People like this should be killed, in a very painful, cruel, public execution.

I thought you just meant people in general.  
Those that murder children make me want to eyeball stab the mother fuckers with a piece of 3inch trim molding then smash their head with a drywall hammer.

I’ve probably said too much.

I hate RO, it brings out the best in me.

I would hope for a swift execution Texas style but I hear women’s prisons can be brutal as well for this type of thing much like male child molesters are ostrocised and even face physical violence in prison. If the cost of execution is an issue, just let me do it for free. A firing squad of one person armed with only a pellet gun might take a while but it would be very cheap.

I saw the headline and a picture of a smiling little girl.

That, frankly, was enough for me.

Uh, yeah, whoops, things “just” spun out of control. I hate when that happens. And it all starts when some little kid fails to say “please” and “yes, sir.”

This is the problem with the ones you call “people.” They actually try to make out-of-control temper seem somehow _normal_. No, it isn’t. Learn to control your rage, wusses. Sadly, the little girl was the most emotionally mature one.

These stories are crushing. Not only is there the amazing physical violence, but I can’t help to think what was going through the poor little girl’s mind when her only line of defense to the world was beating her to death.

Ugh.

Nothing surprises me anymore. I have been having nightmares about this kind of thing most of my life.

You name it, some piece of garbage that walks like a human is going to feel depraved indifference about it (is that even a legal phrase these days???), if not actually get their rocks off about it.

Things like this, you almost start to understand why people in the Middle Ages were burned at the stake.

Not in particular. The Middle Ages showed a profound cruel indifference to the wellbeing of children. You’d be more likely to be burned at the stake for any offense, real or imagined, than abusing your own children.

I thought of that myself, but figured I had a zingy response going and took the chance.

Anyway, we’re all just each other’s playtoys in this world, unless we’re just big and bad and awful. Nothing to be done, really, except love each other.

Awful and tragic.

I wonder, though, how the prosecution knows that the girl reached out to her mom, saying I love you as her last words and so forth.

That was my first thought, too. Did the husband witness it?

ETA: Though I suppose it wouldn’t look too good for him, either. Unless he’s saying he had absolutely no part in it and just overheard what the girl said.

Damn.

I’m from Texas, and I support the death penalty.

This is one of the reasons why.

Fuck. What did they think was going to happen when you throw a child against a wall?

(Off topic, and my own personal RO, but how the fuck can lawyers say that shit with a straight face? I know everyone is entitled to a defense, but fuck me, I need a shower just from reading that.)

Just kill these bastards, slowly please. Just like they killed the little girl. Useless waste of space. Some people really should not be allowed to procreate.

I’m curious about that too. We’ve followed this story from the start when they’d found her body and didn’t know who she was as we’re just about 50 miles away and frequent Galveston. The outpouring of sympathy here has been, as you might imagine, huge. Last night on the news as they covered trial developments was the first mention of Riley calling out. I imagine it’s the defense attorney trying to put all the focus on Zeigler who’s trial will start after Trenor’s.

This has been disturbing on so many levels. While Zeigler is a despicable cretin that deserves death row, what in God’s name kept mom Trenor from protecting Riley?

Couldn’t read after the first couple paragraphs. The OP needs to add “slow” to that execution. I’d be happy to administer it. Seriously.
