Bringing Out The Worst In Me.

It annoys me when a person brings out the worst in me. It does not happen very happen. I did work with someone that did that. Even he, is not in the league of the person that I am writing about. I try not to watch the news anymore, as it can be boring talking about the same thing over and over again.
There has been a person in the news, that no one could ignore or miss. The reality of it sounded like a horror movie. I tried not to get ‘involved’ but when I heard that she did not want to go to court to hear her sentence, she should not have been given that choice! She had been found guilty of her crimes, and therefore, should not have been given that choice not to face the families. Her not been in court, has added more pain to those she has already hurt, she was allowed to hurt them some more.
I, for most of my adult life has been for capital punishment, but only if there is 100% proof. If there is only 99% proof, then in my view, life in jail!
Yesterday she was sentenced to life in jail. At age only thirty-three, that is pretty young, knowing she will never get out alive.
Yesterday everyone was talking about her, for they like me do not think just life in jail is justice, her living in jail does not fit the crimes she committed.
Personally, I think she should be taken to a jail in another part of the world, where they are notoriously known to be BAD! Some jails, are SO bad, it makes life in there no picnic. I have seen Banged Up Abroad, and boy oh boy it is terrible. Also, in that part of the world, she would have to go to court.
On paper she has a good life ahead of her, good food, health check-ups, no bills to pay, a life of comfort and ease. Or so I thought. A friend told me, “That when the other prisoners, find out, what some new prisoners have done, they get a light bulb and shove it up their vagina and kick her there until the bulb is completely smashed to bits!”
Now things like that, and other things, like spit in her food or worse, can make time in jail not so nice and cushy.
The threats and what tomorrow holds can make for sleepless nights, and loss of appetite.
I used to think of corporal punishment as the best option, but then the victim is the one who must then live on with the daily ‘pain.’ In this case or cases, it involved physical damage and death.
I cannot imagine what those parents went through, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, and friends.
The damage she has caused, can not be fixed the deaths she has done, no amount of jail time, in this country or another can rectify it and bring one of them back! It is clear she has no regret, or she would have gone to court.
I wonder what the real count is? She has gone down in history for killing seven babies and damaging, many more.
I suppose now that I have thought about it, life for her does not seem SO rosy now.
