Eight will get you fifteen

Which will mean about eight again. You try and ignore this stuff for as long as you can, but when a German court rules that a woman who killed eight (maybe nine) of her newborn babies and buried them in flower pots in the garden of her parents’ home got sentenced to sage und schreibe (believe it or not) fifteen whole years of prison (which will break down to about half of that, of course), well, you really do start to wonder if something very strange is maybe not going on here after all. About one year for each baby killed? Not bad.



The latest baby killing the other day is just another in a very long line of recent infant murders which have practically all taken place in Germany’s Wild East. And when the Minister President of Saxony-Anhalt (himself an “Easterner”) suggested that these killings are a bizarre remnant of Communist East Germany’s institutionalized abortion policy, he was called down and booed to order by the politically correct immediately, of course. It looks to me like he may have been on to something, however.

I just don’t get it. I can’t see how anybody’s life in such an affluent society could be that messed up. Or is it the affluence itself that’s behind all of this? Somebody smart explain this to me please.

German justice in action again.

Kommentare auf Deutsch? Logisch.

1 - I saw that last night and thought: sociopath. No feelings for anything that lives, everything done to suit themselves. She should be locked up for good. (Comment this)

2 - I brought back a best of Dragnet dvd set (13 dollars for 25 episodes!) from my USA vacation - most of the murderers were sentenced for first degree murder and end in the gas chamber at San Quentin. It's hard to feel sorry for them. (Comment this)

3 - there's a typo in your comment at the end of the post:

"German justice in action again."

I think you meant:

"German justice inaction again." (Comment this)

4 - What is with the pixelated photo?
Guilty of 8 murders deserves a clear, high-quality photo.

P.S. I would not have posted as Anonymous if your stupid system made it easy to post otherwise.

5 - Dave, yeah, I've brought that up about the user-unfriendly comments with them a few times now, sorry. But I'll tell you why the photos of these people get pixelated and their names only get initialed and all that over here; one has to respect their privacy, see? Their victims' privacy isn't/wasn't all that important, but we certainly don't want to hurt these folks' feelings, get it? Pitiful. (Comment this)
