A Special Category


I read this article this morning in the Globe and Mail. I really believe that people like this desire a special category of punishment. I wonder why we moved away from shunning. This is such a despicable crime; stealing from old dying people. I have no idea the deep character flaw required to do such a thing. I am reminded of an episode of Star Trek TNG where Worf suffers the fate of the dishonorable. All the other Klingons turn their back on him and his family name is never to be spoken again (of course, Worf was wrongly accused and accepted "discomendation" to preserve the Empire). I think they are onto something, the Klingons, shunning the dishonorable. When these two are caught they should be publicly shamed, imprisoned for a very long time and then shunned.
