- Letter: Glad to hear they are going to fry\
-
In Thursday's Post we ran the story, "10 Slated To Die In 30 Days In Texas Death Row." It featured the faces of the 10 condemned men, and a short bio of each of their crimes (One sexually assaulted an 11-year-old girl before killing her, another raped and murdered a seven-year-old girl, a third killed his girlfriend when he found she had cheated on him; he also killed her nine-year-old son).
Horrible men all, it appears. But I wonder how many readers share this letter-writer's contentment at seeing these men die on the state's electric chair?
Here's the letter:
How gratifying it was to look at each of the 10 faces of the Texans being put to death. It is wonderful to know that they will never have an opportunity to re-offend, and that they will be suitably punished for their heinous crimes. I wonder what their sentences would have been here in Canada, and how long they would actually have served before being set free. Probably five to 10 years? Thank goodness Texas leads the way in a civilized society, more intent on protecting the innocent than the guilty.
