A fifteen-year-old boy was murdered in Florida recently by five teens and one adult.
The boy, Seath Tyler Jackson, was beat and shot to death, his body stuffed inside a sleeping bag and burned in a pit behind a trailer. The motive apparently had something to do with a romance gone bad and bad blood between two teenage boys.
Of course this is a horrible crime. And I think these people probably did it. But everyone deserves their day in court.
Unfortunately, every time this kind of crime is reported, anonymous posters will typically say something like this:

- What garbage we are raising in this country? I’m sure these particular pieces of worthless garbage have had cots in prison reserved,with their names on them, since the day they entered this world. I’m just so sorry that this poor kid had to be the final nail in the pathetic coffins they used to call their lives.They don’t even deserve jail…it too honorable a place for scum like this.If this was my kid the only goal left in my life would have been to torture and kill every one of them.And I’d smuggle something into court to do it right there in front of everybody.It would be premeditated ..yes..but what jury in the world would convict me?
Jail is letting them off pretty easy IMO!
>>I feel your outrage, <angryposter>, but apparently the reason this kid was murdered exactly because these young people decided they had the right to take the life of another human being in order to solve a problem.
We have laws and a criminal justice system in order to deal with anger, hatred and personal disputes.
My feeling is this quite common desire to “torture and kill” is not just the reaction to these horrible events but a direct cause of them.
>>Your idea of smuggling some kind of weapon into a courthouse to kill people is appalling, as is your apparent belief that murderers are “garbage” people who are predestined to commit murder (thus making you feel insulated from any wrong doing) as opposed to angry, illogical human beings who made horrible decisions based on anger (which you would justify for yourself).
I don’t want to torture and kill you, just slap you upside the head.
There’s nothing like an anonymous post to make me feel all self righteous. So go eat poop, Troutboy!
I will not be happy until all these angry, sick animals are submitted to the torture they deserve.
By clubbing, stabbing, electro-shocking, slowly torturing them and forcing them to eat their own fingers I will prove that all violence is wrong.
Only in this way will our God-given American rights continue.
Hey, it worked in Guantanamo!
