Ok, now I've seen it all. WTF?

Question

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070114/ap_on_re_us/child_decapitated

Now, do you believe in the death penalty?

Answer 1

I always have.I think here in the U.S. we need to go back to public executions,also.The guilty should not be spending 15-20 years of our time and money on appeals designed not to prove innocence,but to reduce sentence.The Iraqis got it right with Saddam;sentence carried out within the month!

Answer 2

YES. We have gotten to the point where there really are no consequences for ones actions anymore. The rights of criminals now outwiegh the rights of victims. Under current circumstances in the justice system, things appear to be getting worse, not better. Just possibly if one realizes there is a real danger of being put to death for their actions, they may pause and think about taking another life. Some would say killing the killer makes them equally quilty. Not so, one is a criminal, the other is applying justice.

Answer 3

Yes, I do this is just horrific. It makes me physically sick. He looks just like any other Dad at the PTA meeting, etc. Very frightening.

I feel horrible for the little girls Mother, Grandparents, Cousins, etc. Not to mention all the little girls friends, you can't even comprehend what to tell them, all while trying to shelter them from the news on tv, etc.

I do not understand how people can do these things. I believe we need to have stronger laws and give people something to fear instead of putting them in prison and being a burden on our society.

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

This one made me sick first thing out of bed yesterday morning. But, as a Hospice Pediatric Nurse, I cannot help but wonder why one particular case, out of the tens of thousands such gruesome child deaths that occur every year in this nation,is showcased in the news. Or, to be more accurate, I cannot help but wonder why this timing. I am suspicious of the news media and, in these strange times, I am correct to be aware of sinister forces behind what news is chosen for us to chew on. During WWII, Nazi researchers would put a hundred or so Jews, men, women and children, in a creepy, dark warehouse, close them inside and then filmed them from the rafters as experiments were conducted on them. The experiments were about human responses to different stimuli, such as, what would the frighten crowd of people do if someone suddenly emerged out of the dark and clubbed someone? How would the crowd move and how would they position themselves? Or, what would they do if someone reached out from the shadows and snatched a child away? These "movements" were studied and after WWII, these "studies" were captured by Allied forces. Shortly after that, every railroad station, airport, and other large traffic area in the U.S. was fitted with such cameras in the rafters and data on human responses and movement flow trends were massively collected. Such intelligence is well known among advertisers, political operatives, big business, and think tanks and foundations, such as Heritage. Any child murder showcased in the news during stressful times always deeply concerns me, knowing that, in those Nazi experiments, it was the harm done to a young child that most affected the frightened crowd in that warehouse, that most opened them up to manipulation and influence. (I'm not sure what "WTF" means. Sorry.) I mean, take a look at your own response and the immediate response of many of these answers . . ."kill", "swift justice", a cry for "public executions". Interesting stuff, the way the media can be used. Most of these intense answers came from people who probably never cared enough to get involved ever once in their lives to get involved or support crime bills that might help reduce the terrible number of child murders that tragically occur every day in this nation. If we could catch and kill every single person who kills a child, the child is still dead. So, where's all the passion to do right by innocent children? What can we do to reduce the danger children are in? What is wrong with a society that allows tens of thousands such deaths every year and what needs to be done to fix it? Nah. This story doesn't generate "nation building". This story is about generating a desire for blood on our hands, about villians, and hate and revenge. Why, a story like this could work rather nicely to redirect the loathing that two-thirds of this nation feel for Bush onto another target, don't you think, Dr. Fine?
