This person is an animal, plain and simple. The only thing connecting him to the rest of us humans is that he walks upright and communicates by speaking. The saddest part is that he is not unique by any stretch of the imagination. I don't know how to solve this problem of society except to make the consequences of living such a life so undesirable that the fear of being caught negates the desire to act that way. The emotional side of me wants to see people like this hanging from a yard-arm in the town square, but the practical side of me knows it will never happen that way. I have always been, and will always be, a proponent of the death penalty. Not the death penalty in it's current incarnation, but swift justice by removal from the gene pool. If found guilty by a jury of one's peers, these people should be underground in no more than a year. This is not a case of a "good boy" who made a bad choice, but rather a young man who decided to let his short, pathetic life of violent crime define him. It's not a matter of rehabilitation but rather would be a matter of changing his entire being and soul. That's not gonna happen. It's best to remove that being and soul from society and replace it with one that's worth a damn.
I learned on INGO that the criminal justice system is too flawed to be allowed the death penalty. I just read a post on Facebook about how this "child" is just a victim who has been failed by society. These monsters are what this country is creating. Society wants cops fired if they curse in public, cops are neutered and provide no deterrent. Society wants prisoners to have free cable television, quality meals, soft sheets and free education, prison provides no deterrent. Society apparently plans to talk sternly to these criminals believing that at some point it'll work. Perhaps when the last few non-criminal members of our society are left standing and are surrounded by tens of thousands of the monsters the light bulb will probably come on.
Nah, they'll just utter a few more stern words before being murdered.
