A 20 year old man with a white painted face and black painted eyes entered a child daycare centre. He pulled out a 12 inch knife and went rampaging through the place, stabbing and slashing the children as they lay in bed. Among the victims are two infants, a 54 year old female employee and a lot of wounded.

Du Four denied rumours that the suspect had escaped from a psychiatric ward or was high on drugs or alcohol.

Hopefully he won't get off on an insanity plea. Where's the death penalty when you need it.

Old news.

That's a shame, what's the world coming to when we can't solve our social problems with institutional murder?

Oh, didn't realize it was old news. It was the first I heard of it.
Yeah protocol number 6 of the European Convention of Human Rights and the second optional protocol of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

They'd stopped before those came into being.
