That little boy was the same age as my son...

My son is now a father of my wonderful grandchildren...

That poor little fellow never got a chance to live out his life...

Exactly.

( Odd how not one in ten thousands supposed “crazy” people wouldn’t run after a lose 100$ bill, or step in front of a bus, or knock over a HA Harley outside a club house at 1 in the morning. )

I hope the police can prove this so the parents may finally know WHO did this. I can’t imagine the nightmares they’ve had.

I agree, there are some crimes that are “Unforgivable” and thus they should be treated as such.

Killing a helpless child in cold blood is such a crime and should be punished as such.

We need to be merciful and make the death of the convicted child killers quick and painless (even though we want to make the SOB suffer, I want wrath as much as the next person, but we are civilized).

I thinking Hanging is quick and pretty painless as when the next snaps they don’t suffer long.

No my friend, this will be to quick, no, while he was with his wife and children, parents of that boy went through something no parents should go through, no that will be too easy.

Conscious of crime is worst then hanging, that innocent boy blood was in front of him, reason why he was always alone, smoking and not talking to anybody.

Lord has His way...no hanging, let him feel the pain, it is up to parents to forgive, as for him....You couldn’t sleep could you, he was in front of your face all time, you waiting so long to say this, while this poor parents were in agony, not changing their number, home, waiting —— cold of blood is not, cold of heart is not — hell from you are. Sadistic, sadistic sadistic Son of the Brocolli!!!!!!!!!

I have no words what how and slowly will torture you, from Mongolian to ancient to modern style of pain, but that will not suffice me, for I Know, Hell is much worst...LORD forgive me, it is that anger.

Merci.

The problem with this is, he is not the first person to have confessed to killing little Etan. That is why it is not enough to convict him. I do hope that he is the killer, as it would finally give some closure to the Parents. However the press is running around acting like he has already been convicted. And until there is actual physical evidence tying this mutt to the crime, it may all come to nothing.
