Charged? From the article, it seems like they should be given awards!
The guy beat a 2 year old girl to death, systematically torturing the toddler over six hours. Who does that? Someone who shouldn’t be breathing, even in jail.
I identify as a humanist, and I shouldn’t be saying I support bad people being killed, but if a person is so far gone that they lack any kind of humanity whatsoever… then they don’t qualify. A mere difference in opinion does not qualify that, it’s the act and the choice of doing something that terrible to someone that small and helpless and likely enjoying it that disqualifies the individual from humanity and the sympathy or empathy of humans. Like how we all basically love dogs until one mauls a baby, then that dog has to be put down, because that’s not “Man’s Best Friend,” that’s a predator that is out to do harm and you have to stop it before it does it again.

I agree the bloke is awful, and his actions reprehensible.
But you do get how you’ve, literally, had to dehumanise him to justify your view, yeah?

The guy dehumanised himself by spending 6 hours torturing a toddler to death.
