Woman's Body Found In Branch Brook Park

Wednesday, January 30, 2008

The body of a light-skinned Hispanic female found in a field in the Belleville section of Branch Brook Park has been identified as Omayra Guzman, 33, of East Orange. A jogger made the gruesome discovery yesterday morning just off Mill Street, not far from the spot where Lionel Jordan's body was found last month..

The county prosecutor's office said the woman, showing no apparent injuries, may have died somewhere else, and later been left in the park. She was reported missing by family last evening. She was last seen by family last Thursday and was last heard from by family last Friday. The Medical Examiner has not determined the cause or manner of death. Autopsy results by the Regional Medical Examiner’s Office are still pending.

How awful and sad. My guess is a male did it. Which reminds me some feminists think men should pay a surtax because they cause most of the destruction in the world: wars, serial killers etc. Not a bad idea. But I guess it will happen the same time the U.S. pays compensation to the children of slaves. NOT IN THIS LIFETIME. What a planet.

Jeez, man. People write the weirdest things here sometimes.

I'm very sorry for Ms. Guzman and her family and send my condolences.

My condolences to the family, and won't it be nice once humans evolve to where we never kill other humans.

What an enlightened and civilized point of view. Truly inspiring.

Assuming you're a "female," doggy, you make a strong argument by example for continuing to keep women out of power.

Walleroo, you beat me to it. Don't worry, "Doggy" ... there are tons of TV shows and movies these days seems to extol the virtue of the "manly" female, kicking a-- and killing everything that moves ... just like the boys do! Pretty soon, the gals will have plenty of notches in their belts, too. That's progress, right?

Here, read this:

Of course, I'm sure you'll find a way to justify the righteousness of women dishing it out to men "after all these years of oppression, etc."

editrrr, you're right. The media is always right in depicting true human behavior. I believe all that I see on TV and in video games. Scoff.

My condolences to the victim's family.

Way to miss the point, Spot. Let me see if I can explain this better so even you can understand. TV and media, in fact, quite often dwell on the fictitious ... which was not my point. My point was, in response to ilovemydoggy's off-on-a-tangent response to the point of this thread, that it's ironic that men are being accused by someone who, I think it might be reasonable to assume, is perhaps at least a little turned on by the increasing amount of violent depictions of women, depictions of females as a**-kickers. Let's just start with "Saving Grace." You see, Spot, I wasn't saying media depictions are true in the least (you still with me?) I'm saying that females are increasingly portrayed as every bit as good and violent and rough and tumble as the boys, and people must be eating up this strain of entertainment. So, god willing, the world will become right and good, as ilovemydoggy so desires, and we'll all be equally able killers, without pointing fingers at the more violent gender (or the more manipulative, or the more self-loathing).
