No one should have to pass on the way a local Marysville grandmother died recently. To be murdered with a hammer is one of the most gruesome and horrible ways someone can be killed, one step away from being tortured to death.
A grandmother murdered with a hammer. A Brinks guard killed execution-style in the line of duty. Both murders were preplanned, with the alleged perpetrators caught quickly, never showing any signs of remorse.
I don’t believe in any single political platform, conservative or liberal. Most of my opinions on serious, ethical topics fall to the left, but some are on the right and others in-between. Many folks today will believe in something because they’ll follow the mandated political platform, no matter how much their personal belief contradicts the issue.
I believe in the freedom of thought, sound reasoning and common sense. I listen to others’ opinions, but don’t believe what anyone says just because they have a title, a badge or they’re in the media. A good example of one of my opinions that crosses normal political boundaries is capital punishment.
In my opinion, murderers like the ones who killed the grandmother and security guard should be executed in a timely fashion. I don’t care what manner of execution is more humane and I’m sick of the complicated legal system enabling senseless excuses for murderers in victimless, premeditated trials. Maybe the killers’ lives should end in the same way they killed their victims.
