I confess to being a hypocrite - I consider myself a peaceful person, but I have a young nephew and if anyone ever harmed him I''d be on trial for muder. I don''t buy the abuse defense all the time - I was abused myself badly as a child, and would no more harm a child than cut off my hand. I got a lot of help and therapy so the buck would stop here.

"he wanted to "live out his fantasy" and exact revenge on society for perceived wrongs"

Over and over again we hear how miscreants act on a belief that they have been wronged and therefore ought to seek revenge. From the Columbine killers to this wretch its the same song. The self indulgent mantra which goes 1)I have a right to be happy 2) If I am not happy someone has violated my rights 3)those who violate my rights should pay 4) the payment may morally be exacted thru whatever means are neccessary. And so it not surprising that the degenerate and inferior seek their "revenge" against the normal and the superior when society so often claims that the losers are the victims of the winners.

proisrael;

I hate to tell you this, but there was s/ex offenders back when we were growing up. It just was not talked about as much. And too, we were a much more innocent people back then. And too, there were alot fewer people as well. Apparently, the more people you have, the more chances these freaks have to take advantage of somebody. Pretty sad really

I have to admit that I am guilty of this. I can''''t help but be suspicious when I see a single man with a child. I automatically assume the worst. I know it is terrible but there is just so much ugliness in the world that now we can''''t believe a man can be trusted with a child. Sick and sad.

Yes, it is a sick and sad world that we live in.
And I hate to say this, but I don''t see it getting much better anytime soon.

Comparing pedophile female teachers with this type of crime, merely to try and prove that women can be just as cruel?
Not even in the same galaxy...
Name ONE woman who has ever abducted a child, tortured them, sexually abused them, and then burned their body.
Didn''t think so.

This creature, because i hesitate to call anything that acts with this kind of intent a man, or a person, should be tortured like he tortured these children before killing one of them and leaving the other with scars that will last a lifetime or longer. He needs to be stripped of his humanity and degraded to the point where he will beg for death and then we will tell him NO! and through him to the wolves in Prison. Even convicts Kill Child Rapists and Child Killers. Any being that has hurt a child is on the kill list in Prison, I HOPE and PRAY that the convicts get this sorry sack of filth.
