Well, I suppose it is terribly wrong for us to take the moralistic view that
the life of an 11-year-old schoolgirl is any more valuable than that of the
grown man who raped and murdered her.
Surely the guy who abducted, raped, and bludgeoned to death that 7-year-old
is just as deserving of our concern as she was.
Shouldn't we feel sorry for the ex-con who stabbed to death a 22-year-old woman
after having been released only 3 months earlier from a 5 year sentence on a
previous rape charge?
We should really feel sorry for the guy who shot and killed the liquor store
owner, because he seems to be such a slow learner. After all, he had already
served 9 years for burglary and assault, 5 years for theft, and 8 years for
murder and assault.
How about the parolee who abducted and killed a 20-year-old man
in order to get his VCR? This parolee had already served 5 years for
auto theft and another 2 year term for burglary of a motor vehicle.
We surely shouldn't judge the guy who killed a 50-year-old female
clerk at a dry-cleaners. She chose to work for a living, he chose to kill.
How about the 20-year-old roofer who abducted and killed a 13-year-old girl
and a 14-year-old boy? Wouldn't it be better to just put him in jail for a few
years, where he could learn some skill, such as how to kill 4 at a time?
Ralf, I have a deal for you:
You bring back that 7-year-old girl, and I'll agree that those 9 (and I use the
word loosly) "men" should avoid the death penalty. Or are is it only the
criminals who "deserve" to live?
