Lori McCreary, who lives across the street from the Violette home in Clayton, a suburb about 15 miles southeast of Raleigh, described the family as "very private, but normal."
"They went to church every Sunday. They just seemed like a very happy, normal couple," McCreary said. "This is just so very, very shocking and devastating."

What kind of sick #$%k does this? Pull him apart, slowly. Flense him first.

An "edged weapon" believe to have been used in the killing was found in the house, though Gerrell declined to give more details. Some real geniuses up there in NC. I half expected them to come up with a Louisville Slugger as the murder weapon. Times like this, it's really tough being anti-death penalty. What do you do with a guy that would kill a 4-year old child but get rid of him?

You can bet that his defense attorney will try the insanity defense.

"They went to church every Sunday. They just seemed like a very happy, normal couple," Well, we were waiting for that line.
Poor child. Who knows what other terrors she had to indure in that house.

Kill him. Humanely, but kill him nonetheless.

Let's check to see if he is an adherent to the Religion of Peace. This seems to be a common modus operandi for them...although four years old is a little too young for most honor killings.Unless the sicko was attracted to her and killed her because he believed it was her fault.

By definition, a man who hacks off the head of his 4-yo daughter is insane.
That shouldn't mean we can't kill him, in order to defend our daughters.

Supposedly he quit his job on Thursday; I'm thinking we're going to hear one big sob story about this.
If the wife doesn't kill him first.

This is the result when a society is exposed to deranged, unspeakable acts of human hate and cruelty from another society with cultural degeneracy.

Much too humane. It was my first shot. I can do better.

The " solutions" being offered in here are as bizarre and depraved as this man's act. The purpose of execution is not to demonstrate our similarity with a depraved murderer but our moral differences. The solution here is to try, then execute this man for his crimes, not engage in brutish,bizarre and depraved acts as some kind of cathartic sociopathic ritual.

This is the kind of thing that makes me believe in demon possession.Careful, that kind of talk rouses the ire of the self-annointed skeptics around here... /grin
Seriously, I agree with you.

The courts have deemed that the insane and the " idiots " that kill are " special " and therefor are exempt from the death penalty.

I saw this on local (DC) news last night .. it sounds like he was trying to hurt the wife. Guess he succeeded. It doesn't get much sicker. And to have the audacity to just go to the airport, then check into a hotel (stupidly using his own credit card) .. you can be his lawyers will come up with an insanity defense. And they would be right. Still, he should get the death penalty.
