When Dahmer was arrested (c. 1991), I was working at a place where the morning traffic was awful. Accordingly, everybody showed up at least 45 minutes early, then sat around reading the newspaper and BSing.
With the Dahmer story in the news, one morning Harold, a particularly short fused fellow, arrived last. Another coworker, Al, a clever sort, asked Harold if he had seen the news about Dahmer making bail. The short fused Harold hit the ceiling. “No, don’t tell me they did that!!”
Al then said, “Yeah, but it’s gonna cost him an arm and a leg.”
Harold then sheepishly asked for the sports page.
I used to make “Dahmer jokes”,until I found out that Dahmer off drugs asked Jehovah for Salvation through Jesus Christ.
I would have most(Not Karl Childers...some call it a sling blade...I call it a Kaiser blade( ; ) murderers executed if it were up to me...
even Dahmer.
Remember “shrub” left the campaign trail to sit in the Governors office while a Texas woman was executed for murder-though “born again”. I would hope that all would get a chance to ask for salvation...but I see no problem with society executing murderers-& Jehovah God says that is the way to deal with premeditated murder.
I could sit on a jury and convict of murder and then pray to Jehovah that it was the correct decision.
The one I remember was after April 1992 was, “Hey did you hear Jeffery Dahmer escaped?, Yeah, he was captured again though on the way to Waco with a bottle of BBQ sauce”.
I didn’t write this I just remember it.
