75. I told you it was all about revenge

Thu Jul 3, 2014, 05:40 PM

Jul 2014

It won't bring the child back nor will it deter future child torturers from repeating the awful actions of this douchebag.

But it will rid the earth of one lowlife piece of crap who will no longer be around to consume some more deserving human of his or her share of the earth's diminishing resources.

I'm not going to get into comparing this particular crime with others on the scale of depravity. But this was the guy's own child and he knew how much the kid was going to suffer before he died.

I'm not necessarily a big fan of the death penalty. I think it's applied unevenly along lines of class and race. I think too many innocent people are executed. But there are some crimes that just deserve an eye for an eye. My only complaint is that a needle in the arm is far too humane.
