The death penalty is too easy. As a Dad myself I can imagine how her family are feeling. I know that if a simlar thing had happened to my daughter when she was younger then the realisation that nothing that is done could bring her back would be very hard to come to terms with. But, I'd feel a whole lot better if I knew her tormentors had suffered as much as she had. If the law wouldn't do it then I would, they'd have to lock this scum up very tight after the guilty verdict because I would pay a lot of money and do time in hell to see they got was coming to them.
How long do we have to see schoolteachers and young kids horrifically murdered before the people who are supposed to be running this fucked up society of ours take notice of what's going on outside of their own nice, safe cocooned environment? The danger here is that if the law won't do anything to address the growing problems then we're eventually going to see vigilante style mobs springing up everywhere and innocent people are going to get hurt.
The lunatics have taken over the asylum!
