I
realize that all of us here love to read about
murder. It's pretty much all I read and write about.
On the other hand, murder actually does happen and
when it touches lives words like "emotions" and
"intelligence" and "fairest" ring pretty smug and
hollow. Imagine a family like Sharon Tate's who for
the last 40 years have made it their main purpose to
go the parole hearings of all 5 of the people
convicted of killing their daughter and sister just so
the American Government doesn't FORGET what they put
those people in prison for and let them out with the
rest of us. Should an American family have to live
like this? A pregnant girl was brutally murdered, the
people who drove the knives into her body are up for
PAROLE and you're lecturing me about "fairness." I'm
not looking for emotional satisfaction. I'm not
looking for revenge. I'm looking for a total solution
to a very specific problem once and for all.
