Brueckner charged with sexual offences in cases unrelated to Madeleine

[Wonderfulspam]

Yes people DO downplay Bruckner’s crimes - there are numerous examples on this forum, even as recently as today where his crimes were described as not all that violent (for example).  And I have seen you stand up for Brückner’s rights but never once have I seen you show any defence of the McCanns rights not to be defamed or accused of terible crimes  - happy to be corrected if you’d like to provide a cite.

Well they weren't all that violent.
It appears he didn't punch or choke his victims, for example, or chop them with the 12" machete he had to hand.

For anyone who doesn’t understand what is meant by a violent crime:

Violent crime
A violent crime is when someone physically hurts or threatens to hurt someone, and also includes crimes where a weapon is used. The police will record a crime as violent if the offender clearly intended or intends to physically harm you, regardless of whether or not it results in a physical injury.

Violent crimes can include:

assault
gun and knife crime
sexual violence (such as rape or sexual assault)
alcohol and drug-related violence
gang violence
domestic violence
hate crimes (disability, faith, gender, gender identity, race or sexual orientation)
robbery
murder or manslaughter

I'm glad you didn't call it his 12 inch chopper. That might have been interpreted differently

Yes, keep on making light of violent rape, you and your pal are doing a great job of making my point for me.

You described his crimes as extreme sexual violence.
Doesn't seem that extreme to me.
Some people consent to being tied up & whipped.

Is there such a thing as non violent rape?

What would you prefer us to do?
Condemn his crimes in the strongest possible terms, join hands & pray for his victims?
What difference would that make to anything, in the grand scheme of things? It wouldn't un-rape anybody.

If you live a peripatetic lifestyle, you still have a door.

Anthro, I know you to be brilliant at finding info and pictures.


Maybe I am remembering incorrectly, but something is bugging me.   


Bruckner came to the Algarve in 1995.  Rui Pedro Mendoca went missing in March 1998



Sorry the images are so big.   I don't know how to make them a more reasonable size.


IIRC there was a photo published of Rui looking very distraught with both his hands tied up high to a big wooden vertical beam. Bruckner has a beam like that in his cottage doesn't he?   Do you know when he took possession of that cottage?

Anyone else know?    I am probably barking up the wrong tree, but years ago there definitely was a photo of that type.   Poor Pedro.

'twas a different beam...

At least what is it now, 3 or 4 times, having tied up these women, raped & humiliated them for hours, Brueckner was in an ideal position to murder these women by any means at hand, & he let's them all go free.
That suggests to me an aversion to murder. He might joke about it in a chat room, but doesn't seem to have got round to it, despite multiple opportunities.

That was because the evil coward had a mask on,  they didn't see his face only his eyes.

Well he didn't have a door.

Didn't bother to look for him did they?   Yet Amaral says they ruled him out,  how?

[Lace]

He seems to have threatened, tied up, whipped, humiliated & degraded his victims. I'm sure it was a most harrowing experience, absolutely. But not especially physically damaging.
Still, maybe they should have kept firearms if they insisted on leaving their doors unlocked.

What in a lovely child friendly area?    CB had a gun though I wonder why?

Target shooting, Self defence, likes guns, wanted to shoot someone.
Those are the possible explanations I can think of. Can you add to the list?

[Wonderfulspam]

Armed robbery, Bank job. Prop for a movie he was making. There's probably more.

Slight inferiority complex?
I think that was a line from a James Bond movie regarding him carrying a gun.
