I'm not a fan of Miranda Devine except, of course, when she agrees with me.
(also, it could of done without the political dig at the end):

Here is the other viewpoint:

I'd be interested if Jamila Rizvi can point out the men who have said Eurydice Dixon is to blame for her own rape and murder.

Why do people who know it's wrong to lie, steal and kill still do it?

Because the rewards outweigh the risk.

Everyone does it. The difference is only how far they're prepared to go. Everyone's happy to speed or steal grapes from a supermarket, but it takes a truly special sort of asshole to steal a car or assault a person.

Correct. Risk v Reward drives most human behaviour in different guises and names.

Amazing how old fashioned common sense often gets confused with victim blaming.

It's very sad that we have people in our society that will do such horrific crimes. We are going to have a mass vigil so everyone feels good and thinks they may achieve something. Reminds me of Americans have prayers after a mass shooting. I noticed the Lawyer has already gone with some bullshit mental disorder as a defence. Amazing with such a disorder he handed himself into Police. I have never been one for the death penalty but extermination is starting to look very appropriate now. Not for retribution but for eradication we need to remove that he has any chance of producing offspring.

There really are some tasteless cretins in the world.

Seems overnight some idiot defaced the memorial to Eurydice in Princes Park by painting a large "lewd symbol" on the grass next to the flowers.

Firemen had to be called in to wash it off.

Really?

Without context it is hard to be sure, but I would hazard a guess that the cretin who did this was motivated by the way this dreadful tragedy has been turned into a divisive spectacle of identity politics, rather than seen as a dreadful crime by a man. If you sow division, you get anger and hatred where there should be unity and sorrow.
