There is a lot of sad stories like that where the law fails.
I know this is way off topic, even off topic from the whole thief thing, but I guess it must somehow pertain. It was on the news a little while back.
There was this lady that married a man and they had 2 children, 2 boys. All was perfect for them until they realized that their father had a terrible, terrible disease(genetic, I think). I can't remember the name, but it essentially would slowly make his body decay until he was just bedbound and being fed through a tube, all the time while his brain was able to function, but he was soon unable to speak. This continued on until his heart eventually stopped working.
The sons went through all of the horrors of watching their dad die in one of the worst ways possible. However, this disease is passed on through genetics, so it is more likely than not that both boys will get the disease as well in their mid 40s. They talk to their mom and say they don't wanna go through what their dad did and if they do, "kill us".
So skip forward a few decades and the boys start developing the same symptons. They slowly begin to lose their muscle mass and are soon bedridden. The mom holds off for a miracle, but then sneaks into their room with a gun and shoots both of her sons to put them out of their future misery.
Here is this woman who has lost EVERYTHING she has ever had. I don't know how much it takes to kill your own 2 children and I will never know, I just know that woman had it. This woman is now completely alone as the disease has killed her entire family.
Where do we go from here? Murder charges are filed against her. The reason? Police say "it is a slippery slope, if we allow this, who knows what could hapen in the future?"
I hate when people are completely unable to discern the ludicrous from the true.
Blah. :shock:
Maybe i should slam people more often. hahahahah J/K
