Cases like this make me wish for cruel and unusual capital punishment...

Wow
-
Argh, that pisses me off. His dad should be shot. *Rages*
-
aww and on fathers day, perfect <3
I just want to know what triggered it, I hope it was something along the lines of him thinking he deserved a better father's day gift than the kid could provide, then this case would be absolutely flawless.

100 years ago this guy wouldn't have seen the inside of the jailhouse on the day of the offense and the cops probably would have stood by and done nothing.
10 gets you 20 this guy gets 50-Life and time served for good behavior.
Having seen where this happened, I used to live in Eufala, so yeah I can guarantee he'd be dead already.

WORCESTER - Seven-year-old Nathaniel Turner had attended church nearly every Sunday in a rural Alabama city where he lived with the grandmother he called Mama.
**** it. I'm not reading any more.
I want facts, not tear-jerking.
-
He brutalized his son for a month culminating with lining the kid's head up against a wall and punching it so hard he dented the wall.

It's lucky we're a bit less Hammurabic these days. Signs of human progress.
This man deserves to spend the rest of his life in jail. And he's going to have to live with what he did. Unless he's a psychopath (very possible) that'll probably destroy him.
-
It's not Hammurabic, bastard woulda been shot dead or beaten to death by an angry mob.
Also, there are some types of killers who deserve life long imprisonment, others deserve nothing less than death. This man deserves the most brutal, painful death we can arrange.
-
Or life. If he dies it's over with (ignoring improbable afterlives, but let's not get into that), while if he lives he has to suffer for years.
-
Oh, that's right, I forgot. The only way to deal with the immoral is to be equally immoral.
Let's just lock him up instead of turning into barbarians, okay? I'm glad I don't live in a country run by Liberators, or I'd feel very dirty.
-
It's easy to get emotional about a 7-year old child, we had a similar case, the 'Baby P' case in the UK, and things got very emotional and vigilante-esque.
Jail will do, it's better to have to live with the crime than die for it, in my opinion.
-
I wish we could deny protection to criminals in prison, like child rapists and murderers. Why can't we just turn a blind eye to some good ole fashioned prison rape and beatings (let's see how YOU like it, freak)? Of course, stop short of killing him, but why shouldn't he get a taste of what he's done, eh?

No, what's immoral is putting this guy on the government nipple for 40k a year for the rest of his miserable life. Caged or not, this particular rabid animal needs to be put down.

Too bad prisons can't just be metal crates stacked on top of each other where we let violent offenders starve to death in the dark. We're too busy imprisoning people for putting things into their bodies the government has decided it's not okay to.

It must be easy to just invoke dispositional conclusions and then ride off into the sunset, mustn't it? In a way I envy you. If only we could all so easily turn people into animals, we'd be less burdened.
-
I didn't turn him into an animal, he did that himself when he brutallized his son and murdered him with his bare hands.
-
There is something wrong though if we have to support prisoners.
What about planet Australia?
-
At some point people will have to realize that understanding why someone does something is not the same as forgiving it.
Make an effort to untangle the man's motivations, understand what happened, forgive him like a good Christian, and then act to prevent such atrocities in the future.
That'd be a better course of action than sinking to his level.
The sad truth is that both you and I (and anyone else) would likely commit similar atrocities if stressed the right way. We all have our breaking points.
-
That's a dream in the current world, it'll take a lot of manpower and willpower to realize that goal.
-
I'll forgive him, then light him on fire and throw him in a pit.(OK, maybe not :ick: )
Everyone is so gods damned concerned for prisoner rights and all that jazz. What about the rights of the victim?
My real question is why are prisons almost like resorts?

Because a large percentage of prisoners did not commit a real crime.

I like my version better

Pretty much.

Because it's wrong, duh.
I thought that's why everyone gets so riled up about cases like this in the first place, no?

American prisons are full of dangerous gangs, I would hardly consider that to be like disneyland.

Let's look at the brochure, shall we?
Oh, back massages with toothbrush shanks. I've got this wicked knot back there that should sort out. Lots of sun and sand in the concrete prison yard. I'll have a tan in no time! Great companionship from fellow guests. Sure, they're neo-nazis, skinheads, and a dozen other assorted gangs, but hey; company's company.
****! This **** sounds awesome! I'm gonna go out and find me someone to shoot. BRB.

Difficult to understand how can you come so angry at a boy to actually do that kind of damage.
Let's just hope it doesn't happen again any time soon.

HEY! I object! Don't offend the poor animals!

I've seen kids do that kind of damage to other kids, but really, as a parent I too have no idea how you can let that kind of anger out on your own offspring.

All right, all right. Non-human animals, as they say in scientific circles.
