Baby thrown into lake in plastic bag survives. Mom is charged with throwing the baby into the lake. Denies the charge saying she gave the baby to some
homeless people because
she didn't have the money to raise it.

Wow. There are not a whole lot of things I think deserve the death penalty, but putting a baby in a plastic bag is one of them.

You were put into a plastic bag and thrown into a river as a child?

This is why we need laws restricting who's aloud to have kids.

I'd agree with that if I was one of the people whom would set the qualifications. Unfortunately if such a scheme were put into place it would undoubtedly be run by the goverment, which is just terrifying.
I
do think that people convicted of child abuse (or rape) need to be sterilized for the good of humanity.

That was the treatment reserved for pedophiles and rapists in the Third Reich: sterilizing them will not prevent them from abusing others, it will only assure they will not have children. The same was done to 'criminals, idiot, imbeciles', and homosexuals, gypsies, Hebrews, and everyone else who was considered unworthy.
They did it to obtain a purer race; why do you think it will do any good?

I haven't lost any faith in humanity by this event. I've been tapped out since 1998.

Yes, but castrating people viciously with dull implements can be a relaxing form of entertainment.

Seriously, that's messed up.

Damn poodles. I'd really like to ask why the poodle freely ran up to him. More people should kick small dogs that get in their way.
