Showing Original Post only (View all)10 year old drugged, raped, killed [View all]
APD: Mom, 2 others drugged 10-year-old before killing herA 10-year-old Albuquerque girl was brutally slain in her familys Northwest Albuquerque apartment early Wednesday, hours before she was to celebrate her birthday at a party complete with manicures and cake.
Late Wednesday night, Albuquerque police released horrific details of the crime allegedly perpetrated by the girls mother, her boyfriend and another woman. APD spokesman Tanner Tixier said the trio injected the 10-year-old with methamphetamine to make her calm down so they could do whatever they want with her.
She was sexually assaulted by her mothers boyfriend and the other woman, and Tixier said the mom showed no remorse. They then either stabbed or strangled her to death, Tixier said.
What happened to this little girl is horrific. Its one of the worst things Ive read in my entire life, Tixier said, referring to the criminal complaint.
Amanda Wilson, one of the girls neighbors, said an officer told her the crime scene was one of the worst he had ever seen.
(If I understood the noon news correctly, the child was then cut up and set on fire in an attempt to hide the crime, I guess the rape?)

Nope. It has been shown a zillion times that the death penalty is not a deterrent. (nt)

Yeh. Kill people who kill people to show killing people is wrong. Makes a lot of sense.

Even though the thought of the DP is satisfying in his case, it's not the answer.

I don't support the death penalty, but some stink knows how to work the system.

I've always wondered why people who don't believe in a god try to take that comfort away from others

Hell yes. Especially when people act like you do towards other people.

For those 3, I envision those growling, stretching shadows grasping the evil in "Ghosts."

People get their fix regardless of the laws. More people get killed because of the illegality.
