My Dad used to tell me that I shouldn't confuse justice with the law. When I was a little guy I didn't understand that but I do now.
In todays paper I read the body of a young woman, a 16 year old named Stephanie Wagner was found on Wednesday. That would be October 25, 2006. Young Ms. Wagner was working as a waitress at the Indian Head Resturant in Logansport, Indiana.
Her murderer worked at the same resturant as a dishwasher. He had been paroled in March of 2006. Paroled after serving 26 years for murdering a 5 year old ... again... 5 year old boy in Kansas back in 1979.
What parole boards don't seem to understand is that once a child molester or child raper or child abuser or child murderer.... the key word here is child... starts they don't stop. Not after 26 years. Not after 126 years. They don't stop. They need to be kept away from people. Kids are also people!
So here we have a parole board in Kansas giving parole to a murdering pervert who then moves to Indiana and within 6 months of being paroled murders a 16 year old girl.
The murderer, Danny R. Rouse, admitted doing the deed. He told police, "a feeling came over him."
What is this about? A murderers rights? Just why was this pervert paroled? Why is any pervert paroled? It certainly isn't justice to my way of thinking. Was he released because of the law? Ms. Wagner will never have justice on this earth.
No one at the resturant knew 'ol Danny boy's past. Maybe if parole boards across the nation continue to feel compelled to release these perverts back into society they could at least require a capital "P" be branded on their foreheads so the the rest of us might have a fighting chance at survival.
I'm sure everyone involved feels really bad. From Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius to the parole board, the resturant owner who hired Danny boy and of course the parents and friends of Young Ms. Wagner.
Stephanie Wagner, however, doesn't feel bad. She is dead!
