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.
Already been done.
Scaphism or, colloquially, the boats.
