there's bad and then there's BAD!!!!! i don't have the answer for whether
prisons are the right way to address crime. but torturing and killing a
little child... that's not something that can be attributed simply to a
troubled youth. there must something monstrously wrong with anyone that
tortures and kills another person. maybe the killers cannot be understood by
the common mind and they must be separated forever from the rest of the
people they wounded so terribly. if they were really worthy of compassion
they themselves would request never to be released. i guess that i can't
analyze this case form a merely philosophical point of view. i'd better stop
here.
