I would love to hear from the gun control advocates of the world why this case should be discounted, as it is NOT a “Gun Death”.
The discovery of 18-year-old Kimberly Proctor’s charred body on the Galloping Goose Trail on March 19 shocked this community. The details of her murder are even more horrifying…The grim statement makes clear that the teenage boys planned Proctor’s death well in advance.
Through text messages and online chats, they created code words to initiate the attack, outlined how they would tie her up and assault her, discussed what types of fuel to use to burn her body, and drew up a map of possible places to dispose of her body.
The statement suggests that the two killers were not remorseful about what they did. After they raped and asphyxiated Proctor, and then mutilated and burned her body, the 16-year-old met up with his girlfriend and the 18-year-old went shopping and for brunch with his mother.
But the statement is short on details for a motive. Proctor had flirted with both boys in the fall of 2009 before declining their advances; they killed her four months later.
A disgusting and brutal case, and done at the hands of children. But not a “Gun Death”, so in the eyes of those who concern themselves with only the tool, this case isn’t relevant!
h/t Bob who was nice enough to give me a heads-up on the nature of the email…
These guys aren’t children. That was over when they decided to carry out this evil act.
There is no cure for sociopathic behavior.
Sure there is, it involves quality rope, a good knot, and short drop and a quick stop….
I would go more for a literal eye-for-an-eye-type punishment…
