*douses mushroom cloud above head*

Wow. If/when they catch whoever did that (I suspect it's a "when" situation as someone that nasty probably won't be able to help bragging about it) the police are going to have to keep a lynch mob at bay - not that said coppers will probably feel inclined to try all that hard.

How absolutely horrible. The poor girl.

I pretty much stopped at the headline. As you say, file under "Needs Killin'". That is unutterably heinous.

There is certainly a correlary relationship there for both serial killers/sociopaths- late age bedwetting and pyromania as well.

I couldn't even read beyond the headline.

oh my god.

That poor young woman. That's someone who knows her, and they probably will catch him.

And when they do, well, I hope they string him up by his toenails, pull both his arms off, and beat him with the wet ends.

Some people, as my dad says, are not worth the powder to blow them to Hell.

Either that, Naamah, or we could tie him (it COULDN'T be a her!) up and you could read bookfulls of Tom Swifties to him -- or maybe we could hard-wire him to send a direct brainfeed.

Awful! Just awful!

Yanno, I'm nominally against captial punishment, but with this waste of carbon, I'd take my time.

While I don't agree with the killing of the person, they are clearly disturbed and need to be found ASAP.

The person responsible is most likely male, and they should probably look at any ex-boyfriends or spurned male friends. That would be who my money is on.

Then they should get that person off the streets before they move on from animals and towards people.

People like that grow up to be people like this.

*furrows brow* That doesn't sound like the action of an even marginally sane individual. The fact that there was Valentine's candy with the head is what really is making this particular event seem... unusual.

Batteries, a congratulation, dog head, and then candy. That just sounds like something a schizophrenic would do... no rational, controllable thought process came through for me.

If the perpetrator performed said act with full understanding of what they were doing they need to be put far away from their fellow man. Certainly, humans are capable of horrifying cruelty... but the whole situation doesn't make sense.

I... I just don't get what possible motivation could inspire somebody to do that. Really... I'm dumbfounded. Horrified and dumb founded. The poor, poor dear.

Torture of any kind has been shown to be damaging to the psyche of the torturerr. If you kill him cleanly, he's dead, and that's what's important.

To me the relevant quote comes from Heinlein's Starship Troopers, after a deserter who committed murder is hanged: "I knew he would not kill any more young girls.'

Someone posted this to a message board I read. You know how passive I am normally. I'll just cut and paste my response since I still feel it.

Some one deserves to be drug out into the street, castrated publicly and then shot...to maim and not to kill. And then, maybe just then, it'll be time for some justice. What a sick and twisted bastard of an asshole!!!!
