Man kills underage girl for refusing to kiss

Oh man, this guy should be on a hitlist....

Link to story on ABC

Quote:
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. Mar 30, 2005 — A 15-year-old girl was fatally shot after refusing a man's demand for a kiss, authorities said. The alleged gunman was captured Wednesday night in Washington, D.C.

Atlantic County Prosecutor Jeffrey Blitz said Alfred R. Bishop, 21, will be charged with murder in the death of Elisa Hernandez, a high school sophomore.

Hernandez had gone to an apartment in her housing complex to visit girlfriends just before midnight Tuesday, Blitz said. Bishop, a friend of the apartment's occupants who stored some of his belongings there, arrived shortly afterward.

After some casual conversation, Bishop tried to get Hernandez to kiss him, but she laughed at him, the prosecutor said. Bishop then pulled out a pistol, put it to her head and demanded a kiss, Blitz said.

According to witnesses, Hernandez refused, and pushed the gun away twice before Bishop allegedly shot her through the left eye and fled, Blitz said. She died at the scene.

An anonymous tipster's call to Atlantic County's major crimes unit led authorities to Bishop, police said. He was arrested without incident at his aunt's home in Washington, said Janet Niedosik, spokeswoman for the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office.

"It's crazy, I can't believe it," said the girl's uncle, Miguel Hernandez, 26, who described his niece as a normal teen who was into computers. "She didn't deserve that."
It keeps surprising me how seriously f*cked up some people are.
And to be honest, if this guy is convicted, I'd be surprised if lives to old age.

I'm against violence, but if I were the cops, it would've been hard not "think" he was "resisting" arrest...

When viewing the preview of this post, I noticed that my sig says it all.... Add to that a quote from the same movie "if you break [this rule] we will send you to whichever god you wish" (or something like that)

This guy will die a horrible death..and I'm sure it won't be an injection either. I'm not real sure on how NJ is with death penalties and such but I do know I'd hate to be in the pen in that state (or any other state).

I've always considered myself a peacefull person, against all acts of violence and anti death penalty, but there has so many things going on lately, that i'm getting to the point where i wouldn't mind if these people is totured beyond human resistance and left to rotten under the sun of death valley. I really don't like what these people make me feel...

Obviously an aweful event. Now don't go jumping on me,,..I'm not blaming the girl. But what was she doing as a 15 year old going to her friends house just before midnight on a Tuesday night, presumably a school night and where were her parents or the parents of the other girl?

It's stories like this one that make me wonder what exactly consistitutes "crueal and unusual punishment." In a case like this I believe that the punishment should be commiserate to the crime, which by my thinking rules out the possibility that anything that they could do to him would be more cruel and unusual than what he did to that poor girl.

I'm just waiting for this story to progress, you know the next thing that you're going to hear so some freaking media hungry lawyer claiming that it was all an accident and the shooter is being victimized. Pre-emptively, what the hell was he doing putting a gun to her head to begin with?

And OKFU0 I agree with you, why wasn't she at home in her bed and where the hell were the parents?!

The fact that she "refused to kiss him" is immaterial to real issue going on here.

Man killed a girl. End of story.

The circumstances surrounding the event cannot and should not influence is guilt, innocence or method of punishment.

If you'll notice, there is no shortage of outrage in this thread. This isn't part of just today's culture, occurances such as this is part of human culture throughout history. I would even make the uneducated guess that such things happen less nowadays than during other periods in our history. In the days of slavery and manifest destiny tragedy such as this was institutional and widely accepted, nowadays such things are largely isolated incidents.

Well that girl sure had guts and principles. She refused to bend her will to his even with a gun to her head. I so wish she hasn't been the one to die. The world needs more people, esp. teens with guts like that.

I hope he doesn't live long - at least not long enough to spawn any more maggots of his sort.

But does this kind of thing happen all the time? I think random killings (like botched robberies) probably happen all the time. Jealous lovers, stalkers, unrequited love... those kinds of motivations (while not excusing any crime) make more sense for this kind of ending. This is just so atrocious to me because he barely met the damn girl. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this one. I almost think he must have been on drugs. If he has the kind of attitude where it's okay to hold a gun to an underaged girl's head and demand a kiss, doesn't it seem likely that he would have been arrested before for similar behavior?

I refuse to get worked up over this because:

b) I don't know these people
c) I refuse to throw my emotions and energy into something so wholly unrelated to me.

This isn't to say that it doesn't trouble me that this sort of thing can and does occur. It is just that I refuse to get worked up. I have better things into which to funnel my energies.

I dunno... reading through stories like this is kinda funny because everyone is all cliche with the "I hope he burns in hell" or "I hope he gets what he deserves" or "How dare he take another's life".

That's all.

Sucks that it happened, but that's life I guess.

I second that. It is irresponsible to stand up for gun rights, but not try to make sure it will be safe for innocenet people.

BTW, if you think owning a gun will 'save you from the government', you're a few bullets short of a full clip.

Schools are off this week for spring break/easter week. Doesn't lessen the sickness of the crime.
NJ has a death penalty, has had people sentenced to it and yet has not used it.

This is horrible. Who would do such a thing? For a kiss? Or to even pull a gun on her?

How would she even pull the gun away away from herself twice? I assumed she knew the guy...

I wouldn't assume she knew him beforehand, but even if she did, I'm not shocked that he shot her. I am, however, shocked that so few posters in this thread seem to think the central issue is that he shot her because he (unsuccessfully) tried to force her to kiss him. Maybe I'm overreacting, but I happen to find it disturbing to be a woman these days. It's already common enough that rapists come in the form of thugs hiding in alleyways as well as romantic interests who don't know how to respect your boundaries, and I know that kissing doesn't constitute rape, but this crime is different (in a very fundamental way) from if he had just walked up to her and shot her for basically any other reason. When I read about it, I wished that there was another category of crime for this (outside rape and sexual assault) so that he would get all of the punitive measures appropriate for such an action. I guess that's the part that's so saddening (and frightening) about it for me.

Supple Cow, to me, that he shot her for any reason beyond self defense puts him in the psycho category. Monetary gain, turf, or activism wouldn't excuse it, but they would at least follow societal patterns. That he appears to have done it in response to simple rejection says he was on the edge and doomed to snap. I'm thankful he wasn't smart or he might be out there planning his next relationship.

I've noticed this type of crime - something so far outside my understanding - stops my identification with both victim and perpetrator in the hope of more information. It might hit closer to home if I had more information about the relationships, but my gut says the guy is a nutcase and we'd have heard from him sooner or later.

I agree that that is the main crime, but the circumstances are most certainly not unrelated.

I think threatening an underage girl to get sexual favors is a crime in its own right, and should definitely count towards sentencing.

Something that I find really sad about this whole situation is that as despicable as the actions of the man doing the shooting, just think about the kinds of judgements that are going to come against the people that cared about him, regardless of whether or not they deserved it.

I also think it's an excellent point that somewhere he had to learn that this kind of behavior was acceptable, who is teaching this to people?! I've got 2 young children and everyday I worry about them running into people like this, or that I won't be able to succeed at my job as a parent and that they will begin to associate with people like this and learn that this kind of behavior is acceptable. As much as I hate the politics and the extremism, there is something to be said for good family values.

How much you wanna bet this guy is "mentally disturbed" and gets off cause of it? Because think of it: that's just crazy - the perfect defense.

Please don't blame "gun culture" or at least clarify what you mean. I doubt (my opinion) that lawful guns caused this. Either the guy is nut (in which case he'll get off relatively lightly) or you can blame the ol' standby: media, video games, rap music etc. Plenty of other things to blame (except personal responsibility of course).
