He's obviously not right in the head, but I doubt he was criminally insane if he was otherwise functioning/holding down a job/concealing the crime/etc. for 24 years.
I think the biggest problem we have in America is the notion that if you do something really bad, you must be insane or mentally ill.
I submit that some people are just plain evil.
this is one of those times.
When someone does something really good or noble (volunteer for the red cross, spend all their free time helping the homeless, etc) we don't think of that person as mentally ill. We call these people 'good' people or saints (like mother Teressa)
by that logic, the reverse should apply. When someone does something vile and despicable, then they should be regarded as evil and death by fire ants and jelly fish is too kind a fate for them.
Wouldn't that be something. Imagine a giant swimming pool type vat filled with those huge man of war type jelly fishes or the common box-car jelly fishes and then people like this get thrown in the vat.
Anyways, the link was so disturbing. I'm amazed at the stuff we still do in this modern day and age. Sad. Very very sad.
