You wonder why I have a bleak view of my fellow man and think that most people are wastes of oxygen?
Have a look at this story.
The opening two paragraphs:
Ulysses Handy III walked into court smirking Wednesday morning, and remained smug as he proclaimed himself “guilty as charged” of three aggravated first-degree murder and two assaults.
He smiled. He laughed as victim’s families said they hoped he’d be killed in prison. He told the families, “Pain is part of life. Deal with it, get over it.”
I haven't made any secret of the fact that I think there are plenty of people on this world that just need to be removed from the gene pool before they contaminate the rest of the world. The article doesn't mention if this asshole has any kids, but it does say he has a fiancee; let's hope for the sake of the human race that he hasn't knocked her up before he starts serving out the rest of his life in prison.
That's right -- he's been given life in prison without parole. Because of Handy's plea bargain, the prosecutor in this case agreed not to seek the death penalty.
On the one hand, I see this as a just punishment, because death would be a quick and easy way out for this sonofabitch. Throwing him in the clink and saying "sorry, you're never going to get out" is a way to make sure the rest of his days on this earth will be a long grey hell with nothing to look forward to and no happiness. On the other hand, it means OUR taxpayer money is going to go to supporting this fucker for the rest of his life, and that is just so many flavors of wrong.
Who's to blame on this one? As with so many other issues of criminal behavior, I'd say the finger of blame points directly at his parents. His mother burst into big crocodile tears at the hearing and tried claiming that he was brought up a good Catholic and that he wasn't raised this way. I call bullshit on that. He's only 24 years old but has ALREADY spent eight years in prison for hitting someone over the head with a baseball bat. When he gets out, he commits multiple assaults -- shooting someone in the stomach in October, shooting a man who had the audacity to beep his car horn at him, and winding up with this multiple murder and a robbery of the same house where the murders were committed. Does that sound like a well-brought-up Catholic boy to you? It sure as hell doesn't to me.
My parents brought me up right. They taught me that hurting other people is wrong, that picking on those weaker than you is wrong, that TV and movie violence is not the way things work in real life, that you just don't go around hitting (or in this case, SHOOTING) anyone who disagrees with you or annoys you. I have some anger management issues, yes, but I haven't been in an actual physical fight in decades and I have no interest in owning guns. I don't think the "thug" lifestyle is glamorous, I think it's stupid. This idiot would do well to remember that. Oh wait -- it's too late for that now, because he KILLED three people and is now going to spend the rest of his miserable life rotting in prison.
Where he will hopefully be made into someone's bitch and be made to scream like a little girl. Times like this I wish I had some faith in karma, because if karma exists, it's going to dump a MOUNTAIN of payback on this fucker.
