DEATH ROW--death penalty in America

[FAHQTOO]

It's really weird HotD. The other person I don't personally know, but he killed his mom and dad (I worked with his dad) and somehow got away with it. He was only 17 and blew them away in their bed before school one morning. A few years later he killed 4 more people, including his brother because he heard them talking about him downstairs.

I worked beside a woman who took her two kids to Disneyworld for one last hurrah and then killed them in the hotel room because she thought her ex was molesting them. She's serving a life sentence in Kissimmee, FL.

I worked with a woman whose son was killed in a love triangle.

I graduated with a girl whose husband killed her and their 3 kids in the basement execution style.

I think that's all.

Jesus, that's a lot. Too many severely screwed up people running around.

I can wrap my head around killing a spouse or an ex or a rival. Though it's fucked up, I understand why it happens. But, it's near impossible for me to comprehend what goes on in people's heads when they decide to kill their own children (especially when they don't take their own lives).

I forgot to mention where he did kill himself after the rest of the family. I can't wrap my brain around killing kids either. My first thoughts are always of whats going through a kids head and the terror of whats happening to them.

The other guy on DR for killing his parents and the other 4 has schizophrenia, so at least there's some explanation for his madness.

The one that's going to die on Wednesday is just plain evil. I can't fucking believe I used to play at his house (never alone). He was creepy as fuck way back then, but we were hanging with his sister and didn't pay much attention to him.
I read an article about him in the local paper where he would put light bulbs in his victims mouths, put tape over their mouth and then punch them and break the bulb. When the detectives asked him why he did that, he said because it amused him. WTF???
