a couple of weeks ago 2 little boys were beaten at a park. it was in a new subdivision so the park was part of the subdivision... turns out a guy who lived in the subdivision followed them to the park with the baseball bat and he beat them in the face and head with it. The police arrested him within hours. he was just recently released from a mental facility with schitzophrenia (not sure how that is spelled...) ...very sad... both boys died the day after christmas.
my response was that "an eye for an eye" justice sounded just about right in this case. this man has 2 children the same age as these boys he beat to death.
also turns out he had threatened another little boy the week before the beatings but the kid was too afraid to tell anyone and didn't think anyone would believe him.
the reason the guy was caught was because one of the neighbors had a surveillance camera set up and it caught him following the boys... =[
they were 7 and 10 years old.
