That's your right. I can't say I know how outraged another person is or isn't. If they say they are, I guess they are.

They should be outraged over this particular incident, I agree.
I'm not arguing that.

Just if folks knew what abortion entailed, I believe there would be a parallel response....
yet it is denied in our psyche, no different than the dehumanization training taking place in the Military...

The Military is required to dehumanize life, otherwise it would create hesitation...however in everyday life...we shouldn't dehumanize anyone's life..

Anyway, I did admittedly hijack the thread.

as you were.

I don't know that I feel outraged, exactly. I don't feel rage over this. More sadness and confusion.

I don't see much value in anger, generally. I think that sometimes people relish anger because it makes violence that much more likely, but then you're really just valuing violence. And even if violence is called for (like say you see a man beating a toddler to death and you have to stop him), anger won't help, it'll just get in the way.

I just read a few "I wanna kill the guy" type of things.
I think, to me anyway that constituted a strong reaction to the article.

The article in the link I posted has a woman explaining that they thought it was dangerous to try to stop the guy and it was obvious that the baby was dead. I honestly think that must be true. I know I would have run into that guy like a freight train.

I too am sorry for this man's death. He needed to be tortured to death, resuscitated, and then tortured to death again.

More people need to get involved and do something when they see wrongdoings. I know that couple may have been old, but too many people just sit by watching and wait for someone else to get involved. I, for one, would have beaten the crap out of that guy. There is no excuse for what he was doing.

He may not face justice, but I'll give you 6-1 odds he doesn't make it thru the Pearly Gates.

I imagine him in a nice hot room, babysitting Satan's spawn for eternity...

then taxpayers would be paying $40,000 to $60,000 a year for him to watch television for the next 40 or 50 years. Just shoot him and get it over with.

I'm sorry but glad he was killed, because these child murderors and abusers always get out t-o-o-o early. They should have shot him in the stomach first, and let him suffer, and then finished him off. That poor child.

My cousin's daughter went through something similar. The father of her baby went crazy one day, literally. He had their baby girl and using a dull kitchen knife was trying to scalp her. The mother was afraid to come closer or do much except scream. That story turned out better because the baby was OK except for scars. The Dad was killed by police.
