75. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND CRIMES LIKE THIS!!

Wed Jun 19, 2013, 03:52 AM

Jun 2013

I REALLY, REALLY DON"T!! I can't even speculate on what the appropriate punish would be - because I can't imagine it. I just can't! When I read about someone who robs a jewelry store and ends up killing the cashier in the process - I can at least grasp the motivation and roughly surmise in my mind the chain of events that might have led up to the fatal moment. But a crime like this - I cannot even in my wildest speculation conceive of the motivation or imagine anyone who under circumstances would want to do such a thing - much less actually doing it.
