Why we need the death penalty, example 7823
Boil these twisted freaks alive in acid after feeding them slow acting poison. And that’s still too merciful a punishment.

Who lets a person convicted of meth and coke - get their children back and not be supervised? Oh yeah, she beat the system (pardon the pun) by moving to another state - and oh btw, why did no one in MO or IL - check on a retarded woman with a one year old child??? WIC, CHS, SS,Medicaid, someone/anyone?
The !*@*#&#^#^ (Fiberal based) system(s)let Ms Dixon down and are culpable in her death as the merry gang of Msss Riley’s. Damn the system(s), damn Ms Dixon’s ‘family’ who obviously didn’t give a damn, damn the neighbors, and most of damn the subhumans who did this. . .
And in He Who Can’t Be Named’s backyard - gasp - a (shhh, black) woman tortured and killed by a drug sick (gasp -white) woman - and the messiah did nothing about it - wonder if this is what he means about bringing us together or just more proof of his belief in the (wo)man holding blacks down?!?
I have a better idea for punishment of these wayward individuals that would do such a thing. They should be dressed in red white with blue and sent out as scouts for insurgents in Iraq. Issued weapon will be one BB gun each and bottled hot water.
You know, after reading of this horrible nightmare and seeing the pictures of these sick individuals, I can’t help but think that society should systematically chlorinate the gene pool every 25 to 30 years.
What useful purpose did any of these cretins have up to this point?
How many of these kinds of people live within our population?
Looking at their mug shots, I can’t even imagine any one of them saying anything interesting or intelligible their entire life.
One can only hope Hell does exist.
Sickening. Worse, I bet there is some whining ass liberal reading your comment about putting them to death and thinking, “They are just misunderstood. If someone would just work with them and make them see the error of their ways they could be great people.”
Some people are just evil. There is no grace in them. There is no good in them. Cull the herd and let God straighten it out.
This is one of those cases that makes me see the usefulness of an outdated form of punishment, formerly the ‘King’, if you will, of punishments from the Royal Navy: Flogging round the fleet.
As Heinlein said in Starship Troopers, punishment must be both cruel and unusual or it serves no purpose. As he also pointed out in the same book, occasionally people need to be reminded, in government as well as military service, that it is important to take care of your own, for good or ill.
People forget, or perhaps many never learn, that punishment for a crime serves more than one purpose. It hopes to deter others from committing similar crimes, yes. But it also serves to remind the citizens what they stand for, and what they stand against. These people should be punished publicly, all American citizens should be shown that there is NO amount of suffering too cruel or too long lasting to be “over the top” in the context of balancing the scales with such actions as these people committed.
Further, the people of America often need to be reminded that those who punish crimes like this are not arrogating to themselves the authority to decide what’s right or wrong, who lives or who dies… no, they are making the difficult, voluntary choice to accept the DUTY to defend their neighbors and their society from such predators.
Most of us believe deep down that one day after our bodies die we will be held accountable for what we did while alive. And when it comes to being held accountable, the vast majority of us would put accountability for intentionally killing a fellow human being right at the top of the list. So why would such a person advocate killing such people, even by torture? That makes the defenders no better, indeed no different, than the criminals, does it not?
NO, IT DOES NOT. And the reason it does not is because the defenders chose it as a duty, to make sure the criminals were no longer able to continue such acts. It was NOT chosen as a privilege, as something fun to get away with. The defender is more likely than not to consider that execution as something that will stain his soul forever, and that he/she will have to answer for it someday. He/she has willingly shouldered a heavy, hurtful burden, has volunteered to pay a very stiff moral and ethical price for his service to his neighbors. He/she may well believe they will be sent to Hell for that action, yet have chosen to pay that price because leaving that burden uncarried was simply not an option.A given person may or may not believe that Y’Shua ha Noztri was the Christ, the Son of God, may or may not believe Christian doctrine, may or may not believe the man ever actually existed at all. Nonetheless, the one who calls for (and especially the one who performs) the execution of people like these is acting in the best tradition of Jesus’ teachings: “Come, take up the cross, and follow me.” Notwithstanding “Thou Shalt Not Kill”, notwithstanding the soul searching that will follow them all their lives, they chose to pick up the sins of their fellow men and women, take them upon themselves, and carry them for us. They know the price. They know they will pay it for eternity. They choose to pay it anyway, to keep their neighbors free from predation by the very worst our species can produce.
I don’t count myself as religious. I could probably count the number of times I have prayed without taking off my shoes. But I will pray for the people who execute those. And I will always believe that they are every bit as deserving of a medal as the soldier who keeps up a fierce running fire as he goes to rescue his wounded buddies. And for precisely the same reasons, too.
May the Lord and the Lady always look with grace and honor on those brave few who stand between us and savagery. And most especially those who put not just their bodies on the line, but their souls.
And this happened in the Народная Республика Ильиной. Why does this not surprise me?
Jennifer - you make a point - I know we are humans and supposedly above animals - but whatever happened to removing the ‘right’ (privillege) to keep bearing children at society’s expense (both literally and figuratively)? Ms Riley should have been ‘neutered’ after her first drug conviction and her children removed from her custody. However, I am sorry but the same should have been done to Ms Dixon - either that or the ‘reporter’ in this story got that side of the story wrong and Ms Dixon was not quite as helpless (just perhaps gullible or naive). . .
There are ways short of life in prison that could have prevented this - yet no one within the multitude of systems (I know how many there are - especially when one is receiving SSI or some other financial aid) - someone could have, should have seen, done or help to take care of this poor woman.
I think Ms Riley was a real good scam artist and Ms Dixon’s child may have been the ‘hostage’ to keep her scared silent when she was in public - any way you cut it - this was a terrible tragedy - and I feel just another indictment as to the failures of the ‘social’ programs that the fiberals force us to fund on a daily basis.
And Jesus himself took after the money lenders, thieves and scum - in the Temple no less - he said render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.
A country without laws is a country without hope or a future. The difference between a soldier on the battlefied killing, a man defending his life by killing and the not-so-merry Riley gang tormenting and killing a helpless woman - is exactly the definition of law and civility - and humanity.
It is a shame most fiberals can’t see it at all.
They should have all been on a watch list, this would have solved everything. I can’t understand how these kind of people fly under the radar......
There have been a few similar stories like this in England and Wales. I think the reason they slip under the radar is the volume of crap the social services etc. have to deal with. The liberals answer is to throw (our) money at the problem, hoping it will go away. I think in the future stories like this will become more commonplace. Sadly there seems no end in sight to the past 40 years of liberal experiment in social policy. I’m afraid I have no answers, but I do think we need to assess just how effective “social services” actually are. In Britain they adopted a “care in the community” approach to save money and close down hospitals that cared for people who clearly can’t cope by themselves. I think they are starting to realise that in far too many cases care in the community doesn’t work.
