A Moral Imperative.

Three men broke into the house in Walkerville, Johannesburg, assaulting and shooting dead Tony Viana (right) and brutally raping and killing his wife, Geraldine (left). They then tied up and gagged the sobbing boy, Amaro, second left, and pushed him into a bath of scalding hot water to drown him, 'because he would be able to identify them'. (Also pictured, Gabriela Correia, Mr Viana's daughter from his first marriage.)

Anybody convicted of such unmitigated evil should never be allowed to continue to share a planet with the rest of us.
It is a moral depravity that people are permitted the freedom to commit such acts in the absolute certainty that their own lives will not, indeed cannot, be forfeited.
The Scriptures are 100% clear on what the outcome should be and STILL we get those in church communities who pretend that 'turning the other cheek' applies to societies and not just to the individual.
Against this backcloth, in the New S. Africa, murders have shot up to a mere 44 EVERY day!
Funny how those of an abolitionist persuasion never use that nation when trying to make their rather lame case, isn't it?
All I ask is for JUSTICE. Facing a rope, these people would also have a lengthy period of time in which to make their peace with God, something they denied to their victims!

Phew.
