While I have not seen the Netflix drama you are discussing I have spent 30 years arresting and later babysitting felons, both male and female, who have done similar heinous crimes toward children, the elderly and just plain the rest of us. The do-gooders in our society often forget the pain and suffering by the victims while looking for ways to forgive and explain away the disgusting actions of the felons.

Civilians have no idea of the evil in the world and usually just go merrily through life thinking all is well IF it is well for them. Perhaps that is the way it should be.

One of the convicts I worked with on Colorado’s Death Row and the last one put to death dragged his execution out for years claiming he was abused. Look up Gary Davis and his wife, Rebecca Davis. He and I spoke many times During the years I worked with him. We got along well because he and I both served in the USMC. He was an alcoholic and according to his wife, I worked with her also, when he drank he was abusive. She said he would turn on an iron and press it against her skin.

Both were in prison because they were celebrating his getting off of parole. They drove to Eastern Colorado where they tortured and killed a ranch woman. Rebecca testified against her husband and received a sentence of life in prison. Gary was sentenced to death.

While many people look upon convicts being put to death having been in that environment for over 20 years I guarantee each one truly earned that sentence. Gary Davis and another death row convict asked one day if I would personally be willing to pull the switch. Without hesitation I said I would be happy to do it. Both told me they knew I would say that. It is easy to think of someone behind bars as the victim. But consider that right here on UHH there are most likely numerous victims of child abuse and some child molestatation as well as other mental health causing problems. They somehow are able to have gone through life without killing people or becoming criminals.

I took your reply to mean that some accommodation might be made because these little tykes were abused as children. Yes some were. But my point is many kids are horribly abused and yet grow up to not kill others or commit other crimes. “Some people just need killing”, is a law enforcement term I was acquainted with from the USMC and others in my family were in law enforcement. There are people around us every day that if permissible when they next kill or rape someone or other criminal activity, they should be taken to an area where will be SSB’d, Shoot, Shovel, Bury.
