Anger Rising...

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Just when I start to believe that there is good in humanity, just when I start to believe that mankind will not ultimately destroy itself through its own cruelty, stupidity, and short-sightedness, I see something like this:

Torture Tape Spurs Shock In Alva

This is the story of how two men in Alva, Oklahoma tortured a 21-year-old autistic man and videotaped the entire episode to emulate "Jackass," with the claimed intention of selling it.

Here's the kicker:

Wallace, 21, and Tarver, 22, were charged Tuesday in Woods County District Court with maiming and assault and battery with a deadly weapon. The combined maximum sentence is 17 years in prison upon conviction. Wallace is on probation after pleading guilty last year to child abuse, domestic abuse and two cruelty-to-animals charges. The child abuse involved a spiral leg fracture and bite marks on his 2-year-old stepchild. Wallace gave conflicting accounts about how the injuries occurred, court records show. One of the animal cruelty charges involved a kitten that was thrown against a wall.

This jerk, Wallace, will probably live to see the rest of his life, despite the obvious and repeated cruelty he displays toward those he perceives as weaker than he is. Brutally torturing an autistic man? Biting a 2-year-old? Twisting its leg until it breaks? Throwing kittens against walls? WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO STEP IN AND DO SOMETHING TO THIS GUY? Seventeen years, the maximum for this crime that he surely WON'T get (thanks to our toothless criminal "justice" system), would not be enough. With the disregard with which this "man" acts toward others, he should either put away for good, or have his license to live revoked. Sadly, there are enough liberal idiots out there who would scream for clemency...morons who claim he could be rehabilitated...fools who believe no person should be killed in the name of justice, even when all the evidence points to their defectiveness, their lack of ability to be a decent, honest, productive member of human society.

I would say this: notice the interesting escalation in each crime. He began with kittens, then abused a toddler, then tortured a man his own age. This is a common pattern and will end badly...and unfortunately, he will have to kill someone before someone else decides to step in. We can assess blame, or we can fix the problem. Let's call a spade a spade, admit that this man has evil in him that won't go away, and dispose of him quickly and painlessly, before he really does some damage...oh, wait, we're already there. Until we're ready to do what must be done, lives will be ruined by people like this "man."

I'll be watching this case to see how it is resolved, and I'll let you know. Thanks for reading along.
