Rest in peace. Another senseless death. We should bring back public execution for assholes like this.

The sad part is, our brothers and sisters are going to continue to be slaughtered until the justice system decides that true criminals belong behind bars.

How much do you guys want to bet that he was a convicted felon? I might be wrong, but I'd be surprised. Even if he's not, he'll get out in 15-20 probably.
