Too much trash in the US that needs to be taken out, permanently and expediently

This happened to an elderly friend of my parents'. Man in his 80's. Home invasion robbery. They steal stuff and just for kicks, they beat him into a coma before leaving. He died a few days later. Very sad. I don't understand people who brutalize those who are weak and helpless, i.e. children and the elderly. It's so cowardly.

Hopefully those individuals are punished to the fullest extent of the law, reading this story makes me rather upset but it happens. I hope my wife and I live that long and are married for that amount of time. As it is, if she was taken from me in such a manner I'd be done too.

No trial, just firing squad.

As much as I hate the dirtbags who perpetrated this crime, I also believe in due process. Let them have their day in court, find them guilty, and punish them to the fullest extent of the law.

Fullest extent of the law doesn't ever quite go far enough for something this heinous...

Why don't you understand them? All their humanity was destroyed as children. They are self hating monsters and they kill to relieve and manifest their pain as it happened to them.

I don't know if they are self-hating, but they certainly have no shred of human decency.


Damned sad story. Hope the animals are caught and fried until extra crispy.

Outsource, prison time, to Mexico, China, India wherever... Once they return after their prison term and tell their story, crime in this country will go down like never before...

I understand the psychological theory behind it. I just can't relate to having a desire to do that. I probably have some amount of "self-hate" too, as does everyone to some degree, but I still have no desire to do something like that. I guess it takes an awful lot of self-hate.

What, you think people that love themselves do that kind of shit. And the fact that they were fried as children made them that way. Your frying them will do nothing at all to fix the real problem but only make it worse. Frying folk turns them into monsters and you want more of the same because you were also fried, just enough to cause Stockholm syndrome and not full blows psychopathology.

Fuck all of moonbeam's psychobabble bullshit.

The mutts who committed this crime should also be charged with killing Bob Strait, even if they physically didn't murder him. They are still at fault for his death.

I've been a strong supporter of the death penalty for several decades and believe its use should be expanded.
Career criminals should be executed rather than sent to the "criminal's university" where they just learn new criminal trades...and become even less human than they were when they walked in the door. Why should the taxpayers have to feed, clothe, house, provide medical care, and even education for anyone who would commit such heinous acts?
They showed zero compassion for their victims, why should society show them any?

Spark them up.

Due process is what's wrong with our fucking justice system. I was listening to last week's episode of This American Life. They had this dude who's a state representative who was caught on tape taking a bribe from a FBI informant, yet he's not fucking guilty and was allowed to stay in office because they have to go through the whole due process crap in court to prove that he's guilty of the crime he committed. Are you kidding me? Stop wasting my damn tax dollars playing games. You have that stuff caught on tape man, throw him in prison already.
