I have REALLY got to stop reading the newspaper

When I go to lunch at work, I usually read the newspaper. Lately, though, I wish I hadn’t. I posted a story about the 3-4 reports of “people” who have left their children locked up in hot cars and returning to find them dead. Well, I should’ve stopped reading the paper then. However, being the glutton for punishment that I am, I trudged forward. Last week in the paper I read a story about a 13-year-old girl who is described as being “mentally deficient” and easily led. Well, it seems that this girl was kidnapped and raped by TWENTY-FIVE male creatures (I can’t possibly use the word “men” here) aged 12-27. Yes, you read it right, the youngest was 12!!! So far, 18 of these animals have been arrested or have turned themselves in. Warrants are out for the rest.

So, the point of this post concerns what will happen to these fucking animals. What WILL happen is that they’ll get far too light a sentence at taxpayer expense. Figure 25 beings @ $20,000/year for, say, 8 years = $4,000,000. If I had $4,000,000, I’d give to the state and execute these bastards. Of course, if we’re lucky, they’ll be murdered brutally while in prison. If not that, they’ll get the serious ass-reaming they so richly deserve.

What would be the difficulty in making the sentence for brutal crimes against children 10 times the amount that it would be for the same crimes against adults? I’m not in any way condoning violent crimes against adults, but to repeatedly rape a 13-year-old girl certainly warrants more than a simple prison sentence.

My god, who raised those subhumans!?

I agree with you on harsher sentencing for crimes against juveniles. Also that you should stop reading the newspaper.

Yep, I’m with you. I rarely read the paper anymore, unless I’m looking for something specific, or my husband points out something of interest. Perhaps I am less informed, but there are some things I truly do not wish to be informed of.

This is one of the reasons why I left the newspaper business. I read some stories over the AP wire that were so horrible I was sorry I had looked at them.

My God. Twenty-five people raping a 13-year-old? My heart breaks for this poor girl.

Nice to see a posting by a real man for a change!

Yeah I definitely agree- WHY would anyone feel the need to do that? And someone 12 years old…jesus…

I don’t necessary agree with having harsher sentences when a juvenile is hurt…the victim feels just as much, no matter what age they are, right?
