As time goes on and as more heinous crimes of these types are committed and go unpunished, eventually we will revert to the Wild West frontier, unfortunately, taking the law into our own hands. Maybe that is why Homeland Security is buying up so much ammo?
I am not advocating taking the law into our own hands but there will be a breaking point where the public demands protection & punishment immediately or they will become a mass of angry mobs, meting out the punsihment the system was too forgiving or soft to do. We will be in a MAD MAX scenario by then...

I must demur with “Chancey wasn’t born evil.”

Unfortunately we are all born evil.

Judeo-Christian theology traces this back to events soon after the creation of mankind. The bible furnishes a few concrete details, and it reads much like a pan-human soul conspiracy to embrace a lie that one could spiritually stand on one’s own apart from God. This realization isn’t just gratuitous guilt-tripping. It is a realization that we have all been saying no to the blessings of God. And saying no to blessings means that what remains is — that’s right — curses. There is no neutral spiritual zone. Doing an attitude turn-around, with the help of God, opens us up to blessings where curses had prevailed in the past.

Still, to fail to recognize the gravity of the situation is to become more lost in evil ourselves. Forget for a moment the specifics of how this might be punished by other sinners on earth — the most fundamental problem is that people act as if there is no God to be accountable to or reconciled with.

As this country moves closer and closer to becoming a third world nation, we will start seeing less justice and more just-us. Then, I suspect we shall see a revival of Vigilance Committees and other vigilante groups. Once more ustice will be swift and yes, probably with a few more mistakes.

As for why these disgusting displays of inhumanity happened, I don’t care. I don’t want to understand these monsters, I want to eliminate them. May they be removed from the gene pool before they have a chance to infect it with their DNA.

Ah, the Van Helsing Doctrine. And I suggest everyone re-read Stoker's incomparable novel, and this time with an eye toward its true meaning, which is the struggle of humanity against evil.

Sorry...how does the writer know that many criminals aren’t born evil? Do you think Jeffrey Dahmer’s parents taught him how to be a cannibal and a mass murderer. The myth that somehow many people aren’t born evil has to be exposed. Yes...some people are born evil. By claiming that being a good person is all societal indoctrination, these scribblers are saying we’re all basically born with blank slates or tabula rasas. That theory has been thoroughly debunked for decades. Society can enact laws that make it tougher for some people to act out their evil impulses, but it can only do so much.

Progressives will tell you the death penalty doesn’t deter crime, and that’s true. It’s also irrelevant.

While as a philosophical matter I agree with the death penalty, do we really want to put that weapon against the criminally accused into the hands of Eric Holder, Angela Corey, Mike Nifong, Eliot Spitzer, Bill Lockyer, Scott Harshbarger, and a number of other rogue prosecutors whose only concern is their conviction rate and their political viability, your innocence be damned?

I will answer that question for you - NO!!
