Homeless Bashing
You know, it's rare that I get angry enough to be vengeful. I don't believe in an eye for an eye under any circumstance in practice... but in thought is another matter.
Most recent case in point: those three sons of bitches who went on a "beating spree" last Thursday (January 12th) brutally assaulting two homeless men with baseball bats and killing a third. I'm not fond of "big brother" security cameras scanning every inch of public space, but in this case I was so glad those motherfuckers were caught on tape attacking one of those men. The tape led to their arrests.
I was so fumed when I saw the video of the beating on the news that I wanted each of those teens to live through a bat attack and experience the pain and fright they inflicted on others. I wanted them to suffer through the most agonizing pain.
What kind of human beings do that shit? The homeless dude on the tape was totally defenseless, outnumbered, and I can only imagine how scared. One minute he's sleeping on a bench, the next he's literally fighting for his life.
My cooler head has prevailed since I first saw the tape and I'll now reasonably settle for seeing the three suspects spend their entire lives in prison if convicted of these crimes, as I'm sure they will be.
"Hooks and Daugherty face murder charges in the death of Norris Gaynor, 45, and aggravated battery charges in the videotaped beating of Jacques Pierre, 58. They are also suspects in the beating of Raymond Perez, 49. All occurred early Thursday."
"A third suspect is scheduled to appear in Broward County court today for his alleged role in the beating of homeless men. Eighteen-year-old William Ammons is charged with aggravated battery causing bodily harm or disability."
"Man's destructive hand spares nothing that lives; he kills to feed himself, he kills to clothe himself, he kills to adorn himself, he kills to attack, he kills to defend himself, he kills to instruct himself, he kills to amuse himself, he kills for the sake of killing." -Josef de Maistre
