Simple.
ZERO tolerance for those who hurt children
Oh my! How awful, what is going on with these people? Please stop hurting innocent children.
What a terrible beating she must have given that poor child. The violence of these people is right off the civilisational scale. It’s not mental illness. It’s worse. It is an inherited and murderous psychopathy, a continual danger to civil society, and it needs to be treated as such.
And who killed Baby Ru? Same type of people. Still out there wandering around. Living high on the hog in social housing at the taxpayers’ expense. And still no arrests.
Don’t tell me
A victim
A minority group
From an under privileged background
Over represented in crime statistics pertaining to a certain ethnicity not a race
Should have been drowned at birth
