The Ultimate Betrayal

Okay, are you ready to be thoroughly nauseated? Supposedly the vermin who murdered his daughter and her friend in Illinois was angry that his daughter supposedly stole some money from her mother. As the defendant's story goes, his daughter had been grounded, but the mother let her out to play for Mother's Day. He tracked her down and told her to go home, but she refused. He claims, at that point, he punched her and then her friend pulled out a potato knife to defend her. Then he repeatedly punched and stabbed both girls to death and dragged their bodies into the woods, leaving them together. Now, to put this "father's" behavior in perspective: should it really surprise anyone what he was capable of, when he had just been released from jail a month earlier for chasing his neighbors with a chain saw. They finally stopped him in his tracks by hitting him in the head with a shovel. Obviously, it was not hard enough for his daughter's sake. Sounds like a lovely neighborhood, doesn't it?

Okay, enough snide-ness on my part. Does anyone in their right mind not see that this behavior is the sign of someone who is sick beyond belief? To commit this kind of heinous act against anyone, especially one's own child, is a betrayal of the lowliest kind. His actions are so out of step with those of a sane individual, it is clear that the writing is on the wall. Whoever is assigned to represent this scoundrel (and yes, of course you and I, fellow taxpayer, will foot the bill) will be claiming that he is not guilty for reasons of insanity.

P.S.: Keep trying to email Senator Gil Cedillo to fight for the anti-molester legislation. It doesn't look like he's emptied out his email inbox lately, but the email may get through at some point.
