Again, conservatives value human life but acknowledge that the taking of human life is sometimes necessary. There is nothing inconsistent with this statement whether the girl is viewed as innocent or not. I'm not debating her actions but rather the celebration by some, not all, of her death. The Journal quote posted earlier eloquently states my own view that its a shame that she died but shameful the way she lived. Isn't it enough to leave it at that and move-on?

It's hard to disagree with your sentiments, noble as they are (and I'm not being facetious,) but this here is an agora, a marketplace and you can't control who'll show up and what they'll say, and thankfully, JimRob chooses a conservative approach to censorship. Jokes will flow, just like they did during the Phil Spector affair and other similar events. If this weren't St Paddies day, I'd run to my pub later this evening to hear the tasteless jokes the barkeep might have (this being St Paddies he knows better than to share them with a large audience.)

Worse than the bad one-liners is, I think, moral posturing, exaggerated piousness, sanctimonioussness and condemenations to eternal damnation as some (not you) like to do and did on that last night thread I mentioned!

I really enraged one poster last night to the point of him hitting the abuse bottom and pinging JimRob when I suggested tongue in cheek that the girl didn't have very much to live anyway because after the coming revolution, she, like all revolution's children, will be among the first ones devoured. The enraged poster took it to mean a conservative, "our" revolution, when there were enough clues in the post to suggest I was referring to the revolution that she and her cohorts were working on bringing about. The outraged poster's subsequent outburst was among the most violent I have ever read here!
