No compassion for Duncan

I noticed in the May 19 edition that ol’ Joseph Duncan was feeling very poorly for his family! He surely felt they would be further harmed if he were to be put to death for his heinous crimes against society.

Now, we do not know how many people he has kidnapped, raped and killed. He is a real lowlife who deserves whatever happens to him.

He disregarded his victims’ right to life. Too bad the two states that had him nailed for various sexual crimes let him go.

He has smirked all the time since his capture. He said he was “only returning the kidnapped child to her family.” Well, he had killed them. So what a lie to ease her fears of what he planned for her. If I remember, he was already scouting out his next victims and was probably going to discard her, to continue his evil heinous path of destruction.

Probably best that if a person is accused of sexual crimes or kidnapping they be denied bail to protect further victims. They cannot be out in polite society!
