Shocking :( . And evil.

The fact that the guy stayed to fall asleep between the two dead bodies(!!) makes him sound like someone either insane or drugged out of his mind.

If that was the case, would you still advocate death penalty for him?

Yep...although I don't actually condone the death penalty. If you are going to have it just being drugged is no excuse for maurder, it is an illegal act in itself and no defence for another illegal act...

Being insane on the other hand is a different kettle of fish, because you aren't punishing evil you are punishing illness. Although with the mental health systems in most countries being a shambles Prison might be the best option, apparently prisoners get the best mental health care of anyone.

I didn't mean he fell asleep physically between the two bodies. He was just asleep in the apartment with them. You'd think he would have tried to run away, or hide the bodies or something. (Maljonic thinks he was on drugs and then collapsed.)

My mother said that there was a rumour that he was the boyfriend of the woman he killed, but just a rumour. These things usually do happen between people who are close, though. My sister had a coworker who stabbed his ex-wife 40 times till she died. When I was on grand jury, we had a witness who was an 8-year-old boy who watched his aunt stab his mother to death.

How awful for the little girl.

That is sick.

I really don't know how anyone can bring themselves to even think of such attrocities let alone carry them out!

I sympathis for the girl and her family. I think that torture for the rest of his shamefull life would be the only thing worthy of him. I really do hope theres a special place in hell for that batsard.

You always hear things liek this and are disgusted by the scum, but when it affects you it's completely different.

In the easter holidays one of my friends was going home, she rung a taxi. the taxi driver drove her down to a local park and with a couple of friends raped her. I thik that is just sick. they just left her there at 1:30 in the morning raped, naked and alone.

Got back from the oregon shakespere festival yesterday. We didn't actualy see any plays by shakespere, but we did see these:
Gibralter
the tragic history of doctor faustus
Nipoli marionari(might have spelled it wrong.)
They were all superb.

What a terrible story, Marcia, and your friend's, Hex. :(

It is important, though, that we remember the perpetrators of these acts are humans, whatever they have done; and that there were reasons for what they did beyond the simple 'they're just naturally evil'. If we allow ourselves to dehumanise and demonise people who do bad things, then we lose sight of the way to prevent others reaching the same point.

Garner and I spent all of yesterday helping some friends move house. So I didn't get any online time, which sucks.


Mrs G
The Garner who cares.

I am again just about to go into work which again pisses me off. Again it is sunny outside and again my friend has texted me to see if I want to go the pub for a pint later. Again i'm going to shoot him and again you should all feel sorry for me, not him. Again. :(

I feel sorry for you Kenny. I had to get up at 6:30 this morning so that I had time to get to school and do all the stuff i need to before going to school.

This isn't so bad useually as I do it every weekday. last night/this morning however I was reading digital fortress untill 3:40! I did the same th night before.

I have now finished digital fortress. Yey. Now I need to get Deception Point back of my friend. I lent it to her about three weeks ago and she's only just started it OOh well she'll get through it. I'll just re-read a Discworld book in the mean time

OK really really really shit day. :x :x :x

OK It started in the morning when I was taken out of lessons by my head of year about my missing the last lesson of the day before. I got a detention for that which is shit. My brother misses loads of lessons all the fucking time, he doesn't get shit for it.

Then I was forced to redo a load of coursework because my shitty fucking teacher lost mine! I then found out about one of the little bastards that smashed my windows the other month. I went to twat the little shit when a teacher stopped me, it took three of them to stop me killing the shit.

I was then given two more detentions for trying to kill that bastard and another one for swearing at the teachers and nearly punching them.

I came home late in the rain to find that I was locked out aswell. It waited twenty minuets in the rain for my shitty little brother to come. I came upstairs and went onto the computer to find that we had four major viruses. The computer was going really slow. It took me at least half an hour to download an anti-viruse as mine was out of date.

I'm now listening to the likes of slipknot very very very loud. Surfice to say i'm pissed off.

Today I had a long argument with my bitch of a boss.

In fairness, I had buggered up something, however, the woman has no man management skills to speak of and started laying right into me, which put me onto the defensive resulting in argument.

I need a new job.
