In a world that was truly just, Jared Lee Loughner, mentally ill or not would be publicly impaled.
I know it sounds harsh to some, but when I saw the picture of the 9 year old girl who was one of the victims, the punishment of impaling was the only thing that crossed my mind.
Keeping him in the system is just wrong wrong wrong.
As an atheist, I value life. It is our only opportunity to consciously exist. When someone takes it away from the innocent, an eye for an eye is the only way to go.
Plus, a good impaling, if done by the government, could help reduce the deficit. Make it a pay-for-view event. Millions of people would pay to watch. Sure, some wouldn't, even some who agree with the sentence.
Who should get impaled? First off, the person has to be 100% guilty. No doubts. Insanity is not a defense. Child molesters (hard to prove 100% guilt), those who murder innocent bystanders intentionally, and terrorists.
I have a softer stance on domestic murders and thugs knocking off thugs. Life for them.
I wonder if Palin can get sued by some of the victim's families for her Cross-Hairs map?
And guns. We don't live in the 1700's anymore. Ban them already.
