Who Would Liz Smith Like to See 'Offed'?

In response to: Putting aside matters of law, criminality and ethics, what three people would you nominate to be offed?

I am allowed three murders? Can I take out "groups" the world over? Well, then No. 1, all the torturers of children. Two, all the torturers of animals. And three, all the idiots talking on cell phones on buses, in the streets, in doctors’ waiting rooms, in taxis and generally in public where I have to listen to them whether I want to or not.

Liz has the sentiments of many Americans regarding children, but the reality of our laws suggests stopping people from smoking pot is more important. While I do personally know of one step-father sentenced to twenty years after raping his stepdaughter from age 9 to 17 with DNA evidence, I also know of a former neighbor only sentenced to three years after molesting a neighborhood 13 year old then returned to the same neighborhood. The criminal was a repeat offender.

When will the free child prostitution in the United States be exposed or get the press that Thailand’s problem gets? I guess we don’t want to think that sort of thing happens right here.

That is a great question Susan. Unfortunately, when the people that children are supposed to trust such as church leaders, teachers, even cops are the ones that are the abusers, then the cycle will continue. How many of our "trusted" people that have unfettered access to the children of our country have abused children somewhere else and no one is told about it. Even more shameful, people do know it but allow them to counsel children still.

Roger…don’t forget the family members! I was molested by my father and a female cousin for years. I finally spoke up at the ripe old age of 7 about my cousin and my parents limited my contact with her….funny how mom never noticed what dad was doing. She told me once that she thought it strange that at the age of 3 I would ride my rocking horse for hours and be in a trance like state….gee, ya think somethin was going on?!! Anyway, I’d take out not only anyone who harms children, but also those that are in a position to stop it, but don’t…..and maybe my ex-husband.

My three? 1) The creep who kidnapped and hen twice impregnated an 11 year old girl. 2) The President of Iran. 3) An anti-social local resident who will remain nameless.
