He is an icon for the legions of faceless children who suffer the same violence throughout the world on a daily basis.<br /><br />It's a tragedy that another family's life has been torn to shreds in a matter of moments. I've never been one to embrace the sentimental "no bad kids" myth; all are born depraved and bent towards wickedness. Yet still its shocking to see such depravity manifested in one barely into their teens. His life, the life of his family and his victim's family will bear the scars for a lifetime.<br /><br />There has to be a reckoning for a crime of this magnitude. Though I fully support capital punishment for for willful, premeditated murder, I stridently oppose both the execution of minors, or those who comitted heinous crimes as minors. Yet a crime of this depth has to be punished with the severest means available.<br /><br />Then, there's the tragedy that few have the brass assets to discuss, and that is the stolen innocence of the accused. In our Kinseyian dystopia, we sexualize kindergarteners in the name of "education", legitimize any and all sexual behaovors in the name of tolerance, then after providing these children with a comprehensive education in contrabiblical sexual practices, expect the young cherubs to remain chaste. <br />When the sexual revolution turns its eyes on elementary schools, it becomes sexual terrorism. In that economy, the prey almost always become predator.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516444685469895837noreply@blogger.com
