And if the world today wasn't already sick enough..

Two MD men arrested in slaying of 3 children. (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040528/ap_on_re_us/children_slain)


Not a pretty image, kind of one that made me sick to my stomache.

There are some sick people out there.

Toss them into the river on the way to the police station.

[Gilly]

Nah, that's a bit too nice for what they did. I'm thinking we should hand em over to the Iraqi's. :D

[naughtyangel]

I can't look at stuff like that :( I just don't understand how there can be people like that in this world :(

[Gilly]

Neither can I. The guys were related to the kids. It doesn't say what they were doing there, but my guess is that they were babysitting, because the mom wasn't home when it happened. :(

There is a picture taken on the front lawn with a woman standing between two guys, and she doesn't look like she's standing on her own, and she's just bawling. :(

As hard as this is to say, there is sometimes a case for public

hanging, to put fear of consequence back into the people.

National televising and compulsory viewing would help.

That's just sunburn on my neck LOL

[Gilly]

It would fit the crime, I think. Public executions were a good way to strike fear into anyone. It's one thing if someone's sentanced to death, and it happens somewhere else, indoors, with a few people watching. It's easy to forget it's going to happen.

Having to see it, that puts it into a whole different perspective.

[Oldfart]

Yes, Gilly.

The thought that " Shit, that could be me" is a very powerful one.

[Gilly]

Yep, it is.

[Lilith]

I read that earlier today and decided to spend the day staying close to my guys. Just needed the connection. Poor mother.

[Oldfart]

Poor kids.

[Lilith]

What I don't understand is the familial arrests and then also the mention of another aquiantance of the mother who was found near the scene.

[Oldfart]

It's the press, Lil.

They never let a good story stand in the way of a better speculation.

[Lilith]

This morning I read nothing about family suspects, just the aquiantance.

[Oldfart]

It all depends on who talked to who, and what spin the cops wanted

out at the time.

[Lilith]

They'd have to arrest my family to keep them from killing whoever did it.

[Gilly]

Same here- I think between family and friends, it'd be a nation wide manhunt, where the suspect is shown red neck justification.

[LixyChick]

What in the world could possess a person/persons to do something like this? I'll just NEVER understand what happens in the brains and hearts and conscience of a person who can do these things!

[BigBear57]

I say just release those guys. Just give me 24 hours notice and a map to where they'll be. I'll arrange an appropriate "welcome" for them.

[musketeer]

Hanging's too good for them! how about a good old fashioned stoning. That way they get to suffer, as they deserve too, for what they've done.
