DEATH TO DRUNK DRIVERS: AN EYE FOR AN EYE

Well China has stepped up to the plate holding people accountable for the sins they commit. Certainly they have none of the liberal minded spare the feelings of the offender; they have taken a Middle Eastern approach to crime and punishment; an eye for an eye.

And so it should have come as no surprise when they sentenced a convicted drunk driver to death for killing four people. In addition the man had been driving without a license. Read that story HERE

Okay, I live in California and I can already hear the bleeding hearts telling me that now the man's family will suffer and two wrongs don't make a right and how we should all be against the death penalty, killing animals for their fur and raising our own vegetables as we smoke our happy joint. Well save it; I think the guy should get the death penalty. Why? Because at some point people have to start being held accountable for their actions without one of those get out of jail cards that seem to exist all   over the place.

Charles Manson is a great example;  guilty beyond any possible doubt and he is still around, granted way old and somewhat slower, but nonetheless in far better shape than Sharon Tate and the rest of his victims, including her baby. We all pay for that upkeep. Why? Because it is inhumane to put a prisoner to death; and yet perfectly fine to go and bomb cities we are at war with. A strange logic there. We can condone the clubbing of baby seals for their fur, but God forbid a murder gets dispatched to the never after instead of us footing the bill for supporting him the rest of his unnatural life. And have you seen those prison perks?

In the Middle East you can tell a thief by the fact he has one hand. You can tell a really stupid thief if he has no hands. The fact is that if you steal they will chop of the hand that stole. It is the old eye for an eye rule and frankly when you look at the crime rate there compared to the crime rate here, I say we should be chopping off some hands as well.  It would simplify rape convictions and child molesters as well.

Where is my compassion you ask? Well the thing about compassion is that it is easy to extend when you have not been directly affected. I wonder how people who have been the victims or the family of victims of murderers and rapists, thieves and so on, feel about the criminal at that point?  I respect the family of those victims who attend the executions. It may well be ugly but you at least know that evil has been dispatched from the world.

When I read a newspaper and it is an endless list of crimes against the people of the city in which I live, my first thought is that we have too much compassion. I guess this mentality of kindness is why things are ugly out there, why many teenagers have no regard for rules, and why attitudes of many people you encounter can only be described as moronic.

Here in the U.S. it is okay for students to tell their parents and their teachers to fuck off. They do not get expelled because the little angels have a right to be educated even if they blow that right of their own accord. And the "nice" boy's parents will find nice lawyers who will tell you that the kid was traumatized that the teacher got upset after being told to fuck off. Huh? The little angel and his gang will deface and destroy whatever they want because unless you happen to stand there with a video camera they will claim that you were mistaken; that it was not him. And if you get him on video tape they will sue you for violating his right to privacy because he is a minor.

Is this that different in logic from the burglar suing you after he breaks into your home and you shoot and injure him? Guess who wins in court? He does. Turns out you actually have to kill him to save yourself the angst of the lawsuit and the retribution that will surely follow.

In my opinion we have spared the rod for far too long. Talk therapy does not work. Crazy people remain crazy. And we all suffer as a result of some emasculated sense of justice that we have bashed into us daily from the media, and any group with an agenda to push.  Parents are no longer allowed to parent. And it shows.

Remember the American kid in Singapore who was jailed some years back for spitting his chewing gum out?  Singapore has a very low crime rate and is a super clean city. No gum! I kept waiting for him to announce how he should not have violated the law of the land, but instead all I heard was how harsh the sentence was and the fact that he was just a kid, just a nice boy.  Not only will he not go back to Singapore, if he did, I'll bet my socks he won't be chewing gum. I seem to remember some flogging in there as well.

Flogging. That rhymes with blogging! Happy Friday.
