Capital Punishment for Couey
I was just reading a news brief on the case of the rape and murder of the nine year old Jessica Lunsford. Stories like this make me sick, and I normally avoid them, not to remain ignorant, but keep my sanity.
A picture of Jessica Lunsford, which I was not able to download in order to share with you, caught my eye, and I had to read the brief statements. I learned something that I did not know. Did you know that she was buried alive, after being raped?
Typing through tears is hard, but I feel like I have to right now. I have five children, and I can’t help but think what… what that would do to a mother, a father, or worse yet, what that child was forced to endure before the release of death. AHHHHHHHHHH! I just want to scream and hit something hard!
When I read that John Evander Couey, the child molester and murderer that caused Jessica the kind of agony that no person should ever have to endure, “could face the death penalty”, I was infuriated! What do they mean, “could?” That’s bull*#%@ !
I think that any convicted child mmolester and/or murderer should be put to death! No waiting - just kill them! The risk of them getting out of prison is not worth it, not to mention I don’t want a penny of my tax dollars going to feed them! Let ‘em starve! Lethal injection is too nice for them too! Hangings should be brought back just for these people, if you can call them that.
I look at that picture of Jessica, and can’t help but to think of my children. I wonder, is the stranger-talks and news clips I share with them of these tragedies enough to keep them aware and safe?
