The Murderer’s Argument

The Idaho Statesman has a breaking news bulletin on Convicted Sex Offender/ alleged murderer Joseph Edward Duncan III saying that the blogging killer is blogging again through the help of someone whose smuggling out long hand to another person to transcribe. For those who don’t know:

Duncan, 42, of Fargo, N.D., has pleaded innocent to three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of first-degree kidnapping in the slayings of three people in a northern Idaho home in May 2005. His trial is set for April 4.

Prosecutors allege Duncan killed Brenda Kay Groene, 40; her son, Slade Vincent Groene, 13; and her boyfriend, Mark Edward McKenzie, 37, in order to abduct and sexually assault Dylan Groene, 9, and Shasta Groene, who was 8 at the time. Shasta was rescued seven weeks later, but Dylan’s remains were found in Montana.

So, this is a bad dude, but this is the 21st Century and everyone has a blog. I found his blog. It took a little digging, for those bound and determined to do so, feel free, but I won’t promote it here with a link. I’ll only address some of the most salient points. In a post entitled, “Do I Feel Remorse” Duncan writes:

Yes, I feel remorse for every time I gassed up my car instead of protesting the war in Iraq.

Yes, the Blog is a twisted web of evil, disabusing Christian scripture, throwing in some Buddhism for good measure and trashing the Bible to boot.

Monday, he had an argument up that was all too familiar:

When will America learn? It seems nobody remembers the result of “getting tough on alcoholics” (the prohibition). It was literally the birth of organized crime in America. Or what about “getting tough on drugs” (the so called “War on drugs”)? We now have over five times more drugs in this country than before! So now we need to get “tough on sex crimes?” That’s synonymous to saying, “We need more sex crime!” It’s really no mystery why. If you take control away from a person who has an obvious need for control (a “sex offender”—just for example) then what do you think they’ll do? Give up? Not likely. They are going to find a way to take control back, at any cost. And guess what? Do you really think they’ll look for a new way to get control, or resort to the one way they know? Hmm, maybe if common sense doesn’t snap us out of our delusion history will. Since America started getting tough on Sex crime in the mid 80’s we now have more than double the sex crimes per capita than the 70’s.

Wow, this is like libertarianism taken to its most extreme in the mind of this psycho. The strange thing is that if he were being facetious you’d think it was satire. The sad thing is it does follow the arguments of the many people who argue for Social Libertarianism:

1) More drug laws=more drugs
2) More abortion laws=more abortions
3) More Sex Crime laws=more sex crimes

It gets worse:

And a very good friend of mine who happens to be a “serial killer” told me that he committed more sex crimes during the two years he was on parole (including killing three children) than he did in the entire five years he was not on parole.

When you’re “Friends” with a serial killer, that says something about the type of human being you are. He goes on to explain how those cops caused a lot of people to be killed:

In fact—he tells me that while he was not on parole he committed NO crimes until the police started doing illegal quarterly registration checks at his home (coming to his house to make sure he was complying with the law). He said that was when he started looking for control again—to prove (consciously and subconsciously to himself) that “they” couldn’t control him. So now more people are dead and hurting because some police chief decided to take it upon himself to “get tough on sex crime.”

Of course, if we just let sex offenders roam free range, we wouldn’t have this problem. Look at what those cops did! Yeah, definitely a child of our culture. Its always someone else’s fault.

I’ve got to tell you that upon reading this, I could not serve on the jury for this man. No remorse, no compassion for the victims in committing the brutal murder of four human beings, I’m left to conclude that the death penalty was made for Joseph Duncan.
