What do Al Gore and raped children have in common ?

Answer

I think it’s obvious that Gomer’s been listening to Tim Easton.

Bullshit. If this were true, Richard Nixon would have been hanging from a lamppost the morning after that crooked scumbag Ford issued the pardon.

Would you believe, two wetsuits and a dildo?

It has to; the people operating it aren’t YHWH; they make mistakes.

If you live in a country with the death penalty, your government knowingly murders innocent people.

This is central to my point.

No, seriously; I want to point out that Confederate Yankee is using a talking point that I’ve heard a lot lately; We’re giving rights to terrorists OMG!!!

Yankee, and many less stupid people, seem to assume that the American public has no ability to comprehend the concept of presumption of innocence. This is a basic principle necessary to understanding even the basics of a Law & Order episode.

I mean, really, we learned as children why people are presumed innocent until proven guilty in the court of law.

I really don’t like it when people talk to me as though I haven’t even completed the fifth grade.

Not to mention the slight disconnect in assuming that the government is too incompetent to, say, give money to poor people without somehow destroying whole states, but are so competent when it comes to deciding who deserves to live and who should die that they should be classified as deities.

Lately, mainstream commentators have been openly challenging the most fundamental philosophical principles of American, nay, Democratic governance. What bugs me is not that they do it, per se, but that they act as though our freedoms have no history to them, as if the people who wrote the Magna Carta never even considered the idea that hearings take time, or that it never even occurred to the people who wrote the bill of rights that they might allow some criminals to get away with crimes.

People like Confederate Yankee aren’t just against America; they act as if America has no history and as if our laws have no purpose. It’s rather frightening, really.

What astonishes me are their fan clubs. Many of these guys have women sympathizing and clawing to marry them. Talk about freaks.

So brave, heroic people need to shoot them repeatedly!

There are some circumstances in which – I think – it’s possible to kill and live with yourself. There are women serving time in prison who’ve killed abusive boyfriends…men who’ve raped them, their kids. They can live with themselves.

I can only imagine how a parent of a raped or murdered child must feel. I don’t condone this, but I understand it.

My ex’s daughter was molested when she was 7 by the boyfriend of her daycare provider. When my ex found out, he reported it to the police and let the justice system handle it. When the perp was released on bail (he served no time, just got a slap on the wrist because that’s how these offenses were treated 15 years ago), my ex used to drive by their house or park in front of it and sit watching in his car. He didn’t do anything, but he wanted to. Beat the guy up, mostly. I discouraged him, but couldn’t blame him. If it were me? I’d want to kill the bastard.

I’m a korean living in seoul.(name: Oh Minseok)
Korean special investigative team investigated samsung
corporation.
But they did not work right.
Suspicious to have been bought off.
Samsung corporation had many crimes.
And the team investigated samsung corporation.
It contained korean companies samsung,hyundai,sk CEOs’ illegal issuing
stocks or bonds. ( previous CEOs or present CEOs )
The quantity are plenty.
(Three company CEOs did(and are doing) many crimes to me.
Many koreans are knowing it.
But many koreans are bought off by illegal issuing stocks or bonds.
Korean prosecutors and judges and bureaucracy are also guilty.)
The team knew it.
Korean special investigative team must investigated this.
But they concealed it.
I ask for asking for this criminal investigation to prosecutors in any
country and THE WHITE HOUSE(http://www.whitehouse.gov ) and INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE(http://www.icj-cij.org/ ) and INTERNATIONAL CRIME COURT(http://www.un.org/law/icc/) and UN SECURITY COUNCIL(http://www.un.org/Docs/sc/).
And help the shareholders and me.
P.S)
Three companies are hacking me and trying to kill me.
And are suspicious to use my name and email illegally.
If you receive another message that I dictated above are not true,
it is not from me, but from three companies.
The things I dictated above are true.

In my neck of the woods, a truly heinous criminal is up for parole after serving 25 years. He’s using Canada’s “faint hope clause” to try and get out of prison. His crime? Executing 3 generations of a family he stumbled across in an isolated campground in the BC Interior. He lied at his trial and said he killed them so that he could have their camper, but what he really wanted was their two girls, aged 11 and 13. He executed the adults in cold blood, kidnapped the girls, raped them for two days, then shot and stuffed them in the trunk of the family car, assembled the dead adults in the front and back seats and set the car on fire. He got caught several months later because he stole the camper and used it. He lied at his trial and his lawyer managed to get his charge lessened from first degree to second degree murder.

This story has hit the news and comment threads in on-line newspapers are filled with outrage. Threads on a story like this are predictable. Many people think the solution is to bring back the death penalty. Some of them say “just bring it back for guys like this, guys where’s there’s no reasonable doubt.”

Frankly, I couldn’t care less about this man’s life, and if a person related to the family offed him, I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. But the fact is, the solution for guys like this is so simple and obvious – life with no chance of parole. And his “life” in prison doesn’t have to be fancy. Food, water, four walls, a bed and a toilet. That to me seems like a suitable punishment. I’ve often asked people who cry for the death penalty if they would change their mind knowing such a criminal would get a cell, food, water, and no tv, books or computer. The vast majority calm right down imagining these perps stuck in a cell for 30 or 40 years with no company and no way to entertain themselves.

Canadians have reason to fear men like this, because all too often they get out. We have lax and stupid parole boards filled with political appointees. Idiots who are fooled by the crocodile tears of psychopaths. Our underfunded justice system can’t handle the volume of offenders. Judges can be real fucking idiots.

The parole board is unlikely to let this guy out, ever, because his crime is so heinous, and because the cops involved in nailing him have made it their life’s mission to see he never walks. And, of course, Canadians are quite vocal in these high profile cases.

It’s the low profile ones, or the cases you forget. And suddenly you read in the paper that so and so is out and he’s lethal to kids and women. And the voices become scared and angry again.

The solution is possible, feasible, doable. Government just has to make it happen.

You think you’re ready to kill somebody for a past transgression in cold blood?

Really?

You can drop the hammer. But then, two things.

First, you gotta watch that poor dead motherfucker die. At your hand.

Then you just gotta live to be what, seventyfive or eighty?

And you think those pleading, desperate, dying eyes won’t haunt your dreams?

Go back to your comic book, motherfucker…

It’s a damned good thing, too, because Iowa has some seriously over-zealous prosecutors.
