The whole story is nothing but sad. I sure wish the press would give this child her name instead of referring to her strictly as “Bourgeois’ daughter”.
He wasn’t a real father to her, and she was a real person. Why can’t the press refer to her by her name?
And while I’m at it, this waste of space shouldn’t have been commuted to life:
I thought feminists wanted equal treatment under the law. Well, if we’re executing men convicted of killing children, the same sentence should be given to the women.
I don’t agree with the death penalty because I don’t like the state having the power of life and death over its citizens. And the fact that mistakes are made.
But some people deserve to die. Horrifically. This scumbag is one of them. He deserves to be broken on the wheel.
Governments don’t grant rights. Rights are concessions the powerful must give because enough people have taken them that attempts to negate those concessions will be more costly than sanctioning them.
This is why you don’t give the state - any state - power to determine which parts of the body, or memory, or mind, or association it may abridge or terminate.
So there are no rights, just concessions granted by the powerful. So a group powerful enough doesn’t have to give any concessions at all right? And what group is more powerful than the Government?
It’s just a mystery why so many Americans are so adamant about keeping their guns…
