For Suspect in 3 Deaths, Family Steeped in Prominence
The New York Times ^ | July 26, 007 | ALISON LEIGH COWAN and STACEY STOWE

STAMFORD, Conn., July 25 — His grandfather was a leading Russian theatrical director and the son of a princess. His grandmother was a pioneering modern dancer. His uncle retired three years ago as chief executive of a major public relations company.

But this week, the family of Joshua Komisarjevsky was under a different sort of spotlight. On Tuesday, Mr. Komisarjevsky, 26, was charged with 13 felony counts, including kidnapping and sexual assault, in the brutal invasion of a home in Cheshire, only a few miles from his own house in the same town. By the time the ordeal was over, a woman and her two daughters were dead, and the father, a prominent doctor, was in the hospital after being clubbed in the head.

Here's a little background from the NYT on the younger of the two subhumans who perpetrated this atrocity. Notice how the Slimes glosses over the fact that the subhumans tied Dr. Petit's daughters to their beds, repeatedly raped them, poured gasoline over them, and incinerated those two innocent girls while they were alive and conscious.

But of course. After all, it’s not p.c. to question someone’s sexuality. (Yes, that was sarcasm.)

He was beaten to an almost unrecognizable pulp with a baseball bat, tied up, and tossed in the basement.

Still in the hospital. He was tied up in the basement and beaten. He escaped while the house was on fire and made it to a neighbors. From what I recall reading somewhere, he was still tied up during his escape.

Komisarjevsky is Russian for Kennedy.

I think we should bring back the punishment of being burned at the stake.

“Komisarjevsky is Russian for Kennedy.”

How fitting.

Criminals!

I know most people think they should be fried tomorrow, but we have a lot to examine here before making a decision to seek a capital charge,” said Michael J. Dearington, the state’s attorney for the judicial district of New Haven, who is handling the case.

A major part of the problem right here.

Yeah, except for Fox, the MSM is not reporting the details. The girls were white and thus, in the mind of liberals, not a real “victim”.

Gee, the New York Times is awfully quick with profiling evil people and The Enemy.

I don’t watch much cable or broadcast news, but I have been surprised this has been a big story on the web. And it sounds like most details are being reported. That’s good, as horrible as it is, because the public needs to be aware of how much evil is out there and that they must protect themselves.

I see that the younger slimeball was a step grandson of the conservative columnist John Chamberlain, who also lived in Cheshire. That was a shocker. I think one of Chamberlain’s daughters was Tanya Metaksa, who was a VP of the NRA.

If some in the “news” media are not wanting to give a lot of details it probably is because they support a criminal coddling agenda. There would be even less news if the “complexion” of the crime were different, if you know what I mean. For example, most people on here are familiar with the Wichita carjacking/rapes/murders of Dec. 2000. The circumstances were somewhat similar to this CT case. Yet I don’t recall hearing one word about that from the mainstream media at that time.

So much for the nonsense about how poverty causes violence and taxpayers shouldn’t be so stingy about funding more “programs.” No goverment program (except prison!) or education would have prevented this kid, who was obviously just pure evil, from doing what he did.

I have to wonder if this “non violent” offender and his excrement partner weren’t really filthy perverts who intentionally targeted Mrs Petit and her daughter because they wanted to do this to a child.

If any victims’ rights/pro death penalty rallies are planned for the Cheshire area, let me know. I will be there.

I would agree with you about the death penalty *if* savages could be given true cruel and unusual punishment in prison. If hard labor were still allowed, or if they could be kept in solitary confinement the rest of their lives, I would prefer that to the very human death of being given a shot like youre being put to sleep.

At the same time, you never know in the future when some murderer could escape from prison, do harm to the guards, or even be freed by some left wing judge because of “overcrowding.” Killing them is the only way to ensure they will never harm another person.

In this case it can't even be ascribed the the MSM's distaste for reporting gruesome crime details when the perps are minorities. The subhumans here being white, it runs far deeper and is much worse--the MSM basically don't want frightful criminals like these two to be prosecuted and executed. They also don't want people arming themselves to avoid just this fate. A crime like this by two unspeakable, subhuman things that should have been in prison for the rest of their lives just contradicts too much liberal theology to be fully publicized, even when the perps are white.

The other great benefit of the death sentence, even when it's not executed, is that it's probably the closest to a sure fire "life with no parole" that can be achieved because the subhumans are kept on death row appealing until they die natural deaths in prison.

Actually, he is correct and deserves a little slack

The real question for the poor DA in that Liberal cesspool is “Given the sort of jury pool we are likely to get, and the nature of defendents, can we make a Capital Charge stick?”
