This is probably the hardest piece I have ever written. I, you see, am a mother. I have two children and I have watched the last few months as children have been abducted, tortured, sexually abused, thrown away or hidden in debris as the murderers continue to prey. I don´t want to see this anymore. It is past time to send a strong message to those who will kill our most innocent citizens.
Everyone is wondering how this could happen. But I know we have cheapened life to such an extent that the infanticide, neutrally labeled partial birth abortion, is but the stench of a society which cares little for precious life. And these little ones, just at birth, or just in their most tender youth, need protection and it is up to us to give it to them.
I want a public execution. I want retribution. I want revenge and I want a deterrent to this happening again. I want there to be absolutely no doubt as to what fate awaits any who will steal life and sanctity from our children. I want the murderers to pay for the anguish the parents´ will live with forever.
I don´t want NAMBLA or the ACLU or any psychiatrist telling me the perp had a deprived childhood. I don´t particularly care about how rough life was for them; we have all had our trials and tests, our harsh or unloving parents or other challenges, yet few of us have become so twisted as to have relief only come from the death of an innocent child. Justice for those innocents, that´s what I want. Let G-d deal with the guilty.
On the other side of the world, terrorists blow little children apart and I have seen the blood stains by the overturned stroller. I don´t care about the excuse of humiliation´ that I am treated to by those who sympathize with evil. I have seen the photographs of little children wearing bomber´s vests in the parades; I have been sickened by the sight of infants with hand grenades hung around their tiny necks. I have heard from their own unknowing mouths how they want to drink the blood of infidels in their parents´ Jihad. If this isn´t child abuse, I don´t know what is.
We are dealing now here with our own atrocities and I want to see the bastards pay. Child molesters and child killers are not rehabilitatable. They are lost causes. There is not a shred of hope for those who have such twisted minds. They need to be put down, as one would destroy a distempered pit bull.
I don´t want to hear any more lawyers arguing for rights´ for those who have held none for children. I do not want to watch anymore long, drawn-out trials nor endless appeals. When the evidence is all-consuming, when the perp has the child´s blood or fibers or any evidence on him, just finish it there and then.
If the parents´ are swingers and bring home strangers they picked up in a bar for group sex, I want it admitted at trial and not hushed up. I have seen too many dead children to care one whit if the parents´ are upset by their exposure in the public arena. Perhaps I am lacking compassion. Perhaps I have just had too much for any mother´s heart to bear. I don´t care. I want retribution and I want those who are guilty to never, ever again, have any chance to do it again.
Perhaps it's time to overthrow these rats and begin running the nation for the majority!
This woman's anger and emotion is reflective of the majority of the population. Unfortunately, the anti-death penalty crowd uses anecdotes about death row inmates being cleared by DNA (they ARE being cleared, aren't they?), mental defectives on death row, and 17 year olds on death row to kick up dust. Keeping the death penalty is going to continue to be a struggle, let alone speed up the process as we've done here in Texas.
Then, we have certain religious leaders who want to show "compassion" for a cretin like Alejandro Avila, who would rape and torture a five-year old, then pose her provocatively as a thumb in society's eye.
I was about to say let's also stand up a dozen or so of these bleeding heart liberals beside each of their barbaric buddies and execute them right along with the murderering savages they excuse, aid, abet, and love. It'd be totally justified.
And, for those truly egregious cases where the murderer being executed pulls in the out-of-towners, picnic tables should be available to those spectators who want to pack a lunch and make a day of it.
Can you demonstrate where a wrongful execution has ever happened? Anywhere in the US?
This "wrongful execution" crap is another tactic of the anti-death penalty crowd, and is unadulterated nonsense.
You get to sit in the chair instead. If I were a life insurance agent, I know which one of the two of you would be a greater insurance risk.
I believe it would deter some, but you do have a point as seen in the Muslim countries where they cut off various bodyparts, throw people over a cliff in a bag, gang rape relatives, whip them for days and none of this stops all of them.
But you can say that a dead person will not commit another crime and it does provide some revenge aspect for the victims families.
Absolutely, because I'm not worried about any.
Those wrongfully on death row are being freed, aren't they?
Of course, if you listen to the perps, they're all innocent.
It's definitely a deterrent to the perp who commits the murder for which he was sentenced.
She wants the accused to have no rights. If I'm ever accused, I would like some rights thank you very much.
The only right an accused murderer deserves is the right to a fair trial. Once convicted, he deserves the right to a swift punishment.
I would so volunteer if I were in favor of the indicated paroles.
Not, though, a bad challenge to those who are in favor of such paroles. Taking responsibility is the key here. Taking responsibility is not limited to those who've managed to get indicted for something.
