I Like Killing Babies. Marry Me

As disgusting as it is, there are men (& and woman) that get a sick pleasure from raping, killing, and torturing other human beings. These are the people that take our basic human mores and our normal genetic code and twist it into something mired in filth, hate, and evil.

For instance, one of the most famous serial killers in America is Theodore Robert Bundy (Ted Bundy). He got his highs from raping and killing an admitted 30 different women. Some counts of his crimes are closer to 100. Basically he would rape women, kill them, and then rape their lifeless bodies. Really attractive stuff.

Then there are less known criminals like the unidentified inmate in this story that was sentenced to death row for kidnapping and killing an attendant of a gas station in order to get some kicks on his 21st birthday.

What about Richard Ramirez/The Night Stalker? He was convicted on 13 counts of murder, 5 attempted murders, 11 sexual assaults, and 14 burglaries. And for these crimes he was sentenced to death row.

What do each of these criminals have in common besides gross negligence against their fellow human beings?

They each found love while either on trial or already behind bars. Yes, Ted Bundy, Richard Ramirez, and hundreds, if not thousands, of inmates find marriage and love still attainable after society has shut them away and sentenced them to death.

Gross, yes. But in 1967 Loving v. Virginia found that:

Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man," fundamental to our very existence and survival.... To deny this fundamental freedom on so unsupportable a basis as the racial classifications embodied in these statutes, classifications so directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment, is surely to deprive all the State's citizens of liberty without due process of law.

So here we are. Those in society that have committed the vilest of sins (against Man) have the right to marry, and if not on death row, the right to conjugal visits. Mr. Ramirez found love after a freelance magazine editor wrote him 75 letters in prison. Ted Bundy famously married his wife during his trial in front of the court and many of his adoring fans.

So here in America you can rape babies, kill office clerks, torture numerous victims and if you survive the prison gauntlet, you can get married and still have carnal visits from said wife. Hooray for America.

Last I checked I have never raped, killed, or tortured anyone. I have a good job, a great education, always go by the letter of the law... but not only do I not have the same rights as my closest friends, I don't even have the same rights as the filth that society locks away.

God Bless America. Land of the free*.
