Another dead little girl, how many more? When will we as a people begin to rise up against this kind of attrocity?   Are we not a civilized country? Isn’t this a reproach? The bible tells us that righteousnss exalts a nation but that sin is a reproach! Have we become so dull and insensitive that we can go about our daily lives and not feel grieved and sick at heart at the abuse being perpetrated on our children by deranged members of our communities who roam our streets looking for easy prey. How did this happen? What will stop it? Questions we should surely be asking as grapple with  the root of such evil. How does a family survive such a horrific incident? How will the siblings of this little girl ever forget the horror of their little sister running from an argument and turning up dead? What do law abiding, compassionate citizens do about such horrors?  Why is law enforcement still only dishing out a preverbial slap on the wrist to such deviants.  When many want to keep debating theories of the effectiveness of retribution, I want swift justice – capital punishment – no less!  There is no other option for the kind of monster that can take an inocent child’s life. Words fail me as I attempt to describe the revultion I feel.  Is there no ground swell of ‘enough’ that can rise up from our midst to insist that these kinds of perpetrators are bannished from our communities forever.
