Exterminate the brute.

"Mansa Musa Muhummed, who beat, tortured and starved his children for
decades, was sentenced to seven life terms in prison today by a judge
in Murrieta who said the man=92s "reign of terror" against his family
merited the harsh sentence.
"Mr. Muhummed showed no remorse and accepted no responsibility for his
twisted behavior, and the court is sending the strongest message
possible," Riverside County Superior Court Judge F. Paul Dickerson III
said.
Some of Muhummed=92s 19 children urged the court to show no mercy to
their father because he showed no mercy to them. "I=92m very afraid of
him, please don=92t let him ever get out of jail," said Sharon Boddie,
who was locked up in a dark garage and starved by her father. When
police found her, she was 18 and weighed 48 pounds. "I still have
nightmares about him,=94 she told the judge. =93Parents are supposed to
protect their children, not abuse them.=94
During the trial, family members testified that Muhummed locked them
in their home, hanged them from the ceiling and beat them, made them
eat their own feces and vomit, and routinely hit them with boat oars,
hoses and electric cords. He also had three wives.
One of his wives finally slipped a letter detailing the abuse to the
mailman, who notified child protective services. The police raided the
family=92s rural Aguanga home in 1999 and freed the family. The case
took 10 years to get to trial because of legal maneuvers by Muhummed."

Medina, unless you know more about this case than can be seen from the
article, I have no idea why you would think this merits such a harsh
sentence. It doesn't even say what the exact charges were. There has to be
some crime, the state cannot just step in to correct family matters that do
not amount to an actual crime, just because it may seem a little out of the
ordinary when compared to other families. I too was kept in dark closets
for the longest of times when I was young, but I got over it. I can look
back on those years now since I am an adult, and see the justification my
parents had because it was usually when my parents had company over, maybe
to play bridge, and how else were they to control me and keep me from
embarrassing then with some of my outbursts. Sure, sometimes I had to stay
in there long after the bridge games were over and company had already left,
but I am past that now and with no emotional scarring. Now that I am a
parent I can more understand these things, but of course was quite resentful
when I was young. Maybe these kids in the article will look back with
regret someday for testifying against their own flesh and blood. I'm sure
their father must have done something right once in awhile. Somebody must
have clothed and fed them, even the girl who was only 48 pounds must have
eaten occassionally. Don't be so quick to judge other people when you don't
know the circumstances. Most of us grow up and get over these little issues
we had as children and become normal adults functioning in an increasingly
complex world and without any signs of being disturbed. I know I did.

Paul does troll much better than sarchasm.
And when he specifically posts a disclaimer that a post is to be taken
seriously, he is often dead on.

Maybe he only needs a little reminder.
