lesson lost

more than 80 years ago, John Steinbeck wrote Of Mice and Men.
it is a story of a man who is  not capable of fitting in with the casual contempt and cruelty of society. finally he goes too far.
his best friend gives him the mercy of a quick death.

today there is no such mercy for Terence Kelly. only revenge.
he will be locked away to suffer.

our society is too cowardly to kill a person who has been labelled as "evil" and as a "monster".

Worse yet. "experts" have identified causes which contributed to his behaviour. And signs that a child was becoming a monster.

Yet there is no suggestion that we should deal with the causes. Before another monster is created.

i have no sympathy for his actions.
but we are diminished by the cruelty of our revenge.

Definitely requires intervention at an early age when unacceptable behaviour is detected. However, it's tough these days because the WOKES get involved .
