***no hijack intended here****
I lived in the same neighborhood as Andrea Yates. I saw her and Rusty at Albertson's all the time when I worked there as a Front End Manager. When she destroyed her kids it really tore me up.
I thought I was pretty tough. I saw all kinds of death and destruction in Desert Storm. The bloated decaying bodies didnt bother me. Hell I even fired my weapon a few times and I just moved on and left it all be hind me and never looked back. I thought I could stomache anything.
But kids, I am weak on kids. Children and seniors. Those are my heart strings. I get really bent and it tears my heart out when I see children and seniors preyed upon.
Not too much bothers me. But when someone slaughters an innocent child like that I have this rage and I want to be the judge, jury and executioner. I want to do to them what they have done. I want to make them suffer greatly and in much pain so they will know what it was to live before I let them die.
Does this make me no different than the murderer? Is an eye for an eye wrong? Is it barbaric to want to punish someone with the same pain that they have inflicted on others?
Murdered children are a tough pill for me to swallow. My 10 year son is my hero and my 2 year old daughter is my baby. If anything ever happen to them I know I could never recover. I would be lost forever.
