Many years ago, when I was in charge of a local government office, a security guard (who was collecting cash to put into the van) was shot point blank in the face by a guy with a shotgun, and died almost instantly leaving a new wife (who was pregnant).
I was feeling all sorts of emotions including anger, sadness, and hoped that he would get punished real bad - in fact, he got 5 years.
At the time it happened a female senior social worker told me that it was societies fault, and that it was probably to feed a drug habit - I bet that would have made his wife a whole lot better!
That is the closest I have ever come to hitting a woman, but then she would'nt have felt anything, because where there's no sense there's no feeling.
What I say is apart from being punished these scumbags should be forced to have a vasectomy, (or sterilised in the case of a female) to stop them from creating, plus it would have the added advantage of curbing the population.
Thats it, I've now got it off my chest.
