We have over 8 billion people on the planet. People die every day - in accidents, homicides, from disease, from starvation, torture, wars, etc. Most of them are 'innocent', i.e., they're in the wrong place, wrong time - victims of circumstance
We send the cream of our youth to kill and die in orchestrated wars. Our clergy, politicians, populace describe them as 'heroes'. Our troops do not know those they kill, maim and torture, nor do they know those who kill and maim them. When our troops are returned to our shores in body-bags, we again describe them as heroes and our clergy, politicians and populace give them a hero's burial - yet in many instances they have killed, raped and robbed children and innocent civilians who've done them no personal harm. So I'm not going to get all sanctimonious and sentimental about the possible death of a useless creature who is so stiff-necked and arrogant that she has put her State to great expense, rather than simply state how her own daughter came to be tossed in garbage bags at a trash site -- someone so brazen and uncaring as to watch her family being crushed and vilified, rather than jeopardize her own chance for future liberty/freedom
The Anthony creature had 31 days in which to tell the police and her parents that her own small child was dead. She said nothing. She went partying, thieving and shopping
She's had 3 years in which to tell her lawyers and the world at large what happened to her daughter. Instead, she's fought for her life by remaining silent, hoping that by concealing the facts and the truth, she'd be able to go back to her pointless, shallow existence
Right now, as I type this, infants in the Congo are being raped by human animals -- others are being slashed to pieces -- others are being forced to witness the slaughter of their parents and siblings. Where are the bleeding hearts in their case ? Where are those who're opposed to the death penalty in their cases ?
Today, tens of thousands will die, around this planet. Most of them will die in agony. They certainly won't dominate Western news. There will be no talking-heads earning a living defending their rights, no impassioned testimonies or closing statements and no book or movie deals, no candles of any colour being lit for them, no sparkly photographs online, no agonising about their deaths
If the worthless imo Casey Anthony is put to death, she'll be just another statistic as far as I'm concerned. I don't want to hear the done-to-death wail of, ' It's better to let nine guilty go free than see one innocent person executed '. Casey Anthony has had 31 days followed by 3 years in which to drop the arrogance and tell the world the truth. She's refused to do so. She was the last to see her daughter alive and everything points to her being her daughter's murderer. She's refused to exonerate herself or plead her case. Instead, she's relied on sleazy lawyers to rant and spin in the belief the public will buy the rubbish lies she's told from the outset. She's busied herself with tying knots in her clothing and posturing before banks of cameras. Ok - kill her. Get her out of my face. I'm long past caring about her story - her ever-changing tale. It's her choice to die if she's innocent. Her chances to tell the truth have expired. Just get rid of her. There are far more worthy individuals -- millions of them -- who are far more deserving of public attention, sympathy, understanding and mercy. Where's THEIR day in court and before the cameras ? Where's the concern for THEIR rights ?
The hypocrisy disgusts me
