“A short drop and a sudden stop solves problems in many cases.”

At the very least they prevent additional ones by the same biological life form.

What you should keep in mind in respect to my comment is that I generally don't favor the death penalty. But sometimes you have a case so severe that I can't see any other outcome as justice...

[Leatherneck_MT]

That’s where you and I differ. I believe it should be liberally applied.

Murders (intentional ones)
Rape
Child Molestation
Infanticide
Lying politicians and Lawyers. (no I’m not joking)

She was 12 when she killed her parents

[erikm88]

The scariest part is liberals would blame the parents for infringing on her rights etc.. etc.. and that she was a lowly victim in the whole mess...

Insanity....

Only 6 years. Dear God!

Remember this is Canada. Good thing she didn't spank her family, then she would have REALLY been in trouble.

Age shouldn’t be considered in this kind of crime. If a six year old hacks up a family I say off the six year old. They’re obviously too sick to get along with the rest of us.

sure. “the devil made me do it”

[reagan_fanatic]

It depends upon what you believe in, I guess. I happen to believe that satanic evil exists and is a strong influence upon the weak minded.

[absolootezer0]

well, i’ll agree with you if you’ll call it demonic. i don’t believe there are that many in the world the rate direct satanic influence. also, satan is not omnipresent.
whatever problems this child had, altho we agree where the temptation came from, the fault more likely lays at her parents feet for not raising her with the strength, knowledge and faith to combat it.

however, what i was referring to, were the “likes” that you wrote off as devilish. i won’t argue with you on tarot cards or wicca, as we have different opinions and neither of us will sway on them. however, the rest are not inheirantly evil. altho the argument may be given that the combination of all of them may show tendencies.

[reagan_fanatic]

Demonic is probably a more accurate word for it. And it's far easier to fall under demonic influences when your family is dysfunctional and the child thinks he or she is unwanted or unloved. You see this kind of stuff all the time - there are broken homes and shelters filled with kids who were basically thrown away by their Parents because they couldn't or wouldn't deal with them.

The evil that runs rampant in this world would have a far smaller playground to use if we would just cherish our families a little more and worry about our own selfish interests a little less.

It took them 3 HOURS to determine guilt?!

[metmom]

She’s either going to kill someone while in custody, or get out and do it again as an adult. Too bad someone else has to die at the hands of someone like her before something more permanent can be done.

Why is this in chat, sure looks like real news to me.

“A thirteen year old who plotted and completed the murder of her family deserves life in prison. She is NOT innocent.” I disagree, she should be dropped through a trap door with a rope around her neck.

I agree. She also should die.

We do it to dumb animals, who don't know better and act according to their basic nature.

My argument for executng children criminals, and the retarded is very simple: not executing her is an insult to the hundreds of thousands of children, and goths, and the retarded who never murder anyone. So it's reasonable to assume that even those impacted groups know the difference between right and wrong.

Take a life deliberately? Pay the penalty. No exceptions, no repeat offender.

Well, if you've ever been on a jury for murder or other serious crime, you'd realize that that is a blink of an eye...
Hard for deliberations to be any shorter, if the jury does its job properly.

[lowbridge]

I didnt post it in chat. The moderators moved it here.

[lowbridge]

No, he is saying that the mentally retarded should be allowed to execute criminals. :-)
