TAMPA, Fla. -- Deputies in Florida say a man accused of stabbing his 6-year-old son more than 20 times has been charged with attempted murder.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office says in a press release that 23-year-old Xavier Thomas had been watching New Year's Eve fireworks with relatives late Friday. Deputies say Thomas took his son to a play area in the apartment complex once the fireworks were over.

There was a time when the only job for police in a case like this would be cutting the body out of the tree.

Among the most depraved crimes one could commit.

We don’t punish these crimes the way we used to.

My great grandmother told me about a child molester in northern Michigan sometime between 1910 and 1920. She said the local men took him on a late night tour of the smelter and “he got lost”.

Kid probably deserved it.

Dollars to doughnuts he was on some kind of medication like Prozac. These drugs are killers, Columbine, Virgina Tech, etc, all of them on “anti-depressants”.

This is one of the major reasons we *need* the economy and existing order to utterly collapsed. Lawyers have replaced law, and law has replaced justice.

Once that entire phony mechanism supported by fiat dollars collapses, there will be no such thing as a "repeat offender".

It all started when America agreed that abortion must be “constitutional” because of few perverts in black robes told them that it was.

[A_perfect_lady]

That or he wanted out of child-support payments.

[mylife]

Get a rope.

[cripplecreek]

Liberals would say that the man my great grandmother spoke of was executed without benefit of trial but the men who eliminated the molester wouldn’t have done so if there had been any real doubt.

Thomas was jailed without bond Saturday. Jail records did not show whether he had an attorney.

What kind of attorney could defend a scumbag that commits such a brutal crime against a family member?

Miracle that a child that young could live through such an attack. The “father” can be summed up in a word as trash.

[kabumpo]

Thanks for the laugh. I needed it.

[aruanan]

Oh, never mind...

I'm guessing you didn't actually watch the trial.

Why shouldn’t they execute this guy? There is no good reason not to! Unless its because we don’t want the kid orphaned /sarc

Thank you for your posts. I post little, but take time to read the more prescient Freepers. Quite a remarkable community, really.

I fear your simple, declarative sentence is prophetic: “...economy and existing order to utterly collapse...”

The probability statistic to be assigned to the Balkanization of our republic is closing on 100%. It appears we will devolve into a melange of self-organizing communities; those who survive, that is. Just purchased another 1,000 rounds. Better than gold (FDR 1933 was just a hint of things to come). Sad.

Blessings on You and Your House.
