No trial for these *things*. Just call out the firing squad.

ALTON, Ill. - Banished to the basement, the 29-year-old mother with a childlike mind and another baby on the way had little more than a thin rug and a mattress to call her own on the chilly concrete floor.

Dorothy Dixon ate what she could forage from the refrigerator upstairs, where housemates used her for target practice with BBs, burned her with a glue gun and doused her with scalding liquid that peeled away her skin.

They torched what few clothes she had, so she walked around naked. They often pummeled her with an aluminum bat or metal handle.

Dixon — six months pregnant — died after weeks of abuse. Police have charged two adults, three teenagers and a 12-year-old boy with murder in the case that has repulsed many in this Mississippi River town.

Not even going to open the link, that's more than I need to know. I just don't get people sometimes.

That's sickening. Truly. The way I figure, if a coffee maker company makes 1,000,000 coffee makers, about 1-2 percent are going to be defective. No real good reason why, they're just put together that way.

That's how I (attempt) to rationalize some people.

No, no, no, HAVE a trial, make sure it goes on public record what these beasts did and who was leading the way.

THEN snuff them.

THEN snuff them.

What Starman said. Have it on public record, make sure everyone know what happened, and then call in the executioner.

applies to the worst people in the world, too. they'll get their day in court. just as everyone should.

 

[zebracoy]

Awful, simply awful. How don't some of these people realize 1) that it's wrong to even think about it, 2) that it's awful to do it, and 3) to do it multiple times?

I just shudder.

Good grief.

For pieces of **** like this, I say we bring back public stoning. Yes, it's wholly barbaric, but isn't what they did barbaric and don't they merit an equal punishment under the law?

 

[ArnoldBabar]

Read that story this morning, and it literally made me sick to my stomach. I couldn't shake it the rest of the day. The details are just horrifying and sad. To even imagine a person dying that way.

What I don't get is, OK, I can see one person being completely ****ed enough to do something like this. People like Grimace's bad-wired coffee makers. But six of them? Together? And not one of them said, "You know, maybe we shouldn't be pouring boiling water on the pregnant retarded woman"? Really?

These people should be exterminated in the most unpleasant way possible. There aren't many cases where I think I could personally kill someone, but I think I could do it here.

I'm completely opposed to the death penalty, but it's very difficult to defend the lives of these evil scumbags.

Wow, it's like a Rainbow Coalition of psychotic fail

The really, really ugly bizarro Benetton maybe.

Those three females look familiar...OK, they look like women on various Poindexter pedophile teacher threads. Man, seriously, looks like a photoshoot for a five-way tie for the weekly Darwin Award.

(And, needless to say, very morally decrepit people.)

You can't have public stonings, or vigilante justice or anything like that.

Sad as it seems, society can't reduce itself to the lowest common denominator. That is how society breaks down into total anarchy in the streets.

On the other hand, good stiff sentences with plenty of hard labor would be nice. No parole, just the rest of your life in a hot, cramped cell.

If it gets to anarchy, though, I hope I take out six assholes with my 36" Easton aluminum slugger before my own head gets bashed into cole slaw.

I'm working on my swing, ya know.

Good post, Night Owl.

And a 36" bat? Lay off the 'roids, dude.

The only thing sicker would be David Beckham frenching an Irish setter.

No mercy. Beet-picking detail in Poland, stone-breaking in New Mexico, an all-expenses-paid vacation to Tikrit, on special reserve for biomedical testing. Whatever it takes.
