Why do we not save our compassion and love for those who do not threaten society and innocent children?

However, the father in this case DID commit a horrific atrocity on a helpless infant. He deliberately injected an incurable and deadly disease into a BABY!!! Not because he was insane, but because he didn't want the responsibility associated with raising this child. Not only did his actions sentence his own flesh-and-blood to a tortured life and slow death - they also had a tremendously adverse affect on the mother, two sisters, and everyone associated with caring for the boy. All of this was done out of self-centered greed. THAT is a far more barbaric act than anything I have ever seen posted here. If you want to be outraged, then be outraged at the person who actually commits such "barbaric acts". Also, the only time you see these "barbaric" discussions is when the discussion concerns the punishment of somebody who actually committed some horribly barbaric act in REAL LIFE! So, if you want to be outraged, then be outraged at the heartless person who commits such an act rathter than those who just talk about it. Quote:

Good one, Cerek. I wish that everyone who makes pious arguments about how bad that it would be to humanely kill convicted murderers would have to watch videotapes of the crime, see the mutilated bodies of the victims, and deal with the families, afterwards. I have done all of these.

I think we've had this discussion before (about 45 times, IIRC ), but I believe I've posted a link with the proof to back up my previous statement here on Ironworks about a year ago... I'll look it up one of these days if I get around to it. [img]smile.gif[/img] [ 11-20-2002, 07:08 PM: Message edited by: Grojlach ]

"Very true. What a pity they couldn't also ban malicious acts of barbaric cruelty on innocent victims."
Um, they *did* ban cruelty on innocent victims. That is why this dude is being thrown in jail. [img]tongue.gif[/img] BTW, so it's 50-60k. Even that isn't a huge amount of money- one or two taxpayers make up that difference. In a country of millions of people. My main point is that since we didn't give him life we shouldn't take it away, and he can't harm anyone locked up in jail. I've said that before though, and nobody but you is listening, so there is no point in saying it again. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Gotsha. About 20 seconds of googling and I found hundreds of sites backing up my statement.
