RE: If Anyone Deserved the Electrical Chair ... well We have a Winner Right Here with this Scumbag :( :( ( with video )
Hey my friend. As a parent with a 9 year old daughter and a 2 year old son. I understand your pain and frustration. We all live in fear of something like this happening and when we are confronted with it, t causing churning and frustration, mixed with anger and disbelief. I am always saying I just cannot understand how anyone could harm a child like this. I just can't get it. But here we are constantly seeing it. Our criminal justice system unfortunately is not designed to deal with people like this. I am not sure it could be designed to do it, but it certainly cannot now. So people like him who do not get the death sentence sit there and do nothing. Because of this my tendency is to agree with you on how he should be sentenced. In other words, having him sit is a waste. However my friend we have to be careful about trading our humanity for revenge. I know you understand and I struggle with it all the time. And if I were in that courtroom, I cannot tell you what I would do when I saw him, but as a society, our response cannot be to kill as our fallback position because in the past it has done as much harm as good. I am saying this and it pains me brother, but e must keep a clear head and realize there are no special circumstances for murder. It is all heinous. We need to find way to avoid it and when it occurs to hand out punishment equally and in a detached way. In light of ANOTHER school shooting, with children lying in the hallways and on school lawns I am saying this brother and believe me I feel it. But the alternative scares me to death and I do not trust the country to draw a line that makes any sense. Sorry if I am not too clear. Read my post if you like about the school shootings I just wrote and know you man. Keep your babies safe and keep your eyes open. there are videos going around with a guy who shows how easy it is to get kids to come with him and the parents are right there man. It is chilling. Anyway, all the best to you and again thanks for your post and I am following you. https://steemit.com/news/@davidallenjones/the-school-shooting-in-florida-and-how-we-can-prevent-them-in-the-future
I just found the video I was talking about. If you have not seen it watch it. Chilling brother. Keep an eye on your kids.
Damn that video is scary. This dad better have a wake up call after this. ( Boy, wait til wifey gets this dad by himself at home) thanks for this
I agree brother. SCARY. How many times have we been distracted on a call and not paying attention to is what is most important. We have to keep in mind that there are bad people in the world.
@davidallenjones. Thank you ,friend , for the sincere reply. Yes it is something I have struggled with my entire adult life..the death penalty. There are many people in the US who have been put to Death and later they found out it was a mistake and they were totally innocent. That is scary and we cannot let this happen.
I will check that Post out. Again thank you friend for taking the time to come on my blog to post such a thorough and heartfelt reply :)
@robertandrew. I appreciate the kind words and as I sad my friend. I feel it too. The challenge is that we are all being left to figure it out for ourselves. There needs to be serious attention paid to freaking mental issues and we have to stop trying to understand everyone and just call behavior what it is. Our trying to accommodate everyone sets a bad precedent. No one speaks out any more for fear of being labeled. As a result we let our guards down. Anyway sir keep being a great dad and keep your babies safe. All the best to you and your family and please keep up the great posts. Talk soon.
