Sad update on serial rapist......

[Axman]

As many of you may remember, I posted a while back about a rapist in our area that has had police scrambling and our neighborhood terrified. Over the weekend, he struck again. His victim was a 15 year old girl who was babysitting a younger child. She died from the assault.

The good news is, they caught him. I try to avoid holding ill will against people but I can't help but hope he suffers for what he has done.

1. You shouldn't feel bad about holding ill will against him.

The nature of his crime is supposed to invoke that wrath within us. I would worry about whether people cared if it didn't.

Maybe the healing can begin now.

2. Where are you?

There's been a rash of assaults like this in the Boston area.

In Fairfax County.

4. What?? I heard nothing about this over the weekend...

Where did they catch him? Is this the same one from the Centreville area (I saw something in a gas station a while ago about a suspect) or elsewhere in the county?

Thanks

5. Huh?

I'm in Alex and I wasn't famiar with the story. Capital punishment is one issue where I differ with the Democratic left. Sounds like this guy is a candidate for the noose or the firing squad.

6. No death penelty!

Put him in general lock up in the state pen. Let it be known he is a child rapist who murdered a 15 y/o girl. Things tend to work out in the pen.

7. You're contradicting yourself

What you just described IS a death sentence, and the ACLU would be all over it.

8. Not State murder

Okay, WE don't tell the inmates, they would find out sooner or later. I don't think he should get special protection because of his crime. Should have thought about it before he killed the child.

9. I wasn't either...

Until my neighbor was raped. I don't know why this hasn't made the news but the rapes have been ongoing for months.

10. Eh?

Axman,

Do you mind providing a link to some news about this? I too live in Fairfax, and was out of town for the holiday weekend. How long has this been going on? Which neighborhoods?

Thanks!
