It is a great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual, he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all it's good dispositions.

Some people should just be shot…


I propose changing the law to allow shooting of people (after conviction of course) just for doing things that make one realizes just how slimey humans can be. For example, this guy and thew horrible mom following this story are the latest of those I’m labeling “should just be shot”:

Father Arrested After Leaving Toddler in Car at Brothel Parking Lot

PATRICK, Nev. —

An Oregon man is in custody after allegedly leaving his 2-year-old daughter in a car in 95-degree heat in the parking lot of a brothel east of Reno.

The Storey County sheriff’s office said Lucien Hoffman of Bend, Ore., was being held in the country jail in lieu of $40,000 bail on charges of child neglect.

Hoffman told deputies he was attending a function at the Mustang Ranch brothel off Interstate 80, 15 miles east of Reno.

A brothel security guard found the child crying inside the car on Saturday and took her indoors until authorities arrived.

The toddler was treated for dehydration and released to the Nevada Division of Child and Family Services.

Sad, very sad. But what about this woman, whom I think shooting her is just too damn good for her:

California Infant Dies After Mom Uses Meth Pipe Swab to Clean His Nose

ONTARIO, Calif. —

An 8-month-old boy has died after his mother told police she accidentally cleaned his nose with a cotton swab used earlier to clean a methamphetamine pipe.

Samuel Reta of Ontario was declared dead Friday at Loma Linda University Medical Center, according to the San Bernardino County Coroner’s office.

Reta had been in a coma since police responding to a child-not-breathing emergency call early Thursday found him in full cardiac arrest. The baby also has a fractured skull, broken arm and pneumonia, police said.

Elizabeth Reta, 27, was arrested Thursday and booked for investigation of felony child abuse.

Her boyfriend Juan Antonio Sanchez Jr., who surrendered to police later that night, was also arrested on suspicion of abusing the child, officials said.

It was not immediately known if Reta and Sanchez faced additional charges now that they boy had died, police Sgt. Joseph Giallo said Monday.

Reta had told police she gave the baby a bath, and then used the cotton swab to clean his nose because it was itching, police said. She said she didn’t know the swab had been used to clean a methamphetamine pipe.

It wasn’t clear when the baby suffered the broken bones. Police said some of the injuries may be the result of Sanchez’s attempt to rouse the baby from his seizure.

Let’s get the firing squad ready…
