What is wrong with people?

Jarvis Duke is a scumbag. A low life scumbag. In Duke's case, it's difficult to find a word to satisfactorily describe him without using profanity. Maggot. Thug. One that's at least accurate, murderer. Duke was sentenced to 80 in prison today for the murder of Shaina Mersman. She was 18 years old. She was also 33 weeks pregnant. Her fetus also died.

According to the article, it was not only a senseless murder, it was also particularly cold and callous as it happened in the middle of the day in the middle of a street. Clearly, the judge did the right thing. But what struck me about the article was this:

And though Duke will be closing in on his 100th birthday before he is a free man, he stood up from the defense table, turned to the supporters behind him and smiled.

Some clapped.

A few hooted.

Several called his name.

The senselessness of the display befitted the senselessness of the crime.


Who would support this dirthole? For what possible reason? Because they're standing up for him? Standing beside him in his time of need? These people are as morally corrupt as Duke is. Who would support someone who murdered a person? What kills me . . . Duke got his. With any luck he'll become someone's b*tch and live forever in fear of being shanked. But these low lifes in the courtroom cheering Duke on . . . these are dangerous people. The type that will turn their backs on someone in need, have little respect for life, and would likely kill themselves for the dumbest of reasons. The only good thing, none are likely smart enough to get away with it.

Sad, pathetic, and disturbing.
