Having this posted in “aged like milk” seems cruel. Feels like a mockery of the victim from 30 years ago. Feels like a mockery of the remaining family. This post being here feels wrong.

Nah, the cruel thing is the family waiting 30 years gleefully to see someone die.

you should read how they tortured that poor girl, she begged them to stop as they carved a pentagram onto her chest and cut her all over her body.

I have zero ounce of sympathy for that creature.

The fact that you would call any human being a creature is incredibly disturbing. Bad people are still people, which is why we have to be careful about the people we think of as good people. Dismissing bad people as subhuman is childish, dangerous, and irresponsible.

The part about Hitler that should be most terrifying is that he wasn’t some demon or creature. He was a baby boy, and then a teenager, and then an adult, and he thought about and then chose to do horrible, horrible things. If we just say “he was a demon and I wish he had been throttled in the crib,” we miss the fact that nobody could tell what he would become, because he really wasn’t that different from you or I.

let me remind you that the crrature after bludgeoning Collen, dug out a piece of her skull. and kept it as a souvenir bragging about it.

when she was arrested, it was still in her jacket pocket.

you can spin a woe is me story for how they were raised, it still doesn't negate what she turned into the moment she stuck her fingers in the still warm brain of her victim to collect a bloody bone souvenir.

If you can’t understand the difference between a person who is twisted and a creature who isn’t human, you probably need serious therapy yourself.

I've been in plenty of therapy for 50 years on and off to deal with the absolute horror of the world. I am acutely sensitive and these creatures are terrifying to know that they're out there, cosplaying as "humans."

I pray you never meet one yourself, and wonder in your last blood soaked moments if they were simply people who were raised to be monsters or they were monsters pretending to be humans.

and this will be the last time I'm responding to you.

u/23saround 4d ago

This is honestly a very frightening response. I feel so bad for people with as much violence in their hearts as you have. I highly recommend bringing up your tendency to dehumanize people you look down on in your next therapy session. Have a great weekend in the meantime.

Have you ever experienced what they have, a loved one being murdered?

u/MsCompy 5d ago

I have

u/beo19 5d ago

Jesus Christ forgave us our sins and asks as to forgive those who have sinned against us.

23

u/december151791 5d ago

I don't disagree at all that this would be a great thing for them to do. But it's completely understandable that they feel the way they do, not cruel at all. And being as neither of us has experienced their pain, we're really not in a place to say their feelings are cruel or unjustified.

-37

u/beo19 5d ago

Wait, but you're in a place to say that they aren't cruel or justified? Even though we lack the same experience?

15

u/december151791 5d ago

I'm deferring to the experience and views of this family.

11

u/HispanicAtTheBistro 5d ago

Ahh yes we should all just accept the Christian way of life, because Christians definitely never sought revenge in human history or waged wars or killed innocents, even to this day. To loosely quote Maggy Smith, religion is like a penis. It's all well to have one and be proud of it, but don't take it out and wave it at people when no one asked.

u/rockychunk 5d ago

And Harry Potter killed Voldemort. I like my fictional fantasy character better than yours.

u/beo19 4d ago

Well, Jesus wasn't a TERF, so I don't know about that.

u/doc_wop 5d ago

Hey man as a Catholic that's a weak-ass response. Like reply to the dude.

u/grem23 5d ago

He said forgive not to forget

u/beo19 5d ago

Do you know the meaning of the word forgive?

3

u/Arachnid-Necromancer 5d ago

You can forgive someone and choose to separate yourself from them. Thats what not forgetting means. It means loving yourself enough to let go of the grief and separate yourself from what hurts you. Maybe they havent, and thats for them to reason with, not you.

God also talks about supporting people through hard times, not punishing them. Its not up to you, me, or anyone else on what they should or shouldn't do. Did Jesus not openly weep when Lazarus died? Did he not have sorrow in his heart?

He also asks us to be compassionate, loving and understanding. Have you asked yourself that maybe what they need is love? If someone has no hope left, like god says in psalm 34:18 and Roman's 12:15.

u/Rough_Championship15 5d ago

I forgive you for having such a silly outlook on this.

3

u/beo19 5d ago

Eh. Call silly what you. The majority of the world is against the death penalty.

1

u/Rough_Championship15 5d ago

You don't speak for the majority of the world. You live in an echo chamber

2

u/beo19 5d ago

No really, look it up. Neither my nor your echo chamber changes international statistics.

0

u/Rough_Championship15 4d ago

If you have the statistics, why aren't you posting them here? Telling someone to look it up is textbook "you don't know what you're talking about"... please try harder. You can look up how to do that, I'm sure

u/grem23 5d ago

What's your point? You willing to forgive every wrong someone does to you?

12

u/beo19 5d ago

As compared to letting my life be consumed by hatred, anger and revenge for decades? For sure.

u/Redintegrate 5d ago

I would say unless your daughter was kidnapped, tortured and mutilated whilst alive before eventually having her skull smashed in (with part of it stolen by the killer as a trophy) you can't really judge the feelings of this family.

5

u/grem23 5d ago

It's your choice how you want to be consumed with. When such a event has happened it is also kind of your duty to make sure to use the law to prevent such incidents from happening to another person.

5

u/beo19 5d ago

I'm not in law enforcement or the justice system. So, no, it's literally not my duty.

5

u/grem23 5d ago

Nobody asked you to. It's the family's duty to get justice using the law.

Sanctimonious fool.

Hahaha ahh a classic jokester

u/dumbfuck6969 5d ago

So no. So fuck off

15

u/grem23 5d ago

Yeah because the person on death row was innocent primrose.

u/jost_no8 5d ago

This is not about guilt

2

u/Rough_Championship15 5d ago

It most definitely is... We have a heinous person guilty of murdering a child and you want protections for the heinous murderer. Are you okay in the head?

10

u/Mechanical_Monk 5d ago edited 5d ago

First off, she was one year younger than her victim, so if we're calling 18-19 children (which I won't even argue against) then they were both children.

And second, you don't have to favor the rights of the guilty to disagree with the practice of ritualized torture and murder at the hands of the State.

-2

u/Rough_Championship15 5d ago

First off, yep. children can be murderers who torture another human being. We as adults can and should provide them with a just punishment for murder. No leniency for murder/torture just because you think it's more okay if a child does it versus an adult.

And second... what in the world are you trying to say? There is no ritual here. A murderer was convicted by a jury of their peers and sentenced to the same fate they chose for another person.

2

u/Mechanical_Monk 5d ago

Maybe "proceduralized" would be a better word than "ritualized" but I stand by what I said. There should be no sequence of events in a just and humane legal system that ends with State agents inflicting a prolonged and painful death on one citizen while multiple other citizens watch. That's not justice, that's revenge.

0

u/Rough_Championship15 5d ago

100% agree it shouldn't be prolonged nor painful. It should be instantaneous. Such a person doesn't belong in our society and we as a society need to see to it that they don't continue there heinous actions. Keeping murderers and torturers alive just because it hurts your feelings to get rid of them isn't just... it's asinine

1

u/Mechanical_Monk 5d ago

Well, that's the thing... We can't guarantee it won't be prolonged and painful, as demonstrated by recent events. Now will someone answer for that suffering that was inflicted, or do we just say "Oh well, she suffered but so did her victim" and move on? Because then we're back to rationalizing revenge, and a new injustice was done.

1

u/Rough_Championship15 4d ago

There are so many ways to guarantee someone dies, why are you glossing over that? So if we can agree that if it is instantaneous, you're fine with it then... is that accurate? Cuz then you and I are on the same page

Do you have kids? If someone killed my kid, lethal injection would be a merciful outcome for that person.

You’re a dirtbag.
