Does anyone else worry that these murders are growing in numbers and violence?

This story in on the News site for KTLA Channel 5 in Los Angeles, along with these Stories: Dad Charged After Disabled Son Found Dead in Cardboard Box, Boy Who Died Locked in Cage Wrote About Wanting His Family to Like Him, Slain Disabled Girl, Zahra Baker, May Have Been Raped.

It does not take a lot of searching to locate this type of very violent act by Fathers, Mothers, Brothers, Boyfriends. It seems that only group I haven't seen recently is Sisters, but at the rate things are spinning out of control it's only a matter of time.


I don't get it, we are in a clearly stressful time economically but the hate that seems to be involved is very troubling at the very least.

Decapitated Boy: Man Accused of Decapitating Disabled Son - ktla.com

THIBODAUX, LA. (KTLA) -- A 30-year old man is behind bars accused of decapitating his disabled 7-year-old son and leaving the boy's head near the street for his mother to find.

According to police, Jeremiah Lee Wright confessed to killing the boy because he was tired of taking care of him.

Family members say Jori Lirette, who suffered from cerebral palsy, was confined to a wheelchair and required a feeding tube.
 
it astonishingly sickens me.. the things humans can sink too..
whip the flesh from his bones before he's publicly hanged.
 
Yeah, **** like this makes me rethink my opposition to the death penalty. That guy deserves to die very slowly and very painfully.
 
I wish they would select me for that jury.

They never will, just because of that attitude. This hits close to home for me and apdst, as we both live in south LA where this happened.

Statistically crime has gone down not increased in the country based on FBI data that is accumulated by police debts reporting....

I think today there are unlimited sources of news and these kinds of murders are more right in everyones face....there were always murders like this...

It's always heartbreaking.

But I doubt they're increasing in frequency - maybe in our society, recently, they seem to be - but on a larger historical scale there are numerous known cases of such murders by parents (etc). . .very common. And for every one documented historical case there are probably numerous ones that no one wrote about.

I use to have several books regarding this very issue - societies in history, in different cultures - respond differently. In some places being shunned from your tribe or clan is a harsh punishment. In others death is opted for. Many feral children are abandoned because they have disorders and so on.

It's like a race agains time - in the dark - to find and save children like this before the worst happens.
 
Life isn't worth anymore, is that the gist of it? We have lost sense of right and wrong, are in a constant moral decline? Its all about "me"?
Look around you. Anything is throw away, from pets to ....people, those who function and those who don't.
Its just the next logical step.
Sad, really to see how far we have come from holding every life dear to this.

Yes the overall crime rates are down, however the violence and rage seem to have gone up dramatically.

BTW you are right about the the number of News outlets we have to choose from. It used to be we would get 30 minutes of Network News and 30 minutes of local News and that included Weather which reudced local News down to just over 20 minutes an evening now we get News 24/7, some good some sucks.

Even amid the movement to accept people for what they are and that people shouldn't change to fit into a societal cookie-cutter form?

No - I think, if we were to have known about every single incident in the past - we'd see an overall decline in acts. It's the 'knowing' that's changed.

I think that a lot of it is that we have access to so much more info than before. I suspect that criminal incidents haven't become as more prevalent as it seems. I think that a fair amount is just that the reporting procedures are better and more easily accessed. So, we record more of these incidents than before and we're more likely to be able to find out about such incidents.

But, I haven't looked at any numbers or anything.
 
I remember back in the early 70's a 11 year old newspaper girl was missing here and the whole town was looking for her. The mayor was on tv asking who ever had her to release her.
Then one day a landlord came by a tenant's house and for some reason entered it and found pictures on the guy's coffee table he took as he cut the girl up.
The anger in this town was like a volcano. It changed how everyone lived. I still hate that guy. And yes, yes, he is still alive in one of the state prisons.

We had murders before but this one was so sick that it changed people here. The killer here in our town should have been given the death penalty. There is no reason for him to be living.
With his initial arrest his parents came out in defense of him stating he had never done anything before. BS, days later the stories came out about him as a teen trying to set a church on fire and his history of tormenting animals. The guy was a POS from the start and so were his parents for trying to defend this pile of manure.
 
Georgia Teen in Custody After Allegedly Killing Great-Grandmother in Sword Attack.

New one every time we turn around there is a new bazaar story of a brutal murder.

Georgia officials say a 14-year-old is in custody after his 77-year-old great-grandmother was stabbed to death with a sword. His grandmother was also wounded in the alleged attack.

Police arrived at the family's home Monday and found the grandmother barricaded inside a room and the great-grandmother on the ground outside, said Douglas County Sheriff Phil Miller.

Authorities said when they arrived, the teen was waving a long sword and had a pellet rifle that he fired, breaking the windows of a patrol car.

Of he did it then I hope he gets the death penalty. If he is in a state that does not have the death penalty or only executes 1 person every few years then I hope he gets prison for the rest of his life and ass raped on a daily basis. That kind of evil deserves the worst kind of punishment.

"Daily ass rape" is a legal punishment in the US? What if he enjoys it? What if he's on top? Would that be different?

The only difference is that we now hear about them and instantaneously to boot. Socrates said it best.

For some people it should be. If he liked it then they could do it with an old broom handle. You know, the ones that have began to splinter.

I strictly believe we must find our own way in life, but living within a society assumes certain respects of each other's personal space and well being. To me, that is a must.

I shake my head at the all too frequent examples of the far right mentality which savours the prospect of male rape and/or torture as a component of the American way of justice.

Quite frankly, if it were up to me, we'd have a way stricter form of justice. What we have now isn't even justice at all. People aren't afraid to break the law. Which is why we have overcrowded prisons and people actually want to rid of the death penalty and then those same people jump on the "prisons are too crowded" bandwagon.

I happen to believe that prison should be a punishment. It is not a hospital to cure people of their criminal behavior that a lot of scumbag sympathizers would have us believe. But idiots insist that these scum should have TVs, air conditioning, weights, libraries and many other luxuries so the only bad thing about prison is what might happen in a episode of OZ. Prison should not be a San Francisco Dormitory on the rough side of town. It should be a prison. As a prison the inmates should work in chain gangs, not have luxuries, not have any freedom to interact with anyone and so on.
 
I just refuse to believe crime rates are down. Down from what and when? Every type of crime? Is it a long term trend or a blip? How is the data being reported? Could it be a lot of crimes are being underreported?
