Quotes that Make you think

"The purpose of sociology [psychology or anthropology - really, any social science] is to enable the individual to see the everyday - the ordinary and mundane details of life - in a new way; to challenge, as it were, the perceived notions we hold of the world and the institutions and peoples that inhabit it."

- Peter Berger, Sociologist


Common sense is what tells us the Earth is flat and the Sun goes around it. - Anon.

Russell Williams Trail


Russell Williams murdered 2 women: Marie-France Comeau and Jessica Elizabeth Lloyd. Before he became a murderer, Russell started out with simple breaking and entering and escalated to stealing women's, especially young women's, underwear. Russell Williams wouldn't just steal them though he would wear them, taking hundreds of photos of himself lying on their beds wearing and being surrounded by their underwear and bras whilst touching himself. Williams then began to break into peoples homes while they were in them and would stay in their homes for up to 2 hours. Williams started out with crazy fetishes, and rape, then he evolved to murder. Williams broke into Marie Comeau's home beat her and then asphyxiated her while video taping the whole thing. Then he kidnapped Jessica Llyod took her to her cottage and made sex tapes of her, but that was not all, he also raped and tortured her for a day before dumping her body in a field. Russell was tried and pled guilty. Williams who worked at a military base is now going through a month long process of being stripped of his military rights.


My Questions from a Psychologist's perspective:


1: What is his mental state?

2: Did he his authority over Comeau help him to murder her?

3: Did he have problems as a child?

4: Has he been violent before?
