JUSTICE SYSTEM TOO SOFT ON CRIMINALS

On Wednesday, October 25, the state of Florida executed Danny Rolling by lethal injection. Going to sleep is a very easy way to die for a serial killer that brutally butchered five college students in Gainesville. According to newspaper reports, the victims’ families felt he should have suffered much more before taking his lasts breaths. I agree.

Showing love and forgiveness to the likes of Danny Rolling is inconceivable to me. I do not understand people with those inclinations, those who protest against the death penalty. You have to be brainwashed, not to realize such behavior is a perversion or degeneration of human emotion. We are not cold-blooded reptiles. Hatred and punishment are the proper responses to the heinous acts of such monsters.

Vengeance, yes, vengeance is appropriate. Let us look at the definition of “vengeance.” It is “Infliction of punishment in return for a wrong committed; retribution.” What is wrong with that when dealing with hardened criminals, oppressive dictators, or all the other vermin that inhabit our planet? There is nothing wrong with it. The desire for vengeance is a proper human emotion, and do not let anybody tell you any different. Do not ever feel ashamed for hating or wanting to give these bastards some of their own medicine.

Many people say “not vengeance, but justice.” Okay, in a civilized society we cannot have people taking the law into their own hands, not that I would mind family members of victims “taking care” of fiends like Danny Rolling, but I understand that many innocent people would be wrongly injured or executed if we allowed it. We do need trials to make sure juries find the right suspects guilty while the wrong suspects go free. However, in the way it sentences and punishes, the justice system must become more just. Danny Rolling committed those crimes back in 1990. It took the justice system SIXTEEN YEARS to kill this namuh* with (of all possible forms of execution) A LOUSY INJECTION.

The justice system should reflect the hurt, the anger, and the outrage of the victims’ families, by issuing physical punishment to criminals in equal or greater proportion to the pain and trauma they inflicted. It is only fair. If society does not want people taking the law into their own hands, then society must channel the rightful feelings of vengeance by the families of victims through the justice system.

We must not ask aggrieved mourners to subdue their emotions. We must ask the laws, the judges, and the juries to deliver sentences and punishment that satisfy those emotions. It is the right thing to do and, again, do not let pacifists or people who like to turn-the-other-cheek tell you any different. God gave us a whole range of emotions to react to different situations. Therefore, when somebody hurts one of your loved ones for no good reason whatsoever, do not be ashamed to ask for blood in return.
