I realize that I’ve already commented, but your comment brought to mind something that I remembered from 35 years ago when I was in the Army.

I remember being in our platoon’s office, doing some kind of maintenance on our equipment. The platoon commander was there, a young lieutenant who had a wife and a small child. I don’t remember why the conversation went the way it did, but the subject of evil ferals like the suspect in the article came up. The lieutenant commented that if someone like this scumbag ever did anything like this to his little child, he would do whatever he could to make sure that justice was served outside of the justice system.

He described in detail what he would do to the perp. I don’t remember the exact details, but I do recall that it involved electrodes, acid, a blowtorch, and having the perp’s skin removed an inch at a time, all the while assuring that the perp would live as long (and painfully) as possible.

I had respect for that lieutenant.

I would bet that a dispassionate investigation of this incident would reveal that leftist/BLM rhetoric which dehumanizes white people make it in his mind OK to pull the trigger. I’ll bet at that moment he really thought nobody would care, so why not have a little fun.

"Black guy shoots white kid for no reason. Should we riot?"

Riot? We shouldn't even be talking about it - or are you some kind of racist?

“Which should it be...firing squad or rope?”

Impalement.

I know. I read all the excuses on Free Republic.

OMG!!! I really didn’t even have to look!! KILL HIM NOW! He is RABID!

There are those in jails and prisons that take a very dim view on child killers...May he share a cell with one of them...

"Listen, I obey the rules and the rules say not to read an article before commenting."

This is Freerepublic - nobody reads the article before commenting (he must be new).

Why can’t this maggot bastard be squashed and killed today?

No civil society would even consider allowing him to see sunset this very day. None. We are just plain useless as a civil society.

Killing the maggot will not bring this child back but it will end the useless life of a maggot. I would take extreme pleasure in pulling the trigger and splattering what little brain this animal has. I would give it less thought than I give to squash a bug and believe it or not I avoid doing that.

This has my stomach upset.

I have a grandson that age that looks like him. This makes me sick.

Hanging (choking from a few feet off the ground) while the executioner cuts off his genitalia and burns them in front of the choking killer, followed by drawing, quartering and eviscerating the still alive scum!

Just like in Merry Old England!killer

I know, right!

“Which should it be...firing squad or rope?”

Probation and release due to COVID.

He described in detail what he would do to the perp.

I understand that anger. If someone did this to my family member, well, I think all control would be lost.

But revenge is momentary and remedies nothing. It is closing the barn door when the horse is long gone. I am more concerned with the things that are letting horror like this happen in the first place. Adults that lack the maturity to handle disagreement or "being disrespected" and act out with violence because they are emotionally stunted. A media that will cover for them by not reporting the story because of politics. A prison system that will meet their every need. A judicial system that may release them someday. Politicians that foster victimhood, which starts the cycle over again.

I want to find a way to stop what happened to this child from happening at all. I just don't know what that is.

[LibWhacker]

Me, too! Lt. makes a lot of sense. Yikes! I just Googled THIS. Those medieval guys knew a thing or two about torture!

[ducttape45]

Both???

Your sarcasm detector needs an adjustment.

Scaphism would be a prime candidate.
