My friend opinionated that the wife-beater should have received counselling and should not have been sent to prison. I can see his point of view. Perhaps he should have received more counselling or getting psy treatment. But at the end of the day - the law should protect the weak and defend their rights. For example - in Australia - there's a serial child rapist - known as Mr Baldly. He's committed a number of henious crimes. Occasionally he gets caught - put in jail - sent for counselling - then he is released and reoffends again and again. IIRC, he claims to be totally innocent and has done no wrong.
If I was king of the land- I'd have tar and feathered the fucker before impaling him in public after his 1st or 2nd offense. My friend is very glad I am not king.
We are living in a fallen world. There are evil men out there. If society, if the govt does not punish them - then who else will? In the Bible - it is written :
Romans 13:3-4 (New International Version)
3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
The Govt is supposed to be there to protect us. It is not there to turn the other cheek. It is not there to show compassion to a child rapist or murderer. It is not there to hold hands or negotiate with terrorist or rioters.
But in today's crazy world - esp. in the Western World - the Govts are weak on crime. Instead of carrying a sword to punish the evil doers - they carry "Hug Me" badges. And it seems to be a society where there is no sense of personal responsibility, sense of shame, or honor.
Today, bankers who bankrupt their company and ruin the lives of their shareholders - walk away with multi-million dollar handshakes. In the past, they would gone into a room and hung themselves. In today's society the same bankers can later start a new life and begin afresh - with no restitution to the pensioners they ruined.
And I read about this - in Austria - a father imprisoned his daughter for 24 years and raped her - fathering 7 children.
The mayor of the town, instead of cowering in his office in shame - is out on the street - beaming like a fuckwit and boasting that
"Sankt Poelten (the rapist's town) has never been in the spotlight like this before, and I hope to use this opportunity to make good contacts with the media for the future."
@#$%!!!!! WTF??? WTF????!!!!!! Goddamn it. Who the hell elected the idiot - the reincarnated citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah???
The rapist defended himself - "I had a very difficult childhood," Fritzl told the court. "My mother didn't want me. I was beaten." His attorney, Rudolf Mayer, added that a "man who put so much effort into keeping two families cannot be called a monster," urging the jurors to "keep emotion out of this.
His shrink wants us to believe that his difficult childhood made him the person that he is. He's just as much a victim as the victim.
The shrink is a person in need of a good beating.
Fritzl is expected to be sentenced to at least 15 years in prison, but he will most likely be sent to an institution for the criminally insane, where he will probably spend the rest of his life receiving therapy and counseling, in circumstances far more comfortable than those of high-security prisons normally reserved for repeat sex offenders. And then, as Stadler hopes, the press pack will remember Sankt Poelten for its pear brandy and its wine, and its new nightclubs and gourmet restaurants.
That's all folks! No one is to blame here. Look away now.We're living in a world that wants to divorce cause and effect, a world with no consequences, a world of false tolerance and compassion. It won't work.
Modern Society is a fragile thing. A lot of it depends upon trust. The Trust and Kindness of Strangers. In the past, we used to depend upon the help of the Village, the Clan, the Family etc.. In today's modern society, that support is gone.
The Guardian that holds the society together is the Government whom we the citizens elect. If the Govt., the Judiciary, the Police do not fulfill that vital function - what else is there except a call for anarchy?
Its interesting that the Govt seeks to remove weapons and other means of defense that law abiding citizens can draw upon. But if the law does not serve the public, if it does not protect even women and children - who does it serve? And whats there to stop normally law abidding citizens from taking the law into their own hands?
