This is a woman who should have been pitied, not rejected and killed. When I saw Broomfield's documentaries, I saw a woman with a crooked face who had a very pretty girl hidden deep inside. Any young girl who becomes pregnant as a 13-year old and forced out of her home needs special care. I saw what she had become as a product of the failure of society, not her. I can't imagine having to lead a life like she did and end up not being a person who5b4 is willing to kill for money. She belonged in a mental institution where she could get help.

Nothing justifies killing.
No offense but that remark makes you hypocritical. You can't put yourself in the shoes of this woman. You can't imagine what it's like to be a total reject among your family, your parents, to become molested an16d0d impregnated as a teen, to be thrown out and to live in the woods, etc. If I lived a similar life, you all would be lucky if I wasn't a mass killer and not simply a person who killed people to rob them. Don't try to pretend like you would be any different. -

Maybe I am hypocritical, or maybe I am not I think that there are a lot of people in the world who have gone through similar experiences, or maybe even worse and either overcome their hardships or put them behind them without having to take lives. My opinion.

This woman was clearly mentally ill; psychopathic or paranoid schizophrenic or both. If you vouch to have insane individuals executed, then you must be far more evil than Aileen Wuornos. The US has a sickening record of executing prisoners in recent years, mainly fuelled by its far-right administration.

Ohmigod, u sound like a do-gooder. First of all, Pity is usually worse than rejection. everyone blames society for all their problems. many, many people have had worse lives than that woman, but they didnt turn out as murderers. she didnt deserve to die but ihate it when people feel sorry for her. what about the men she killed?

you can't say those men were law-abiding (Richard Mallory) or even if they were hardworking, the fact of the matter is that every human life is equal and no body should have the right to kill people. Wuornos was mentally disturbed and that can help us understand why she killed but it does not justify itor does it?

Generalizing a person's situation and comparing it to another person's is such a tired and unprogressive way of criticizing a person. People are DIFFERENT. They have DIFFERENT life stories and have DIFFERENT reactions to their very DIFFERENT experiences. Some people can handle things, some can't. Just because one person comes out of a traumatic experience as a socially acceptable person, doesn't mean all people who go through the same traumatic experience will.

Why should those 7 men die for what others have done???
Thats just stupid, you cant say that the killing was justified beacuse she had a ruf life.
She killed men for other mes sins, she deserved to die.
To awnser what good death does, it keeps her from killing inicent people agian and it doesnt cost mutch.
I am against death panelty, but some people deserves to die, and she was one of them.
I hope she died a painful death. (And sins I dont belive there is any thing like a afterlife or a god or devil, I dont belive she can be puniched more after death so I hope she died a painful death.)
