A Hot Circle of Hell Awaits...

This was a hard article for me this morning. Yesterday was my son’s first birthday. I find it hard to imagine anyone wanting to hurt someone who is so innocent. Not to mention has no way of fighting back.

I know this is out of California, and that is another world compared to the rest of the U.S.. However, I know that this is probably less of a crime in California than let’s say, killing some speckled, two-tone, yellow tongued Lizard. Or maybe leaning up against some old tree, picking a sacred flower.

In commenting on this I don’t want to come across as calloused or cold-hearted. In fact, I just want to point out the stupidity of those that hold anything else on this earth on an equal or greater plane than human life.

I will list the article and let you read it for yourself. Of course, with my comments added.

This article comes from Mercury News.com .

Officer kills man who beat toddler to death
WITNESSES COULDN'T STOP ROADSIDE ATTACK
(This is the title. But my thought is ... why not? Did they really try hard?)

As eyewitnesses watched in horror, a 27-year-old Turlock man punched and stomped a toddler to death on a darkened country road Saturday night in Stanislaus County before a police officer shot and killed the attacker.

This is exactly why the people of the USA are SHEEP. They WATCHED. I don't care what I would have had to do to this man (assuming I got there in time, and from the article some of these people did) he would have NOT killed that child. Me going to jail is worth that child's life.

Eyewitnesses tried to stop the man, who swung and slammed the child into the asphalt behind his parked four-door Toyota pickup.

AGAIN let me ask ... how hard? Wasn't it not too long ago when a man was hit by a car and then people just drove by him and did nothing? Again let me ask... did they really TRY ? TRY.... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? We are doomed as a people if we have become so narcissistic that people just TRY to save a 1-2 year old child from an adult. If I had to get out and papercut the man to death from the insurace cards in my glove box (Here I have a gun, but they were in California) I would have done it. There is a quote that they would have done well to listen to..... "Sometimes your best is not good enough. Sometimes you have to do what is required."

Let's move on before my head EXPLODES...

Investigators spent Father's Day trying to understand and cope with the savage attack on Bradbury Road, 10 miles west of Turlock near cow pastures and dairy farms.

The boy's beating left police and rescue workers badly shaken, said Deputy Royjindar Singh. "Why would somebody do this?" Singh said.

"In the shadows and light it looked like he had hit an animal," said Dan Robinson, chief of the Crows Landing Volunteer Fire Department, who came upon the chaos driving home from a late dinner in Turlock, in an interview with the Modesto Bee. "As we backed up again, I could see that he had blood on his arms. I could see that it was a small child."

Robinson jumped from his vehicle and confronted the man, who lunged at him. Robinson said the man wasn't screaming and wasn't loud, but was forceful, saying "demons" were in the boy.

"Give me the knife. Give me the knife," the man said as he grabbed for a pen in the fireman's front pocket.

"There was a total hollowness in his eyes," Robinson said, "like I could see right through to the back of his head."

"confronted"... ? Does this mean the same as TRY?

An elderly couple was first on the scene, calling 911 about 10:15 p.m. to describe the terror unfolding before their eyes.

The man ripped the child out of a car seat in the back of a pickup truck, threw him to the ground and kicked and stomped him against the pavement, witnesses told deputies. At least three people yelled at the man and attempted to pull him off the boy, but were brushed back by the attacker.

This is what is wrong with us, in our society. We call someone else to do something for us instead of doing it for ourselves. Now I understand that they were an elderly couple, and I get that... But my grandfather, until the day he died would have gotten out the tire iron and went after him... there would have not have been any ... TRY.... And the "brushed back"... what the hell does that mean? Does this mean they "gave it the ol' college try" that resulted in nothing. You know but its ok... no one is a looser here.... OH, WAIT... the child, DIED.

Coroner's deputies believe they know the boy's name, but "due to the severity of his injuries making a visual identification is nearly impossible," Singh said.

Now what could this child have done that deserved this? What is going to come of this? Will this action wake anyone up? Nope, no polar bears or baby seals are involved, and so therefore it isn't important.

They were also trying to establish the connection between the attacker and the boy. Authorities were attempting to contact family members on Sunday, but Singh said many live out of the area.

A Stanislaus County sheriff's helicopter flying in the area on another matter arrived about six minutes after the initial 911 call.

You know there is another quote... this time from ... let's see someone people should know.... it was George Washington... You remember Ol' George.

"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the
people's liberty teeth (and) keystone... the rifle and the pistol are equally indispensable... more than 99% of them [guns] by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference [crime]. When firearms go, all goes, we need them every hour." (Address to 1st session of Congress)

Wonder what he meant by "every hour"? I don't when I read stories like this.

Officers in the helicopter could see the man beating a child on the road.

So did the people "watching" and "trying" to help.

Because patrol deputies were still several minutes away, they decided to land in a field near the man's vehicle, Singh said.

The helicopter's tactical flight officer, a Modesto police officer, ran toward the suspect with his gun drawn, but he was unable to reach the roadway because of an electric and barbed wire fence, Singh said.

I think I could get through this "obsticle" if it was important to me to do so. Don't you think? But this guy took action that was effective so I can't complain about him. Even though he showed up too late to save the child's life, he did ACT on the situation that confronted him. And he DID what was required.

"When the flight officer first contacted the suspect and tried to get him to stop, the infant was on the ground and the suspect was kicking and stomping the child," Singh said. "The officer demanded that the man stop, but he just continued his assault."

The officer, who has not been identified, then shot the man, who was pronounced dead at the scene. The toddler was taken to Emanuel Medical Center in Turlock, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

In keeping with the spirit of California, to blame everyone else whose fault it is not. Why don't we round up the people that just stood around and watched... and put them on trial for accessories to murder. Would that be fair? Wait life isn't fair... No...You don't say.

"Some of the key questions we're trying to answer is why this happened?" Singh said. "What was going on before the suspect left? Where was he going? Where had he been? What was going on in his life that day?"

A child was beat beyond recognition and these people are trying to find out the important question of ... "was this guy sad". I seriously think my head will explode. Why... Why...? BECAUSE THIS MAN WAS EVIL, AND HE HAD MURDER IN HIS HEART. P p p p p problem solved. Does it really mattered where he was going, or had been or what was "going on in his life"? He is a MURDERER plain and simple. There is no puzzle to solve here. I am sure we need to find out if he was hugged too much or was teased in school...

Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson sent department employees an e-mail Sunday offering assistance to any staff member affected by the incident, Singh said.

"It does hit home, especially for the deputies with children and those officers in the helicopter that attempted to save the boy's life," he said. "This is one of the more violent scenes they've ever seen. It involves a victim who is defenseless and helpless. And it's Father's Day."

Well... here is the definition of compassion... we send an email to people and give them info on "assistance for the staff people affected by the incident". Now if someone at "one of the more violent scenes" would have done what was "required" instead of just "trying". Maybe no one would need "assistance" except for the MURDERER. And why does it matter that it is father's day? Would this be less horrific if it was just another Tuesday?

Nurse Isabelle Thomas, who lives a few hundred yards from the scene, was working at Emanuel Medical Center when her son called her with word something bad had happened. Soon she heard of the little boy who died 500 yards from her front door.

"I couldn't go to sleep," she said. "I couldn't rest without seeing it and all that blood. I couldn't believe all that blood."

Now in my house there are any number of HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of items that could be used as a weapon. In my car there are much less. BUT... I am sure that this house had at least a Louisville slugger. ... Problem solved. Had no one there watched Wrestling on TV or the UFC... anyone ever hear of a clothesline or a chokehold... those do actually work... problem solved Or maybe a shotgun... again problem solved. Or maybe there was a big stick that was just laying around, or a big rock, or a can of peas would be ok to crack this MURDERER, in the head... problem solved. I have a belt... that can be taken off and you could have hit this guy in the head with a belt buckle... again problem solved.

So am I to belive that these people really TRIED? Now I wasn't there and can't tell EXACTLY what happened. But there are very few things that really light my fuse... and this is one of them.

I can't stand it when I see someone hurting someone that is much weaker than themselves. I would get involved. And by involved I don't mean call someone else and let them take too much time in getting here and doing something.

The liberals love to tell you how to defend yourself, or the people around you. They love to say "call the cops" because it isn't our place to be responsible for our own destiny. We are like sheep to the slaughter.

This guy got what he deserved, and saved the taxpayers alot of money in the process. The cop should be given a medal and a raise. And those that "tried" to help, should be ashamed of themselves. Not to mention they need to be put in jail, or be made to register on the sex offenders list as ... child endangerers.

Would you have done what was necessary, or would you have just tried?
