"Andrew Brown, 19, was sentenced in the slaying of 69-year-old Darrel Johnson, a Navy submarine veteran and retired port electrician. Brown pleaded guilty in October to first-degree murder in Pierce County Superior Court.

After the judge sentenced Brown, the families began yelling at each other. A melee broke out when one woman complained the sentence was unfairly long, given the victim’s age."
 
Well, I hope that we don’t get to the point where a serious legal argument can be made that it’s less serious to kill old people. (And if they’re old and crippled, well, that’s even less serious.) But, given the fact that human life is no longer considered absolutely inviolable, anything is possible.

That is what I’m finding, anything is possible. It amazes me that this is occuring not just in countries that have lost their way morally but here in the US as well. If it can happen here it certainly is happening on a much greater scale everywhere else. God help us.

I’d say the US has lost it’s way morally.
 
Following their line of reasoning, a convicted abortionist or child killer should be executed forthwith. After all, the victim would have had his entire life ahead of him.
