See, Tony, I am a primitive. I think making a child hurter/killer suffer as his little victims did is a very good thing.
And I believe every mother of a little victim would agree.
A few years ago, I posted about a monster who raped a woman while holding a kinfe to her little girl's throat. The gang agreed no fire could be hot enough for him. And a week later--forget exactly--my barroom pal Brian the Cop told me the rapist met a very unfortunate "accident" in the showers at Riker's Island. He kinda got a broken neck.

Dear me. How sad.:cryin:
He should have gotten fucked to death with a baseball bat.I wanted more vengence at first I think. But then I got to thinking...it isn't about making him pay. It was about the family trying to move on and heal. And they did, ultimately.
There is something to be said for Mr. Harvey's demise. It was almost divine in the perfect way everything lined up. He ended up exactly how he should have. In a ditch, not missed or worried about, his body undiscovered until the thaw...he was an afterthought.
Who knows why it happened that way? The story was not about revenge or the killer being dispatched in some heinous way. It was about acceptance of things beyond our control, coming to grips with tragedy, and seeing that it is not how you died but how you lived that was important.
I loved the story and was moved deeply by it on some philisophical way.
That post got all screwed-up, but I hope me meaning came through.
