A TAD INTROSPECTIVE--2006

Okay!, okay! Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I'm now going to voice mine. What has set me off is the loud vocal rantings by others that executing a 76 year old man is cruel and unusual punishment; that the shooting of an 14 year old boy (who was found to be unarmed) could have been prevented and that Tookie Williams execution would serve no useful purpose. To all of this I say, bullshit! Had any of these three miscreants initially been acting as good "soldiers" and in harmony with their various communities they wouldn't have landed in the positions they had to come face to face with. For example, the eight grader, 14 year older...how can any of the goody goody two shoers look anyone in the face and claim its alright to brandish what looked like a gun and threaten shooting ANYONE much less police officers. Why didn't this (poor misunderstood, wasn't a bad kid) sweet angel elect to go home after school and eat cookies and milk and later on that day tell his dad about school that day? Instead, what was he doing pulling out something gunlike in appearance and threatening to use it. It is claimed that he was suicidal so whats all the clamor about, he got what he wanted, he got shot and is now UNABLE to threaten pain and suffering to anyone ever AGAIN. Fourteen years old and what did he know about life and its many winding legs along the way.

For all of you who think the about mentioned parties got a raw deal in life, I'll tell you about those who we should cry and pray for and give thanks that they did not kill anyone, try to kill anyone, threaten anyone and were GOOD souls in the communities they were apart of: MY MOTHER (90 yrs old) and twelve (12) W.VA miners. They most likely weren't ready to die either and I mourn them but not those MISCREANTS!!
