Man who strangled grandma to death at age 16,is found guilty of strangling girlfriend to death,12 yrs.later,in Canada

Hello,
I really enjoy finding out about, and then spotlighting killers that I feel
have been totally overlooked by the mainstream media and the TC scene. Over in
Canada there is such a fellow, who just happens to be a double murderer.
His name is John Broyles, and I just discoved him today. It's my pleasure to
give John a tiny bit of international exposure, via this NG. Back in 1984, when
John was only 16 years old, he strangled his grandmother to death. He seems to
have controlled his homicidal impulses well for about 12 years. But in 1996 he
proceeded to strangle his girlfriend to death. While discussing this second
murder with a fellow inmate, John offered up the following explanation: "I'm
sorry for killing the bitch, but I couldn't take the nagging". It turns out
that he used the same excuse to describe why he killed his grandma in 1984,
"She was nagging me".
The fact is, human being are CONSTANTLY seeking to IMPOSE their needs and
desires upon others. In all human relationships, the parties involved seek to
USE each other, to get their own needs met. This imposition can be ENRAGING,
and can lead to what I consider to be justifiable homicide. The notion that a
grandchild or a boyfriend OWES the parties involved some type of allegience, in
terms of OBEYING their desires or wishes, is an irrational one. And yet your
society seeks to impose "social obligations" upon ALL it's citizen/slaves. It
is that type of societal imposition that leads to rage and violence like this,
in which 2 people are dead, due to their belief that they have a right to "nag"
a person, for no other reason than the fact that have established some type of
either familial or romantic relationship.
Anyway, James has just finished a 4 week long trial, in connection with the
murder of his gal-pal. He remained emotionless throughout, and has been
sentenced to 20 years in prison on a second degree murder conviction. That's
not TOO bad, James has killed 2 humans, and he will still definitely regain his
freedom by age 49, at the latest. Gotta look on the bright side of things.
We also get a few interesting statistics on the rate of domestic abuse crimes
in the one Canadian city of Edmonton. Over 1100 men were charged with domestic
abuse crimes in that city in 1997. But only 88 women were similarly charged.
Interesting. I would have thought that many more men would be so charged, but
not to such an EXTREME degree as 1100 men versus only 88 women. Several studies
show that a full 10% of all Canadian women involved in relationships with men,
have a fear that the man who is their romantic partner or spouse, might KILL
them. Another interesting stat. 10% is a LOT, in terms of the women actually
believing that their spouse/mate could and might murder them.
Take care, JOE

REMEMBER, FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED
By MINDELLE JACOBS -- Edmonton Sun
James Broyles made it chillingly clear he doesn't like being nagged.
This 29-year-old pitiful excuse for a human being strangled his grandmother in
1984 and repeated his performance 12 years later with his girlfriend.
"I'm sorry for killing the bitch but I couldn't take the nagging," Broyles
told a fellow inmate at the Remand Centre, referring to the murder of his
girlfriend, Suprena Fode.
This monster started young - he was 16 when he killed for the first time.
Little of his character emerged from his trial and he remained expressionless
throughout the four-week proceeding.
He didn't take the stand and his lawyer tried to get him acquitted by arguing
the Remand Centre informant was a "pathological liar."
So the trial provided no window into the dark soul of this double killer, who
was convicted of second-degree murder by a jury and sent away for 20 years.
Obviously Broyles never learned how to handle the emotional roller coaster of
daily life - the ups and downs most people shrug off as an inevitable part of
the human experience.
Women nag. (So do men, but they call it being assertive.) How about going for
a long walk? Shutting yourself in a room until your blood pressure drops?
Discussing the issue later in a civilized manner?
Unfortunately, there's nothing civil about many relationships if you look at
the statistics.
City police charged 1,142 men and 88 women with domestic abuse-related crimes
last year - everything from death threats and assault to murder.
Yes, men are victims too. But research has shown men are the perpetrators in
the overwhelming majority of cases of assault, sexual assault and homicide
involving spouses in Canada.
Studies repeatedly show 10% of Canadian women are afraid their partners will
kill them, a psychiatrist testified at the inquest into the murder-suicide of
an Ontario woman and her former lover this week.
The "rule of thumb" law is no longer on the books as it was in the 19th
century, allowing a man to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his
thumb.
But that inexplicable and inane need for power and control over women still
infects too many men - a frightening reflection of the historical assumption
that women were men's property.
"Our cultural beliefs, social conventions and major social institutions ...
have all emerged from a tradition that asserts the inherent superiority of men
over women," U of A sociologist Helen Boritch notes in her book on Canadian
female offenders, Fallen Women.
So how to steer clear of would-be batterers?
Watch out for losers and don't get involved with them in the first place.
Loving men don't ridicule women, isolate them from their friends, throw temper
tantrums when they don't get their way or beat the living daylights out of them
to show who's boss.
They don't batter their spouses one day and get down on bended knee with
apologies and flowers the next, promising it won't happen again.
In fact, it will occur over and over. Abusive men rarely change their stripes.
Forewarned is forearmed.
Because once a woman is involved with an abusive mate, it's even tougher to
leave, especially if she depends on him for economic support and there are
children involved.
The moral? Recognize unhealthy relationships.
That's the message behind the relationship violence prevention workshops run
by the Canadian Red Cross for teenagers.
"The current view is prevention as intervention. Stop (abuse) before it
starts," says Dennis Gane, co-ordinator of abuse prevention services for the
Red Cross.
"The majority of victims have lost their self-esteem, feel powerless and
believe there is no hope."
There is hope though. Get smart and get help.

> Oh boy....What a troubled guy. I first met him 1980. We fought so much at school that we were forced to see the school counselor together on a regular basis for what seems like a long portion of the school year. To make matters worse, we lived in the same townhouse complex. He was definitely the weird one amongst us kids. I did feel bad for him though. Holy crap was his mom an abusive butch. No wonder he had so many issues in life. As far as I'm concerned, the blood is on her hands too.
