Uh, no.  I never said that only lower class people are capable of murder.  That's not why I said it - I meant it as an expression of shock, not a statement about class.  But thanks for assuming the worst of me - you're a fabulous ally!

It's just that it's pretty big news in a small community when such a powerful person in such a high position of trust within the community is charged with murdering and raping a bunch of women.  It's bad when anyone does it, of course.

That said, while still shocking, it's not surprising that someone in the military is suspected.  Trained to kill, to see people as targets, a culture of sexism and misogyny...it isn't surprising that it's a breeding ground for violence against women and domestic violence.
