Outraged

To start this post, first of all an AMEN! that John Couey just received the death penalty for the abduction, rape and burying alive murder of 3rd grader Jessica Lunsford. I won't even go into the injustice of that despicable monster eating up tax payers money while he waits for probably over a decade to be peacefully euthanized after what he did to that child. I just can't. The real injustice though is that it continues to take outrageous cases like this to change laws and get people and, more importantly, law makers to pay attention. Severe sexual predators with 30 year histories of violence and degradation, such as John Couey, should not be allowed out in normal society under ANY circumstances. It doesn't bring Jessica back, but it hopefully sends a message.

Next topic...Lindsey Lohan. I am OUTRAGED that after 7 misdemeanor accounts, drug use and blowing 2 times the legal limit, she received one-day in jail. ONE FREAKING DAY! As one post put it, normal people look at a cop cross-eyed while getting a traffic ticket would probably receive harsher treatment. What is it going to take? Lindsey actually killing someone before law enforcement start actually enforcing that she abide by rules and laws like the rest of us?! I am so sick and TIRED of celebrities continuing to be above the law. Seriously, what will it take? Why do people always have to die before others pay attention?

Michael Vick - Again, whoopdeedo that he pled guilty to dogfighting. The guy is violent and has obvious issues. I hope no matter what, they go after him as evidence allows. But they won't. He pled to dogfighting to get a lower sentence and start his good-service PR campaign. Ugh!

Britney Spears - I am sick to death of hearing about her too. She's a wreck and the fact that she is still in charge of taking care of her children is frightening. It is a sad, sad, sad state of affairs when "K-Fed" looks like the better option. Will someone please help her? I'm especially sad over her because she's about my age and in a sense, I grew up with her in the news. I nannied and babysat for girls that idolized her. Very sad. She just makes me sad.

Ok. I'm done. I hate reading the news. It just makes me mad...and depressed. So much violence. So many awful people continuing to get away with horrible things. Ugh.
