I was just telling my wife about Valleyfair last night. I had my palm read there when I was 10 or 11 years old.

Sucks for that family.

Do the same thing to these pieces of shit, as to the four kids in Sacramento.  Hang their bodies on display at the entry to the amusement park...and people wonder why more and more people are exercising their Second Amendment rights, as well as carrying concealed.

Sometimes I wish for a lex talionis style of law enforcement in this country and this is an example of why.

(Google lex talionis if you don't have a smattering of Latin in your vocab)

I like it:

While all cultures have some system of social regulation and conflict resolution, law is a distinct phenomenon in that it is written and adminstered retribution and conflict resolution. The earliest human legal systems were almost universally forms of lex talionis, or "the law (lex) of retaliation." The lex talionis is a law of equal and direct retribution: in the words of the Hebrew scriptures, "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, an arm for an arm, a life for a life." 


The Code of Hammurabi 
    The earliest written code of laws was the Code of Hammurabi, the most famous of the Old Babylonian, or Amorite, kings of Mesopotamia. Hammurabi's code of laws is almost entirely based on the principle of equal and direct retribution; it betrays the origin of law in retributive violence. Since the lex talionis is often the earliest form that law takes, from it we can conclude that the basic function of law is revenge and retribution. Unlike direct retribution, however, the law is administered by the state or by individuals that cannot be victims of revenge in return. While revenge and retribution threatens to break down society as people take reciprocal revenge one another, revenge as it is embodied in law and administered by the state prevents mutual and reciprocal revenge from tearing the fabric of society apart.
