Lower Than Lowlife
The bleeding heart moonbattery that has replaced justice in our courtrooms must have gone beyond self-parody, because it just isn't funny anymore.
One recent case that won't have you laughing is that of a 76-year-old Ohio man named Chester Kozlowski, who made the mistake of paying Troy Tenace in cash for some repair work to his chimney. Tenace came back later to get the rest of the old guy's money. He didn't stop at robbery, but cruised right along to murder. Kozlowski was found gagged and strangled. His face had been stomped in with heavy boots.
Naturally, Tenace was sentenced to the death he richly deserves. Also naturally, given the state of our "justice" system, 12 years have passed and he is still alive. Now the Ohio Supreme Court has reversed his death penalty, on the grounds that Tenace grew up amid other sleazeballs and consequently had an unhappy childhood. Oh, and he "expressed remorse."
The childhood that gave Tenace a license to stomp in old men's faces was made horrible because, according to his relatives, his stepfather had sex with his sister, and Tenace himself was supposedly sexually abused by babysitters. He and his siblings were allegedly taught to steal and use drugs by the age of 10.
In the majority opinion, Justice Judith Lanzinger wrote:
Tenace was doomed from the start.
Justice Judy is right about one thing: growing up in an atmosphere of degeneracy certainly won't make you less likely to be a criminal. Murderers tend to be lowlifes, and lowlifes tend to be produced by other lowlifes.
The notion that this mitigates stomping in an old man's face after taking his money goes below degeneracy to absolute moral insanity.

What are the millions of other people who grew up in abused or impoverished circumstances, yet somehow managed to grow up and not stomp old men to death, to make of this?

Just to let you in on a secreat kept for many years until my brothers death row trial I was not having sex with my step father from the time I was 2 years old this man raped me everyday he came in cups and made me drink it he jerked off race horses and made me drink it, I could go on and on and it was from the time I was 2 years old so the next time you comment about (having sex with her step father get your sick storys right because in this case you are so very wrong, by the way where were the police when we needed them, we spent years being sold for money and beaten and mentally abused beyond what most people can handle, yes my brother became what his parents made him, not what he chose to, he always grew up saying he was going to kill, then tell me why did the Albany DA Paul Dwyer let my brother out of jail to become a undercover police agent, when he needed a rehab, to kill 2 people, maybe he shouldn't have a important job like that but I guess you think he is a great guy because he went to school and is a DA well 2 people are dead because of him, and my whole family is suffering, just to let you know I felt like I was doing the death sentence because he became a killer from seeing me being abused all those years I feel like Edward died because of me, my hearth dies everyday because my brother killed that wonderful man and Troy is where he belongs and deserves it but money buys freedom for those who can afford it, maybe if Troy was rich he would be walking free kind of like OJ is. Now where is the justic, and you had better retract what you said about me because it is lies
