Butcher Confesses

 

1. I think the best thing the Dutch could do would be to demonstrate how progressive they are and release him.  One he experiences the mercy of the court he will surely have a change of heart.

   Note to self:  Stay the hell out of Holland.

2. Anybody starting a pool on when he’ll get out? Six years? Ten?

   It would be nice if the Euros explored reconsidering the death penalty. This unrepentant murderer seems to be a prime candidate and poster boy in favor of it.

3. Pig pen,large dull knife (dipped in pig blood),some disassembly required.
   If there ever was a rat-bastard that deserved the absolute hatred of the Dutch community, it would be this piece of shit.

4. What Holland REALLY needs is a mooslim martyr - damn shame the Dutch police are such poor markspersons!

5. He is unrepentant; nay, defiant, so why don’t the Dutch grant his death wish?  I sure hope a country which approves of euthanasia would approve of helping this barbarian out of this world. 

   I’ve never in my life been so full of hate; when I hear stories about his ilk, I feel like going berserk with an ax, and I don’t like feeling that way so often or so long.  Anybody else have similar feelings and feel uncomfortable about the constancy and intensity of them?

6. I have similar feelings, Dick, and I am not uncomfortable. I think that it shows my humanity and civility. What he did is beyond the pale of civilization. The part that’s slightly scary is that the cold part of me could probably do the world a favor by ending his strutting and fretting upon the stage. I don’t think it would trouble me at all. I don’t know for sure, never having done anything like that, but I’d take the chance. It might haunt me but I don’t think it would haunt me much. Civilization would be well served.

7. Exactly Stin - the cold part.  I could shoot that SOB without remorse or bust his head with a hammer, not because I’m in immediate danger, but because I hate him and all the others like him. I hate his beliefs and his actions in the name of that evil so much that I believe I might actually enjoy killing him.  That’s the uncomfortable part.

8. Yeah, it wouldn’t be right to enjoy it, Dick, but I could derive some satisfaction. I could then go watch small children playing in a park with a clear conscience, secure in the knowledge that I had made them a bit safer. I believe I could live with that.

   One of the quotes that comes up on the main page says something about being careful when we fight monsters that we don’t also become monsters. With these monsters, I’m willing to risk it.

9. I know what you’re saying, OCM. As I said in #8 I’ve never done anything like that.

   Truthfully, I’d hate to be in a “them or me” situation, and I won’t try to bullshit anyone, I know what I think I’d do but I don’t know for sure. I don’t really wish to find out.

   I’ve had some training and been put in situations where I know what was expected of me in certain situations, again, I’ve never actually had to follow through. I believe that I would have done my duty.

   There are times though where I believe I could. This critter could very well be one of them. We can all sit at our keyboards and talk a big game but actually following through might be a different matter.

   Were that Dutch judge to seriously offer me the chance though, I believe I could read that article again and accept the offer.
