And even murderers eligible for parole almost never get it granted - not since Willie Horton. Coulda woulda should doesn't help Christoper. I am very much in favor of life sentences - as long as they are true life sentences. This monster should never have been released. Yes, his crime was heinous. That doesn't change the moral calculus of whether it is right to kill people. It isn't. He tortured his second victim, and raped him. Would you sentence him to torture? Would you sentence him to rape? If those things aren't right, why is the killing part right? Because it satisfies your rage? He deserves to be dead. It really is that simple. I wouldn't cry if he was tortured and raped. He showed no mercy to Tara Sue or Christopher. My Mom was Tara Sue's parents friend - my brother knows her brothers. I went to highschool with Christoper's Mom. My best friend's sister went to school with Buss - was in his class when he killed Tara Sue. These people are very real to me. Personally, I would have let Randy Huffman hunt him Buss down once he was released, like Randy wanted to do. But the cops put a watch on Huffman until Buss was out of town. Had Randy taken care of the situation, Christopher would be alive. -L. |
