Don't feel like your alone. The same kind of things happen all over. Sometimes it makes me think about a story someone told me about a child molester that was caught red handed in Columbia, SC some time in the 1960's. The gentlemen of the town took the perpetrator for a walk in the woods. Found a shack, brought in a log, nailed his member to the log and set the shack on fire. The thing is, everyone in the town knew about it, even the law. The explanation I got was that no one wanted to embarrass the family or the little girl, and since he was caught in the act, well, they just took care of it. Funny thing is, that it was a looooong time before someone else was even charged with molestation.

Vigilante justice is usually not the right answer, but sometimes when I read or listen to the news about this kind of thing, I change my mind. We as a society spend so much time worrying about the criminals rights and feelings that we seem to forget there is a reason they are in trouble. I have been watching documentaries on prisons and it's almost like a badge of honor for these guys. Perhaps, if their asses were kicked right before their necks were stretched, the rest of 'em might settle down a bit.

At least make 'em work 12 hours a day turning big rocks into little ones. The 13th Amendment to the Constitution SPECIFICALLY allows this, as long as they have been convicted of a crime.

I know I sound like a nut job right now, but this kind of thing really pisses me off.
