39. Yeah, maybe...
People are talking about this and just wanting them to kill the dude, and I have mixed feelings about it for a few reasons:

We don't know what's wrong with this guy, but he's clearly sick. It's such a heinous action that I don't think anyone would really care if he was to die, but at the same time, what kind of punishment is that? I always thought the death penalty was letting them get off easy. Its quick and peaceful most places these days and then its all over. Let him stew for a lifetime in a cell, if you want to punish him.

Its our instinct to want retribution on this guy, but how much taxpayer money does it cost to teach this guy some kind of a lesson that his mind may be incapable of grasping anyways?

I wouldn't miss him anyways. What a sickening story.
