NO MERCY

here's the article

ON WEDNESDAY ONE OF CHARLES MANSON’S MOST LOYAL FOLLOWERS WAS DENIED PAROLE … FOR THE 13TH TIME.
SUSAN ATKINS PETITIONED THIS TIME FOR A COMPASSIONATE RELEASE BECAUSE SHE IS DYING OF BRAIN CANCER AND DOCTORS SAY SHE ONLY HAS MONTHS TO LIVE. SHE IS NOW BED-RIDDEN WITH ONE AMPUTATED LEG AND THE OTHER PARALYZED.
L.A. COUNTY DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY PATRICK SEQUEIRA SAID TO THE LA TIMES:

“As sad as Mrs. Atkins looks today, it pales against the crime scene photos,”

HE HAS AVIDLY OPPOSED THE RELEASE OF MANSON KILLERS OVER THE YEARS.

So Years ago, this woman was influenced by some crazy man who convinced her and many others that he was some sort of god and got them to do horrible things to other people. For this she was sentenced life in prison.

OK, I get that. No mercy for her.

But, this is now and now she gets to live among other people who also have a bad reputation and can empathize with her situation. On top of it she gets brain cancer and instead of suffering with it she gets treatment... on our dime.

This is the definition of no mercy here, eh. If I got brain cancer I would surely suffer and die from it with no treatment cause I can't afford it.

Gee wiz, people! The brain cancer and being paralyzed and having a leg amputated IS the no mercy part. The universe handled it. Read between the lines..... that means relatives of the victims too... you have been paying for her to live and receive treatment over the years. Do you understand? You are footing the bill for the life of this person who killed someone you love.

Had she been released, say, 10 years ago and told she now had to make her own way it would have been very difficult for her and she would have had to live among NORMAL people who disapprove of what she did, and she would have had to explain her way through life. (i.e. Getting a job, who would hire her. Finding a place to live, who would want her in their building.)
You wanna be hard core, that's no mercy. let them sit with themselves in prison for awhile to stew in what they did and lose out on part of life. When it comes time for parole hearings and they seem genuinely sorry let them go, monitor them heavily and let them fend for themselves. LIKE THE REST OF US DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
