Please Google the following words, “Mother and boyfriend accused of killing boy crushed to death in car.” Here is what happened. It took place in the UK. The boy was three years old. He was sitting on the ground in the back seat area. He was crying continuously. The boyfriend was annoyed and kept pulling the lever so the front seat could go back and hit the baby.
When the baby was struck, obviously he was hurt and began to cry louder. The mother who was in the back seat began to slap him for crying out in pain. The boyfriend kept pushing the front seat back onto the baby until he was crushed to death. In situations like these when I write about them, I always say; “Thank God non-white persons were not the perpetrators.”
Non-white people are always looked down upon by the white, developed world. We are seen as inferior in values to the white race. When Americans and Europeans come down to the Third World, they return and write condescendingly of what they see. We read that our waiters are not properly attired. The hotels lack international standards; the supermarkets are not classy enough; our politicians are uncouth (even though the Republican Party in the US has the most outrageous politicians in the world, many of whom come close to embracing fascism) etc.
This is racial superiority at work. See my column of Tuesday, February 20, 2018, captioned, “Australian horror: Thank God it wasn’t a Black family.” On the journey of a cruise liner, the entire ship of passengers was terrorized by a group of drunken men and their friends, including female relatives and wives. Passengers bolted up themselves in their cabins. Staff members were assaulted. It was terror on the high seas. And guess what? It didn’t happen in Africa or Central America. All the culprits were white Australians.
When I read the story of the crushed baby, it further convinced me that Homo sapiens is a flawed species. Many members of the human race are unfit to be humans and should be put to death for sadistic crimes involving death. There is no question in my mind whatsoever that I would not even think about it for a fraction of a second if I have to vote on whether that boyfriend and the baby’s mother should be given the death penalty and then put away. I do not support the complete abolition of the death penalty.
I believe there should be a broad category for which the death sentence should be removed from the law books. There is an extensive list of crimes for which I do not support the state carrying out execution. I can think of treason; crimes of passion; physical brawls in which one or more of the combatants die, shootings that were criminal in intent but things went out of control, many cases of murder. etc.
But certainly not in all circumstances should the death penalty be removed. The crusaders of the abolition of the death penalty know little about ontology, philosophy, the nature of human existence, the nature of Homo sapiens. They clamour for the removal of state execution, because they have a naïve and one-sided understanding of the human being.
The premise of the advocates of the abolition of the death penalty is that humans are a higher species and it is cruel for the state to deliberately put a human to death. This premise is flawed and the reasoning is more emotionally than philosophically and scientifically based.
I have never read anywhere why humans should not kill a bear that is attacking them. I contend in the same context, humans who become carnivorous bears should be killed, and I am unapologetic about this.
Here is my pellucid polemic. In life, members of the human race descend to the level of the savage beast. They have no reasoning, no rationality, no human instincts. They are dangerous creatures that hurt and kill people. When caught, depending on the nature of their crimes, they should be removed entirely from civilized society. Their uncivilized lives should end.
I make no apologies for writing this, and I will repeat it as long as I see how right the philosophers were on the nature of Homo sapiens. The list includes Koestler, Freud, Nietzsche, Hobbes, etc. Some humans are not higher animals. They are lower than the lowest forms of animal life. They do not belong to society and should not be even put in jail. They should be physically removed from life because of their savagery. Those who killed that baby do not deserve to live.
