Fox News

Posted on 08/18/2005 12:13:03 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

What the heck is wrong with the news media and the audience that laps this stuff up?

We have become voyeurs...

This prosecutor has decided she'll take advantage of the audience as well.

After a couple of minutes, my hubby asked, "do you mind if I change the channel?" I said, please do!

Only a sick society would give this person any attention whatsoever.

Soon he'll be recieving the short end of the prison justice stick.

I think Dahmer got the long end, eventually

My comment, about BTK mocking justice, was meant to be taken as a slap at any so-called "justice" system that stops short of capital punishment.

That doesn't mean the media and law enforcement have to use it. We as a society should give the perp a name, and it shouldn't be sexy or seductive. It should be humiliating. What are they gonna do go out and kill again? They've already done that. It may however get them mad enough to get sloppy.

CNN should have given the same type of coverage to the Dec 2000 killings and let the world see the 2 pieces of excrement who rape, terrorized, and killed 7 good people in Wichita back then.

I have avoided much of this BTK coverage because it reminds me of that other incident, which will sicken and haunt me forever. Yet I live nowhere near KS. I don't think I would have known about the "Wichita horror" killings and the trial of the killers had it not been for the web.

The judge is sitting there wondering how all his life's work has led him to presiding over a three ring circus.

He gave himself the name "BTK" Killed an elderly neighbor of his too, which he admitted was bad serial killer form. We can all say he should be tortured etc, but none of us mean it. We've become way too passive. I'm not saying it's good to have mobs murder criminals but I at least think the police ought to have to keep some crowds out of the courtroom. People should care on a much deeper level when innocent members of their own community are slaughtered. And BTW, isn't BTK about the best argument for keeping the death penalty?
