First ask yourself what is the point of vengeance?
We have just had a conviction for a horrific stabbinmg spree of young 
girls by a guy who is clearly off his rocker.

Since he wasn't quiet 18 yrs old he cant have a 'whole life' sentence.

The media are all spinning their moral compasses like roulette wheels in 
an attempt to come up with 'the right punishment'..

I cant help thinking that nothing is going to bring three young girls 
back, not even Jesus, and only three things really count.

The first is making sure he never does it again. Absent the death 
penalty that means sticking him in prison (without special treatment?) 
and waiting for the other prisoners to do him in. This has been done.

The second is trying to work out why a guy with a history of violence 
and mental weirdness who was even reported to the authorities by his OWN 
FAMILY wasn't picked up. sooner.

The final issue, is is there anything that could be done to make the 
families of those children feel even slightly better?

Personally if they want to personally stab him to death I wouldn't give 
a fuck. The guy placed himself beyond societies civilising influences. 
He deserves to understand the implications of that. His victims should 
be allowed to set the sentence as long as they carry it out themselves.

One may have sympathy for the Devil, but that doesn't mean not slicing 
his jugular as an act of societal benefit, if given the chance...
