Innocent Until Proven Guilty.

I just can't seem to shake the shock of the Cates Murder in Mont Vernon, NH out of my system.   The "Human Sub Species" Blog post that was entered has been the most heavily hit topic since the beginning of this pathetic Blog.

I also was accused of rushing to judgement, assuming that the four miscreants who are now apprehended are guilty as charged.   Maybe it was because Kimberly Cates, a 40 year old Mom and Nurse,  was hacked to death with a machete and her daughter's throat was slashed with the same implement.

That type of thing tends to piss me off.  All four of the "innocent until proven guilty" are alleged to have taken a whack with the machete.   They have not pleaded "not guilty", a Mom has been horribly murdered, and her 11 year old daughter is scared for life.  Not to mention the ruined lives of her husband, extended family and friends.

CNN notes....
On Tuesday, the state Department of Justice announced the arrests of the four teenagers accused of taking part in the crimes.
Steven Spader, 17, and Christopher Gribble, 19, were charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.
William Marks, 18, and Quinn Glover, 17, were charged with burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary and armed robbery.

Personally, I don't care what their backgrounds are.... I don't care if they are mentally impaired... I don't care what their philosophy, religion, or state of mind is.   I don't care why they did it.

If I were the King of the World, here is how I'd  deal with these Mongrel Bastards.....  I would put each in solitary confinement  and feed them feces and maggots for a month, all the while with the knowledge that they would be hacked to death by a maniac with a machete at any time during the month.   Then I'd pull the most heinous asshole on death row, give him a machete, and tell him that he gets an extra month of life for each time he hacks these mongrels.  Send the Maniac into the cell at an unannouced random time, and send the Mongrels to Hell.   Then I'd wish that these useless sub-humans survived, so that we could repeat it again and again.

But that's just me.  Probably a good thing that I'm not King of the World.

It is hard to shake the mental image of this crime. Harder even to imagine someone will defend these machete-wielding-monsters. But that is our justice system. Perhaps in the 'Kingdom' of New Hampshire where there is a death penalty, justice will be served...

Youse can learn to prosper offa feces and maggots, been down that path myself. Those West Virginny growers of mary jane did not cotton to Shoo Fly and me takin' an interest in botanically analizin they crop. Looked like slavery and, if things went downhill fast, some Deliverance like buggery was in stoh fo us. Needed to keep our strength up in the mean times. Twasn't my cup o' tea, but neither is buggery. It will gets ye by in a pinch. Find myself a free man this day, on account of feces and maggots. The breakfast of survivors.
