"Thought It Would Be Funny"

Words. Fail. Me.

Teen Charged in Craigslist Killing
MINNEAPOLIS —
A 19-year-old man suspected of killing a woman who answered an online ad for a baby sitter was charged Tuesday with second-degree murder.

Michael John Anderson is accused of shooting Katherine Ann Olson in the back at his home in suburban Savage, according to the criminal complaint filed in Scott County District Court.

Why was this young woman murdered?
When confronted with evidence, Anderson admitted he was present during Olson's slaying but said the killing was committed by a friend of his who "thought it would be funny," according to the complaint.

"Thought it would be funny".

Let that sink in for a second. A young woman is brutally and senselessly murdered for no other reason than these sonsabitches' amusement.

You know what would be "funny"? If the person or persons responsible for this were drawn and quartered live on national TV, then shot at dawn, with their corpses being left to rot and/or be eaten by vultures. That'd be a fucking hoot.

All the gun control in the fucking world will not solve the problem of a man or group of men who think it is "funny" to lure a young woman to their house with the express purpose of ending her life.

What's even worse is that they're being charged with second degree murder. WTF? If this isn't the very fucking dictionary definition of pre-meditated murder (i.e. first degree), then NOTHING is. They had the tools, a motive, and the intent. What the fuck more would you need for a first degree murder conviction?

We need the gallows reinstated, or perhaps the guillotine introduced as vermin control. It is long past time for us to start eradicating these sick fucks with extreme vengeance. Barring that, let's hope that this woman's husband, father, or brother owns a high-powered rifle and can shoot it well...

hate to say it but in this sick world if the family does kill one of these sick pups (and they should be allowed to) then they will probably get murder one for premeditation. . . at least that's how it would work in lovely MA. . . .

I grew up forty miles from there, and left about twenty years ago. I've gone back to visit the folks, and have always held out the possibility of returning to MN after retiring from the .mil.

I'm afraid I'd feel the need to clean up some trash were I to return permanently.

Well, if convicted we can always hope they get to meet 'Bubba' on the inside. Or perhaps that Bubba meets their insides, how ever that works out...

Most likely the charge is second degree because proving first would be difficult.

Would you rather have acquittal on first or a conviction on second?

Y'know, Jay, that I'm against the death penalty because of the possibility of executing an innocent person, but with people like this who ADMIT their guilt, I'd have less of an issue with the death penalty... and frankly, for someone like this I'd prefer to see their hanging or firing squad TELEVISED.

Pour encouragement les autres.
