RE: Real Journalism Gets You Killed - The Murder of Panama Papers Journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia
Malta is a fairly small place with a tradition of respect of the feminine principle going back to ancient times. It is typical that a female would be killed in this way in such a place - heartlessness has a symbolism to it, whether deliberate or not.
We shall see whether the investigation reveals useful data of the details of the crime or just details that show that the investigation has no intention of succeeding - which is it's own evidence. :/
upvoted and resteemed!
Pardon?? Typical? Are you referring to the many ritual sacrifices of women in the nights of full moon of the Maltese island? Seriously. In fact every time that I go visiting my wife's family in Malta I hear explosions. Please, in front of this horror let's try to not be stereotypical (using a merciful euphemism toward your comment). She was a free and brave journalist who died because she had the guts to say that the king is naked. Making her a sort of parody of a victim of a non-existent supposed culture of the femenine (hystorical "respect for the femenine" ..should lead to killing her in "this way" I really can't get the connection between your two sentences!) is offensive for her work and dedication to seek the truth at any cost. In front of such an execution, someone starts talking about typical ways of killing "a female"...as much as Italians talk loud and play guitar, Spanish dance the flamenco, Germans eat wurstel and English don't wash their genitals becouse don't have a bidet in the toilet. Please! please! Don't make me read this banality in front of this horror..
you are misinterpreting my intention here, i am pointing to the way that such political assassinations are often carried out in a symbolic way, relevant to certain locations which have significant meaning to those who are involved. it could all also be 'coincidence', but i don't think so.
This is a very sad story. Investigative journalism is very risky. I pray there will be a system someday to protect journalists from all these evils.
May her soul rest in peace.
