Coburg near the bigger city of Coburg in Bavaria

Bad Neustadt an der Saale river, the prefix Bad indicates that it is a state-recognized spa

Neustadt in Sachsen after the Kingdom of Saxony, largely identical with today's state of Saxony

Neustadt an der Donau (river, Bavaria)

Neustadt an der Aisch (river, Bavaria)

Neustadt (Hessen) (state)

Neustadt an der Orla (creek, Thuringia)

Neustadt (Wied) (river, North Rhine-Westphalia)

Neustadt an der Waldnaab (river, Bavaria)

Neustadt am Kulm (mountain, Bavaria, belongs to the district of Neustadt an der Waldnaab)

Neustadt (Dosse) (river, Brandenburg)

Neustadt am Main (river, Bavaria)

Neustadt/Vogtl. (historic region of the Vogtland, today straddling the borders of Saxony, Bavaria, and the Czech Republic)

Neustadt/Westerwald (forested hills in Rhineland-Palatinate)

Neustadt unter der Harzburg (after the medieval castle, now part of Bad Harzburg)

Neustadt am Rennsteig (ancient roadway over the heights of the Thuringian Forest, Thuringia)

Neustadt/Harz (mountain range, Thuringia)

Neustadt bei Hachmühlen (neighboring place, Lower Saxony)

Neustadt/Spree (river, Saxony)

Neustadt im Schwarzwald (Black Forest region, today part of the double-city Titisee-Neustadt, Baden-Wurttemberg)

Neustadt an der Rems (river, today part of the double-town of Waiblingen-Neustadt, Baden-Wurttemberg)

There are even more Neustadts not mentioned here because they are villages, located in Austria or Switzerland, or in formerly German territories.

dworkin spoke of this extensively (she was much more charitable than i am), but you’ll randomly see evidence of this from lesser known writers if you read the literature from that time period too. i’ll post some citations soon. but basically, leftists want you to have a radical critique about everything but gender, because anything that causes injury to men must be abolished, but anything that benefits men must be permitted. the entire political spectrum is simply different flavors of a male grievance movement. male victimhood generates sympathy. this is true now and it has been true for thousands of years.

the left’s refusal to contend with male supremacy is largely what gave birth to “second wave” feminism in america. this outpouring is going to keep happening so long as they are committed to this refusal, and they won’t be able to corral these women into a productive direction due to their insufficient politics and the loss of trust. this is a repeat of history, and the problem has not been properly addressed.

heya!

report and block. i'd also appreciate it if you shared this post, bc that blog was JUST created and was already tagging a LOT of people, and i know not everyone has the scam-sensing instinct, even if this might seem obvious to some.

There’s no acknowledgment that the expectations and trappings of femininity are intended to turn their adherent into an object, while masculinity is about empowerment, grooming an oppressive class. They’re not created equal!

Femininity is about restricting movement, mandatory time and money investments into ever-changing beauty rituals, being small and subservient and accommodating. It’s literally about becoming a decoration. The fact that men don’t have as much access to a clearly oppressive role is not the problem here! The fact that they are being taught violence and to repress their humanity in order to subjugate women, over whom they are told they are inherently superior, is definitely more of a problem!

A place where her dependents would be safe. Generally we think kids but I've also seen women not go to shelters because they have pets they need to keep safe from the abusive man.

He didn't do it.

The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.

Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?
