Just the latest in shocking news coming out of a town I love, in a state I love. The Volunteer State. Many fine folks up there. But, of course, sprinkled in are the rouges and parasites.
Overnight, a guy murdered 4 people and injured 3. He'd been released early for time served & good behavior. Uh huh. This on the heels of the kindergarten teacher/mom out for her morning jog, abducted and murdered. By a repeat offender. Imagine that.
Our system is broken, and we couldn't act swiftly enough to reform the laws in the cases of crimes against other humans. I remember being opposed to the death penalty. That ship has now sailed. When it comes to the lives that change when people prey upon people, I'm game for some form of painful punishment. Heavy on the pain. And the accused must be guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt. I think an island where the accused are left until time their trial comes would do nicely. Let these pains to society work out their own issues best they can. If we lose some along the way, well...what a shame. I'm so tired of hearing about innocent victims on the daily.
Well, 4:43 PM here in Athens. I just read that Queen Elizabeth has passed away. No matter your feelings about a/the monarchy, she was certainly a phenomenal woman. I don't know much about her, but I know this: she joined the war effort as a mechanic at 18. She used her judgement to save 10,000 children during the Holocaust and had them placed out of harms way. Most would never see their parents again.
Murderers/Saviors. What a day.
Thank you for stopping by.
