I disagree. I think the world has changed to a large degree.
Years ago, behavior of this sort would result in swift and certain punishment. Today, however, regardless of the heinous nature of the crime, the perpetrator will live for at least another ten or fifteen years, costing society hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay the expenses of incarceration. Not to mention, society often pays the cost of his legal appeals.
I’m not saying we should drag him out and lynch him without a trial. He should be given a very fair and very thorough trial and, if the court imposes the death penalty, the appeal process should be limited and quick.
Then he should be fried like a piece of bacon.
Another way in which the world has changed is that upon his execution we wouldn’t have had candlelight vigils near the prison with people decrying the death penalty as publicly sanctioned murder and rationalizing the perpetrator’s behavior as stemming from an abused childhood or some sexual disability or other silly excuse.
Certainly, evil has always existed among humans and always will. However, current society doesn’t seem as vigilant in protecting itself from it.
