A probation officer recommended o to a judge on December 30th---only five weeks ago---that this animal be incarcerated because of parole violations. The judge said no. We don't call the judges decision to let this man remain free a crime, but it was clearly the wrong one. It, in effect, directly contributed to the death of this little girl.
My fear is that in a society like the one that you wish for, that judge would be drawn and quartered only minutes after this child killer was run over by a steam roller. What's worse is that it would probably all be on cable.
Make no mistake, I don't mean to imply that harsh punishment, even the capital sort, is wrong. It is clearly justified in some instances. But torture before death isn't the answer either. Should we return to the middle ages, where public hangings and disembowelments were today's equivalent of a cup of coffee?
Just my thoughts.
