Murder.

Murder is something that just happens. There's no way of stopping all of it. It happens. It's not something that's always considered right, but it happens all the time no matter what people think. Someone could just snap and murder someone, they may not want to, they may feel bad afterwards, they may be completely unaware of what they did. But they did it, and there's no changing that. There's no changing the fact that a fellow human being suffered and died at their hands... Which means they have to be punished, by law and morality. Because what they did was morally wrong. Because families are grieving the loss of a mother, daughter, father, son, aunt, uncle, cousin, grandfather, grandmother, whatever else. Because friends are grieving. Lovers are grieving. The murderer may not like what they did, the murderer may wish they never did it. But they may be afraid of what would happen to them if they gave themselves up, of what they'd be charged with. They may be thinking what they did was right and that what they did was acceptable, these people are classed as insane. The word 'insane' implies you do not understand the difference between 'right' and 'wrong'. Which leads me on to say, in the Seventies there was a murderer nicknamed the 'Vampire'. Three guesses what he did?
He murdered little children and drank their blood. Now, you're thinking this is depicable, this is disgusting, this is wrong. Yet I haven't even told you the full story. This man was a paranoid schizophrenic, he thought that drinking the blood would be therapeutic and help him with his 'condition', he thought what he was doing was acceptable. Unfortunately for him, the judges viewed him as completely sane and he was sentenced to death for first degree murder, housed at condemned row. He commited suicide in 1980 before his execution. This man was delusional and afraid, he described himself as 'a good person but a little wrong in the head and heart'. He wasn't given any help to stop the psychopathic tendencies and was sentenced to death for 'horrendous, brutal, murder'. He didn't hide what he did, he didn't seem to think it was bad what he was doing. He walked around covered in blood and entered people's back gardens. He talked about people out to get him, he talked about the Italians, and the Nazis. When he was younger, he once knocked on the door of his home, and when his mother answered to see him holding a dead cat and covered in blood she did nothing. She didn't tell him it was wrong to murder. If you're torturing animals at such a young age then you are basically learning that it is fine to kill, you are becoming desensitised to the feeling of guilt that a living creature has suffered and died at your hands. He was clearly delusional and not given any help, that is what I think is wrong. The fact that he killed is wrong, but the fact that he couldn't help himself and wasn't given help is wrong. There are those who need help, who feel guilty afterwards and should be offered help, and there are just plain cold-blooded murderers. The one's that need help would deny what they did, they'd feel guilty and want to forget about it, they wouldn't want to be aware of what they did. There are some who don't even know they murder, they go into a trance and murder, they wake up and hear about it on the news, a thought goes through their head "Huh, now that's just disgusting, who would do such a thing?" , evidence points in their direction, they don't know why, they assume they're being framed...
I'm not the smartest person alive. Hell, I'm not even smart. But sometimes I really do think the judges are absolute idiots. It's not my place to say that, I know it isn't. I am not complaining about the justice system. But I do see the death sentence as murder. I do think it could be much better. That's not me suggesting that I would think a better one up, because I wouldn't. I'm not smart enough. I'm not smart at all, but the people who get these qualifications are smart and surely should be able to think a better justice system up? People who are not even guilty have been punished for crimes they did not commit... Closing the case and leaving the real criminal a free person. This, I'm not happy with. I am simply asking you to think of how many other people have been convicted of crimes they didn't commit, and who else who has a mental disorder has been denied help and given a death sentence or such?
Think about that.
Now, to make this blog post incomplete I need to post a picture because this post is long and I doubt you read it all and are really depressed now if you have.

Oh wait, that's not... Appropriate... Crap, I don't know how to get rid of it... *Sigh* What a way to ruin a half-decent blog post, Narfi...
