Some people are just evil.

[Clintonfatigued]

This man is more than deserving of the death penalty. He’s a living case for it.

[Izzy Dunne]

I don’t think beatings have ever made a child stop crying, much less turned a girl into a boy.

[flowerplough]

Can I kill him? I could do it quick & save lotsa tax money, but if Polk County wants to dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s, I’d still like to be the one that throws the switch or squeezes the syringe to execute Marcos Gomez-Romero.

We can learn soooooooooooo much from other cultures!!

[mrsmel]

He’s so evil he doesn’t even try to hide it. Just cold. I’d like to see him get the kind of torture that would make him lose that coldness, as he feels some hot pain. How can a grown man raise his hand to a weak defenseless baby who can’t even tell anyone what’s being done to them?

Here's a pic of the POS:

WTF did the mother do to protect her child from this monster? They both need killing.

[Fzob]

I’m speechless.

"I could do it quick & save lotsa tax money,"

How awful of you...! Shame , shame, shame.

I could do it very slowly, and make ‘lotsa money’ by making it a Pay per View event.

Let me at this puke scum for 3 minutes.

[Allegra]

His eyes give me the creeps.

I just can't get my mind around what this monster has done. Inhuman. That sweet baby girl is in a much better place now, bless her heart.

[redhead]

The blankety-blank should beat himself to death, then, because the sex genes (X or Y) are carried on the sperm. The ovua are always just X. it’s HIS fault.

The mother says that the father threatened to leave her, and take both the infant and their 2 yr old son with him.

Why she didn't call the police right then and report him is anybodys guess.

Makes me wonder what their legal status is.

[freekitty]

That mother is just as much of a puke scum as he is.

[ditto h]

Would someone just kill him now?

[Road Warrior ‘04]

First the huge wreck and now this SOB! Polk County taking a hit.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Makes me wonder what their legal status is.

When I read the article in The Ledger this morning, that was my thought.

[RepoGirl]

I had to look at photos of my daughter at 4 mos just to have an idea (it's all so blurry back then.) I just can't wrap my head around harming someone so innocent and helpless.

This poor kid who did nothing more than just have the bad luck to be born to this evil streak of fecal matter (with all apologies to fecal matter.)

It's almost a blessing that she went home so young, so to speak. G-d only knows what horrors awaited her as she grew up.

The mother is just as guilty. She needs to be prosecuted as well.
