Happy Sabbath! Now let's be gruesome about the death penalty...

So a lovely story about a horrific murder greeted me this morning on the Yahoo home page. A 19-year-old Texas college student was cut into pieces by her ex-boyfriend. Horrific, right? Well, it gets worse. Then he cooked her...ALL of her...on the patio barbecue grill. To the point where she does NOT exist anymore. There are NO REMAINS. She was cooked that thoroughly. Enjoying this cheery Lenten story? Horror doesn't get worse than this. SO...we KNOW who committed this atrocity. WE KNOW WHO DID IT. And WHAT he did. So this is where I'd like to wonder WHY we must bother with the time and money of a trial? I mean, seriously. Fuck a trial. JUST KILL HIM. NOW. Or, wait, will he learn something by sitting in prison for the rest of his life? Does he need time to think about what he did, like some 7-year-old who said a bad word? Yeah, we really need to teach him a REALLY good lesson! Bad, bad boy! Dicing up your ex like that, then burning her into ashes! Oh, WHAT are we gonna do with YOU?! This is the perfect example of evil personified, where we KNOW the killer's identity for sure. In other words, THIS is where the death penalty works. There is NO lesson to be taught, merely swift punishment. There is NO excuse...no "oh, he had an awful childhood" or "your honor, he's mentally retarded...oh, excuse me, CHALLENGED" or "he's insane." Yeah, he IS insane...and the world's better without him. Imagine that poor girl was your daughter, sister, cousin, friend. IMAGINE that. Knowing how she died. This isn't where I say "you're a better person than I am" for wanting them to "suffer" in prison for 60 years rather than be given death. You're not better than me. You're just stupid and/or gullible. Let us pray.
