Wow. Jonathon Spectre rendered speechless again.

In a fantasy kingdom in one of my stories a rather evil gentleman is sentenced by an even more evil gentleman to be crucified and let hang until he is almost dead, then brought down and healed to perfect health. And then crucified again and let hang until he is almost dead, then brought down and healed to perfect health. And then crucified again...

F**k jail. Nail.

[willyone]

Stop being a jerk. There is nothing funny about this. And alcohol is the root cause of this. Worst drug there is because it is legal and cheap. But outlawing it is no solution.

[Brad’s Gramma]

In the latter case you must rely on witnesses or snitches or what evidence can be gathered by detectives.

So, if Brianna WERE alive, and WERE old enough to testify, I assume the death penalty WOULD be fine in this case?

[packrat35]

Word fail me...like something out of a bad movie

[Pushi]

I live in NM--not in Las Cruces. Maybe they will get a change of venue and I will be selected for the jury.

[Brad’s Gramma]

BTW, I just heard on the radio that Avila's attorney from his first case said that he doubts whether Avila will be able to get a fair trial. "What with the police going around saying they're 100% sure they have their man"......

[Pushi]

I could give him a fair trial. In 1970 I sat on a jury of a capital case in Texas. That person got a fair trial. I have sat on a couple dozen courts martial. All of those people got a fair trial, too. Really.

[RGSpincich]

Please tell me these devoids are in jail.

In jail no bail

Sheriff's deputies say a total of nine people lived at the home in Las Cruces where the abuse allegedly happened.

Any of those nine who knew of the abuse and did not protect this baby are guilty, too. They should have stomped all over the parents perceived "rights" and saved this child.

[PleaseNoMore]

Oh my God......................

This literally made me wretch.

Oh my God..............

[Brad’s Gramma]

I trust you. I really really do.

[harpseal]

The animals that did this need to experience medevil torture for days. No mercy on this planet and I doubt God will be all that understanding of their excuses.

Stay well - Stay sfae - Stay armed - Yorktown

I don't know what to feel right now. The signs of a Clinton generation of "who cares?" is showing its signs. I want all 3 involved dead or locked away for the rest of their lives. No but...but...but...it was a ...no...you lost your chance to live. Sorry. I am just sick.

[decimon]

As a society, we DO need to kill these people . The good people, the decent people, need to take it back before it's taken from us. Do I necessarily approve of public execution? Probably not, but that's not on this thread, not yet...(I think).

No "society" can claim me Gramma. I don't run with the herd. And that's been a good thing as some people have been spared unwarranted abuse for my remaining independent of the herd mentality and not participating in or thwarting some herd action.

[decimon]

So, if Brianna WERE alive, and WERE old enough to testify, I assume the death penalty WOULD be fine in this case?

The problem is that there can be no law passed to cover this one case or some several cases that I or you are aware of. If we're going to pass laws emotionally on the basis of some few select incidents then we'll have to drop our opposition to gun control.

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

The only possibly good thing about the whole situation is that it happened in Texas, and not California.

Unfortunately my friend, this happened in southern New Mexico, not Texas. I'm concerned that this sicko will get maybe a couple of years, and then be released right back into society.

"Dammit I get pi$$ed when I see this kind of thing. I could never be a cop.

It surprises me that there are not more cases of "accidental discharge" of an offficers weapon when arresting monsters like this.

Biting? These animals were biting a 5 month old??!!??!!

I don't even have the words.

[mombonn]

The Lord, in His mercy, took her to live in a better place. Somehow, I don't think these vermin will enjoy the same destination.

I keep thinking nothing can shock me anymore - I'm always wrong.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Sorry, but this occured in New Mexico where we don't have a death penalty worth a damn and "life" is only 30 years before you're eligible for parole.

Dona Ana county, figures. That's where a 100 was changed to 600 (it looked like a bad report card forgery) and gave the state to Gore in 2000. Well, this is one less DemocRAT voter on their rolls.
