Sparkling Angels

Last night I went to sleep with the news that Killer_Spork, one of the Varus members, had gotten into a car accident, and a rather serious one, for she was in a coma. I woke up at 05:31 am to see if Varus needed me to some moderating, and when I was poking through the topics, I came across the topic which stated that Killer_Spork was in a coma.

She has died.

Her sister was somehow granted permission onto her account, and has made the announcment.

What the hell is it with people around me dying? I prayed for her. Is it because I prayed? I normally don't, and somehow, the few times when I did pray, the people die. Am I cursed? If it hadn't been for me, would Steven's sister Natalie have lived? Would Sporky still be with us today? Is it my fault, Lord?

I know that it seems like a silly thing to think, but I can't help it. I didn't know Sporky extremely well, but I liked her a lot. I'm a prick by nature I tend to dislike people rather than like them right away, and she was one of the few people that I liked right away. I hope that she can rest in peace.

Now, I had a whole big-ass rant planned before I saw the sad news, and I'll continue with it. Personally, if I were dead, I wouldn't want my death to make things come to a halt. I'd want them to continue, and knowing Sporky for the kind of person she was (or seemed to be, at least)
I'm sure she'd feel the same way. She seemed to like things up and moving.

I was reading the news the other day, when I noticed that a Mr. Saddam has gotten the death sentence, as well as his half-brother (or some weird shit like that) and some other high-ranking official. Now, this rant isn't about their death sentence, specifically. It's about the death sentence in general. And one of the people that disagree with it, but probably not for the reasons that one would expect.

I hate how the death sentence takes too fucking long and costs way too much money. And what's this "humane" bullshit? This may be a murderer who raped, tortured, and killed women and men. This may be someone who ran around shooting people for no good reason. This may be someone who kidnapped little children and let them starve to death in their basment. And you want to kill this son of a bitch humanely? What the fuck is wrong with you retards? Just put a bullet in his head, and save yourself some time and money.

And I believe that there is a limit to how many people can be put to death each year. What a crock of shit. And what about people who kill others and get several years. Right. He's sitting there, reading books, watching TV, getting 3 meals a day, a place to sleep, weight lifting, classes, free medical care. Right. That fucker is being punished. Like Hell he is.

Oh, sure, I realize that prisoners get killed by other prisoners, and possibly raped, and stuff. Yeah, that happens. But some of them, not all, deserve it. And a shit load more.

And while I'm bitching about the American "justice" system, I might as well adress another issue. What is this shit about protecting prisoners so that they can get "justice"?. I'll bring up an example. When Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy (I fucking hate Kennedy, but let's not get into that), the police were trying to protect him. This man just shot and killed your president... and you're protecting him. So that he can sit in a prison cell for a while, using the money of tax payers for the various "services" that prisoners get, and then he gets a trial, and then he's back to using up money.

Luckily, Oswald was shot before they could do this mockery of justice to him. And he got his justice. A bullet in the head. I don't need a court full of people I don't know and some over-paid asshole with a black robe and a hammer to tell me what justice is. I'm all for making sure that a crime was committed before any actions taken, as shooting someone in the head is something you can't quite take back... but once you know they did it, just kill them.

None of this "but we're lowering ourselves to his level" bullshit. I don't like it when people die for no reason. I don't like it when anything dies pointlessly. But if some asshole runs around killing a bunch of people, his death isn't pointless. That, my friend, is justice. An eye for an eye! If such killing occurs, the world is already blind.

And I really wish this wasn't so. I do wish that people wouldn't do this, so that we wouldn't need any kind of justice, whether it be true justice or some fucked up mockery. And it grieves me to see the human race like this, but I don't think it can be helped.

And that concludes my rant for now. Again, I'd like to send out my wishes for Sporky's family, and I hope that she can rest in peace.
