Just checking the L.A. Weekly for stories in the news and right off the bat I find some truly vivid examples of heartless people. Quite rotten examples to demonstrate some of the darker side of life in a civilized society.
"Today In WTF: Man Steals Dog At Site Of Car Crash," By Dennis Romero, Friday, Feb. 12 2010 @ 5:45PM. L.A. Weekly blogs, http://blogs.laweekly.com/ladaily/community/dog-stolen-crash-site/ There was an auto accident Wednesday afternoon in Highgrove, located in Riverside County. The driver and her 2-year old son were in their vehicle that rolled over and came to rest on it's roof. Their little dog, Rizzo, (see story for the cute dog picture) took off and some neighborhood kids held onto him as the woman and child were preoccupied with the accident and did not notice they did not have the dog with them until way later. A man comes by and told the kids he'd take care of the dog. He took off with the dog and the police and family are looking for the dog and the thief. The story mentions that the kids said he spoke Spanish to them. Maybe that's a Latino who took the dog, or just somebody able to speak Spanish to kids that were Latinos, or maybe that's all the thief could speak. Either way, it's part of the story, and I am glad they aren't into political correctness to filter out details from the story.
Some people are just rotten and what's almost as bad is that there's going to be some friend or family member of the thief who sees the dog and may know the guy stole it but no one turns him in or gets him to do the right thing. There's a chance that the guy is just caring for the dog until he can get back to them; that would really be two chances- slim and none. Sorry, he snatched the dog and I have no sympathy for those people and the terrible impact on people that this has of losing the pet, not knowing what's happened to the pet, and just upsetting a family's life by being a low-life among criminals.
The second story I bring up is about an adult woman who was mentally disabled and operated at a level of a young teen. "Jennifer Daugherty, Mentally Disabled, was Tortured and Murdered by her 'friends': Six arrested." By Pete Kotz, Friday, Feb. 12 2010 @ 4:47PM, in True Crime Report, Douchebags, assault, homicide, kidnapping.

This woman was treated brutally and killed by these people, with details of the story showing the kind of hearts that make the death penalty sound about right here. The details are horrible and it's as if these men and women did not consider the victim to be a human being. The woman was put on a bus by her step-father to go to a community center in another nearby city and that's where the ordeal happened. The step-father must have seen the woman as capable to travel like this, but she was probably very susceptible to getting into real trouble endangering personal safety if anything began to go wrong. Some things are o.k. as long as nothing goes wrong- but that's a condition easily upset with the many types of defenseless people.
The disabled woman, like many people who have mental disabilities, exhibit a lot of trust in persons, due in a large part of their inability to recognize all the bad things that can happen, and not being able to anticipate and avoid danger situations or harm when it's happening. From their limited mental processing it's can become very dangerous very quickly as they have no ability to defend themselves. The people here appear to have exploited those characteristics for something that's goes way beyond just a warped form of amusement. It was purely cruel if done to someone who is not able to fully mentally function. The disadvantaged level of the victim makes this something most evil. If you check the story and the details described, there's not much doubt that the victim must have suffered as the indignities were inflicted.
These two stories are examples of what you see as examples of really sick behavior. Animal torture is not quite the case here, but taking and keeping the pet shows no concern for the pet. The owners were involved enough with the dog to be taking it with them before they had the accident. The dog, any dog, needs proper care, and taking pet from an owner is first of all, theft, and next, shows a person's bad character that I think justifies some serious punishment if they ever find him. And if anyone covers for him, they could and should share some criminal charges.
The people who killed the disabled woman have no excuse of any sort other than they are slime bags and need to spend any time they have left living on this planet to be inside a cell. Sexual predators of children, aka, Child Molesters, are pretty clearly seen as bad folks, but I don't know if there's all the same clarity is seeing people who victimize the weak and defenseless are as blameworthy for their acts. I will leave it at that, since this is not an area that needs any extensive explanation for showing that this conduct is evil, should not be tolerated, and is worthy of condemnation and incarceration.
When you have people who do things like this, you have no reason to think there's any limits they will follow as to any other persons, and removing them from being among us is needed.
