Jan. 11th, 2006 01:42 amI'm sleepy tonight, but it was worth it.
kakita_shisumo and
duende_grrl Took us out to dinner tonight to repay us for minding their pets last weekend. We had delicious gobs of Italian food up at The Red Zone. I am well sated and apt to acquire fatness. Mmm mmm. In other news, everything should be set to go at the apartment. We have utilities, cable and internet; all the necessities of life, really. All the ones you can't eat, anyway. Now we just have to get stuff in there. I can't wait. Today we're going to go down to Nebraska Furniture Mart and scout for couches and the like. I normally hate going any further into debt, but for actually owning my own furniture, I'll gladly make an exception.
And now, a news story in which bad things happen to bad people:
http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/01/10/teens.lynching/index.html
Please, no one lecture me on how the punishment is too harsh and how prison only makes bad people worse, yada yada. I'm a vengeful motherfucker who loves seeing bullies get their come uppance. As this rarely ever happens in our world, I reserve the right to take pleasure where I may. And really, how much worse is prison going to make them? Will it teach them to engage in five on one racial violence, as commonly happens? It probably would, if they weren't already doing it.
However, I do find it odd that South Carolina defines a lynching as a mob attack where the victim survives. I always thought lynchings were supposed to be lethal.
