Good Riddance

From BET.com: The police bullets that killed a 27-year-old northern California man were too late. When officers in Stanislaus County rolled up on the man along a dark, country road Saturday night, they saw him kicking, punching and stomping a toddler. They fired, killing the unidentified man, but not before the man had killed the child, estimated by the Stanislaus County coroner to be between 1 and 2 years old. “It’s been a long night of wondering, ‘Why?’ – not only for the officers and the passers-by who stopped and tried to help out, but for anyone. Why would somebody do this?” said sheriff’s deputy Royjindar Singh. Authorities say they do not know the relationship between the child and the man. The injuries were so severe, Singh said, that the child will have to be identified through a blood or DNA test. The suspect’s four-door pickup truck had a child’s car seat in the back; it caught the attention of an elderly couple late Saturday evening because it had stopped in a two-lane road, facing the wrong direction, Singh told The Associated Press. When they got closer, the couple saw the man pummeling the child behind the truck and throw him to the ground, the deputy said. “What we got from witnesses is he was punching, slapping, kicking, stomping, shaking,” Singh said. “They tried to intervene and get involved, but their efforts really didn’t have an effect. The suspect was engaged in what he was doing. He just pushed them off and went back to it.” Paramedics tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate the toddler, who was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Now I'm not an advocate to murdering, but under these circumstances, I'm willing to allow it. This muf*cker got what he deserved. I'm sorry for using that word, but there is nothing else befitting to a grown man stomping a child to DEATH.
