I personally don’t believe that the framers ever imagined psychopaths like this. I’m sure it happened, but the consequences were outside of the legal system, as they should be today.
Very good point. In the early days of this country, somebody who perpetrated something like this on an infant would have been killed by the public. No trial, no nothing. One could claim that everyone deserves a fair trial, but I would exempt a case like this.
I see people like this perp and the "mother" of this baby everywhere nowadays. If you look at both of their MySpace profiles, everything is "f... you", etc. These types of people act like their lives are some kind of movie, that embracing evil isn't real, and won't affect them. They are exempt from the history of mankind, and can flirt with evil and go unpunished. Yeah, right, look at the results. And their kind are literally EVERYWHERE now. I've never seen anything like it.
“It must have taken heroic restraint.”
What happens in war is one thing. This about sucks your guts out. How can we live with these....well...creatures within 2500 miles of us? Why should we?
Comprehending the procedure for LEOs and police precincts to handle this would itself be just about all someone could take. It does make a person nauseous. Just about the time I say, “I can’t think about this issue anymore,” and move on, I come back to thinking that the issue about the laws and the crime must be solved for the sake of the innocent, including the victim, medical and hospital personnel, LEOs, precincts, prosecutors and corrections officers.
Why does MySpace permit pages like the ones posted? It’s like Brando in “Apocalypse Now,” saying, “the horror,” except it’s real.
During the colonial era, states had the power to regulate their own societies. While there was no federally established religion, states had the broad general powers, and the right to provide tax support for religions within the state, even though liberal trends of the day started to put an end to the colonial prosecutions and whippings for blasphemy or non-attendance at church. Almost all schools read the Bible daily and said the Lord's prayer. Thomas Jefferson, our third president, was also the superintendent of schools in DC, mandated that all pupils be issued a Bible and a hymnal as reading texts.
