Edmund worked for the department of transportation in Santa Cruz and began to pick up hitchhikers, bring them to deserted areas, and brutally rape and kill them. He killed a total of six college girls from the area, promptly earning him the title of Co-Ed killer. This all culminated when he decided to kill his mother with a ice pick, beheading her and using her head for oral sex. He later killed his mother’s friend who he had called
But the Committee of Public Safety killed tens of thousands of people ( making their name ironic ), and Napoleon didn’t promote liberty. Plus women had no rights. The French Revolution lived up to it’s ideals socially and economically, but not politically. Because while they abolished feudalism, and achieved a lot of their goals, Napoleon, the CPS, and Louis XVIII abused their power as leaders of France. Socially,
The French Kings after Louis XIII enjoyed such power until the last half of the 18th century under Louis XVI reign. Although being all powerful in government and having one person making all the rules in the country did have its obvious draw backs at the time. In an absolutist monarchy one of the biggest factors that would ultimately lead to the monarchies reduction in power and eventually the end of the monarchy all together was the economic pressure that this style of government places on society. Louis XIII and Louis XIV failed to get an independent source of revenue to be able to fund the lavish life stlyes that the royal family and the high nobles became accustomed to. Even with the many flaws at this point in European history absolute monarchies were in most of the key countries in Western
Shrek responds very sarcastically explaining that he is a little busy now and there is a slight problem. With the dragon still roaring and chasing after them, they come to a stop and find a thick pipe, so instinctively Shrek jumps on it and slides down with both donkey and Fiona screaming for their lives. As Shrek reached the bottom he moaned in pain as he had been hurt but quickly realised what was behind him and set off to run again. The dragon also gets to the bottom and begins to pick up her speed in chasing them. She’s clearly had enough of them now.
These factors all upset the royalists and meant they had negative opinions of Clarendon which they were able to whisper in Charles’s ear when Clarendon wasn’t around and turn Charles’s more against Clarendon so it became easier to dismiss him and use him as a scapegoat later on. In terms of finance, Clarendon was also unsuccessful. He only managed to gain £1.2million a year for Charles which was too limited. He didn’t provide an adequate income and according to Farmer, ‘Finance was at the root of the troubles which toppled Clarendon’ which was because
As she approached the rive she found herself face to face with her father’s killer. She tried to kill him but he ended up outsmarting her by pretending he was dead. He got a hold of her and he took her on his horse and started to head back when he heard the Marshals approaching. He then called for some of the other thieves that were with They came to his beckoning with their guns blazing. There was a heated gun fight and three of the thieves ended up dead, but Tom got away with Mattie.
The French government was inefficient, unjust and corrupt. The French Parliament was called the Estates-General. It had not met since 1614 and couldn't without the consent of the king. It basically had no power. The economic problems created by the French kings also contributed to the Revolution.
The imagery of the Guardia Civil “leaning against their rifles” suggests the normalization of violence in war, and thus by extension the detached and ritualistic nature of the executions. This initial violence clearly mirrors that of the Republican massacre, in that both acts began with a seemingly necessary act carried out in war. The Falangists then take over from the Guardia Civil, proceeding to “herd”16 all the women to a barbershop opposite the city hall. The Falangists, members of the Spanish Fascist political party, were known for their disorderliness, poor discipline and their street violence prior to the Civil War.17 Hence their taking over of the shooting mirrors the drunkards taking over the lines in the Ayuntaimento – in both cases, their taking over represents a descent into
He was voted to death by a vote of 361 to 288, and was put to death on Jan. 21, 1793, age 39. Marie met the same fate 9 months later, despite her heroic attempts to stand up to the prosecuting council. She was beheaded on October 16, 1793, at age 37. Women’s march on Versailles The Women's March on Versailles, also known as The March on Versailles and The Bread March of Women, was an event in the French Revolution. On October 5, 1789, a crowd of Parisian women demanding bread for their families decided to march on the Palace of Versailles.
Equality and freedom were the motivations of the war. The commoners and lower class did not feel that were getting equal representation in their countries, even though they made up a major part of the census. The British used the Americans for their own selfish needs and benefits and taxed the colonists on sugar, stamps, wine, paper, tea, and put trading restrictions on every other country except for England’s. The Nobles in France refused
