Time To Kill

His brain can't function adequately because his fiberal bleeding heart can't pump enough blood to it.

For the second time in less than a week, CommieTommie Harkin takes to the press to support criminal wrongdoers.

Last week he was morose over the inability of felons to automatically regain their voting rights (Hopelessly Devoted To You).

Now Harkin's heart spills out for convicted murderers.

Harkin: Branstad made wrong decision on juvenile killers

CommieTommie's heartstrings pluck, “Hopefully civilization is progressing to the point where we understand that sometimes kids do impetuous things. Sometimes they get caught up in things.”

Not so much for the victims or their families --

Harkin said he recognizes that the human reaction to a heinous crime is to seek retribution, and he would initially feel the same way. But as he has gotten older he said he has gotten away from the idea of retribution as a means of justice.

“One family and one life has been ruined. What about the families of some of these kids” who have committed crimes of murder?” Harkin asked. “Maybe they tried their best to raise the kid and something went wrong. Maybe they made a mistake. You have to think about them too. The old thing about why ruin two lives? One life, one family, has already been ruined.”

These killers need to sit and rot, like the bodies of those they murdered and the scientific community is united in that fact.

If this happened in my family, it would take extreme willpower not to go all biblical eye for an eye on their ass and extract at least a pound of flesh.
