Lesbian Celebrated #LGBTPride Month by Murdering Her Wife, Police Say

Posted on | June 29, 2014 | 63 Comments

Police say Tiffany Nowden-Vale (left) murdered Russina Vale (right).

There are hate crimes and then there are love crimes, I guess:

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — The former Colorado woman wanted in the death of her wife in California has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge.
Tiffany Nowden was arrested in California Tuesday. She had been wanted since the June 5 death of her wife, Russina Vale.
Deputy District Attorney Lindsey Carinci said the couple — who had an “on-and-off” relationship — reconnected last November and got married early this year. . . .

(Their “on-and-off” relationship? Definitely off, now.)

Heath said Vale was originally from California and decided to move back because she hated winters in Colorado.
Things seemed to be going well until late May, when Vale got into argument with Nowden at the Barona Casino, where the victim worked. Nowden was escorted off the Indian reservation, Carinci said.
The prosecutor said Vale sent an email to family and friends stating that the relationship with Nowden was over and that she was getting a divorce.

(Alas, it seems Nowden had other plans.)

Vale was found dead on June 5 when she didn’t show up for work.
Officers who made entry into the apartment found a naked Vale dead in her bed. She had been stabbed in the stomach, arm and chest, Carinci said.

By the way, there is no word on the fate of the couple’s two dogs, Scruffy and Bella, who disappeared after Vale’s murder.

Let us congratulate the lesbian community on this historic achievement: Equality in marriage and equality in murder.

Why are you so gleeful about someone being murdered? It’s not creepy at all.

Police doesn’t say that, Pride isn’t even mentioned in the Daily Mail article. Just McCain being snarky. Because clearly murder is to be celebrated if it is a gay person being murdered.
He also congratulates the LGBT community. Pretty disgusting stuff.

The point is showing Lesbian couple to be BSC. Which this couple (well at least half of it) clearly were.

Because the LGBT community is snarky. Just like they would be if this was a born again Christian murdering a spouse.

Hey not sure if this lady was a Lesbian or not. Maybe you could find out and report back? She does look like the Cheerio coach on Glee though… http://batshitcrazynews.com/2014/06/neighbor-dispute-goes-horribly-bad-sixty-year-old-woman-sprays-weed-killer-in-childs-eyes/

Another racist black-on-white murder. Black people just can’t stop murdering whites, especially blonde white women.
Federale
June 29th, 2014 @ 12:39 pm

That is because you lefties are in denial about the mental illness that is homosexuality and the racist hate crime murders of whites by blacks.

You lefties are in denial about hate crimes by blacks and homosexuals.

You are in denial about racist hate crimes by blacks and the mentally ill, e.g. homosexuals.
Federale
June 29th, 2014 @ 12:41 pm

Because you crazy lefties hold up homosexuals and blacks as morally superior to whites and normal people.

Federale

Any deviation from the propoganda that blacks and homosexuals are morally superior beings is a hate crime. You are a hatey hater.
Federale
June 29th, 2014 @ 12:45 pm

Given the overwhelming number of racist hate crimes committed by blacks, that is demonstrably not true. Given the fact that homosexuality is a mental illness, that is demonstrably incorrect. Human beings, homosapien sapien evolved as a sexually reproducing species. Homosexuality is a mental illness that denies this reality. You cannot deny motherfucking science.
Federale
June 29th, 2014 @ 12:46 pm

They will deny it, just as they deny homosexuality is a mental illness.
Federale
June 29th, 2014 @ 12:50 pm

This was also a racist hate crime. Blacks are always murdering whites, especially blonde white women. White women and black lovers are the one group most likely to be murdered, even black lesbians are murdering white women.

Why not the snarky headline? People don’t get to be snarky? I won’t go as far as Federale but we’ve been bashed with the moral superiority of homosexuals in relationships for decades, the same with the moral superiority of women. And, of course, the Truth that violence, *particularly* domestic violence is something that MEN do to women.

Some truths must not be spoken… and what certainly seems to be high levels of domestic abuse by women, and double that in lesbian relationships, are one of those things that simply Must Not Be Spoken.

Isn’t there a lesbian exception to criminal statutes? I seem to remember Stacy writing about that frequently last year.

Why let a non-criminal murder get in the way of celebrating Pride Month?

Before you call “blacks” racist, you need to eliminate other factors such as single motherhood and economic conditions. There is a lot more, but the situation is not solely because of skin color, or even mostly.

As far as homosexuality being a mental illness, that is a recent view. Considering that the science is far from settled and it wasn’t so long ago that left handedness was also considered an illness, well, we can dispense with that one.

What this lady did was wrong, I am not disputing that. But don’t try to invoke a general case unless you can show that every single “black” is racist and every single homosexual is homicidal.

Right, if a man, particularly a white man, murders his wife she is the victim of misogynistic violence. At least, that’s how it would be reported. And then we’d see all the feminists talking about the patriarchy and violence against women. And in a state where the people’s will was ignored we get this. And my impression of the propaganda was that if we let gays marry everyone was going to hold hands and sing kum bah yah.

Actually, according to the Daily Mail link, the murdered person “is reportedly survived by a daughter who lives with her father.”

So it looks like she had one prior heterosexual union before she met her homicidal better half.

Do you work for the TSA, by chance?

Don’t try to invoke a general case about Muslim terrorism unless every single Muslim is a proven homicidal maniac?

Are you claiming that every Muslim is a terrorist?

And naturally you think that every homosexual is mentally ill and every “black” is guilty of “racist” hate crimes.

Me, I prefer this old fashioned idea. A person is innocent until proven guilty.

You may have heard of it, it used to be quite the thing.

No, idiot. I’m responding to your ill-conceived statement that every member of any group has to display a characteristic before someone can be suspicious. So why don’t you go down to the crappiest part of your town after dark and walk around there? Should be safe; not every single person there is a mugger or homicidal maniac.

There may be a perfectly legitimate evolutionary reason for the existence of homosexual behavior.

Alpha male, not wanting sexual competitors in the “tribe” to compete with him in passing on his genes, but still need the strength of aligned males to ward off competing males wanting to mate with his females from other tribes.”
