Copy-cat crime?

Every day we get news of another horrific crime. Our society is becoming desensitized to the atrocities committed by gang members and the drugged out mentally ill.

Rather than commuting the death sentences of those convicted of crimes, we need to speed up the process and put to death those who are obviously guilty.

Barbarism. This society needs to begin putting an end to this criminality.

The cops are mystified. They’ve been bamboozled. A bunch of head-scratchers. And yet, they know exactly why and how this happened.

FWIW.

“Our society is becoming desensitized to the atrocities committed by gang members and the drugged out mentally ill.”

I suspect that if we could take everything in total, that today’s society is more benign than any in history. In the Middle Ages almost every “crime” which included stealing bread, was a capital offense. That’s because there were no prisons for the common people. Yes, there are horrible things happening all over and all the time, but there always has been. Our memory of the safe 1950s is probably because there was no social media. Newspapers often censored the details of crimes as they were too gross for breakfast. That did change with the bleeds-it-leads times, but those came later.

Having said that I carry concealed. I discovered from a neighbor whose children were playing with kids next door to me that the guy next door had an entire wall in his house of photographs of me taken with a telephoto lens. I had no idea. But suddenly my neighbor’s bizarre behavior made sense. There are crazy people out there, but they’re much the exception. Still, the world would be much safer if everyone carried a gun on their hip. The unsafe people would quickly be weeded out.

I hope they find him and give him the death penalty.

Quite likely. The perp saw how much attention Zapita got for his crime, so he wanted a slice of the notoriety.

Horrible but I would be surprised if it was random.

No description of the perp = not really interested in catching him

A sick fad egged on by media attention.

That tells me enough

Time for eye-for-an-eye type of punishment. Most of these illegals would be thrilled with violence all around them, a bed and 3 square meals a day. Prison would be a luxurious punishment. Getting gasoline thrown on them, then a lighted match just might keep some from doing it. With the illegals coming to us, prison time is not a punishment.

Does Dollar General have video of the incident ?

In today’s environment, these three assailants were recorded somewhere, the store , parking lot, etc.

Tracking phones could be another possibility.

Curious to see if they will be caught.

Let me guess... An illegal alien who’s p*ssed off about being recently downgraded from a luxury hotel, to a Day’s Inn???

This sort of thing must be punished in such a way (change the laws to allow it) ghay causes even a crazy person to say, “Oh, nuh uh, I’m not doing that.”

It’s getting to the point now you only carry a gun when you are alone or with someone, period.
