Is Using A Minotaur To Gore Detainees A Form Of Torture?

Say! Let’s say, for just a moment, that you are an insane convicted rapist who has kidnapped an 11-year-old, chained her in your back yard and then, over the next 18 years, fathered two kids by her. You are also (quelle surprise!) a religious fanatic who believes that God speaks through you—since, you know, God is pretty much all about raping tweens. How would you get things off your chest? Duh—you’d write a blog.

Yeah. Spend some time there and realize that, for all your minor little mental health problems (”I’m like kind of depressed or something because it’s raining …”), you have generally a working brain. This guy? Not so much.

Thanks to JS for the heads-up on this.

Oh, and—check out the comments, which to me are fascinating; the general vibe is one of wishing death and/or prison rape on Ol’ Kidnappy, which I can understand. But that many of these comments come from Christians I find interesting, since the difference between their delusions and Garrido’s are simply a matter of degree. ‘Course, they aren’t child-rapists, but they’re using God as an excuse to wish or visit harm on another—the same way Rapey Rapesalot did.

Thank you so much for buying the sculpture titled Trailblazer, by Fred Darpino. By demonstrating such vision, you have ensured that we, the people of Colorado Springs, now own the very worst piece of public art in the entire world (perhaps the universe!). Carpe diem, Coz! Keep reachin’ for the middle!
