Child
Rapist and Murderer May Be Facing First Case of Medieval Justice in Decades
For
those of you who haven’t heard who Benjamin R. Taylor is yet then you’re not
missing out on much, just a guy who’s made a name for himself by being one of
the most heinous human beings alive. This is a man who beat and raped an infant
child to the point where even medical professionals weren’t successful in
saving the baby’s life. The West Virginia police officers who initially
responded to the scene have since stated it was one of the worst cases of
sexual assault they’d ever seen.
The
baby was initially found bloody and bruised, laying on the basement floor
beside Taylor shortly after her mother woke up for work at 5 a.m., stumbling
across a scene no parent could ever even imagine having to deal with. Police
and paramedics were called to the scene and when they arrived discovered Taylor
attempting to wipe a red substance off of his genitals, which turned out to be
10-month-old Emmaleigh Barringer’s blood. Taylor was immediately taken into
custody and little Emmaleigh was transported to a hospital in Charleston where
she would die from her injuries just a day and a half later. After that
Taylor’s charges were upgraded to include murder, though it turns out he could
be facing much more than that.
A
man known only as J.R. Has created a petition on Whitehouse.gov asking the
state of West Virginia to denounce their death penalty abolished 50 years ago
in a special case for Taylor, except the petition calls for a public execution
by hanging. In the petition J.R. States:
“Prison
is too good for child rapists and their ilk… When it’s an open and shut case
such as this, let us hang these creatures publicly. Let us make examples of
them, and allow the American people to attend these hangings so that the
accused may be ridiculed, as they should be.”
Only
100,000 signatures are needed before the administration is forced to respond
with a decision whether or not this course of action would be appropriate, but
the one thing most people do agree on is that this is a case that deserves more
than just jail-time. Monsters like this should not be forced to live under
taxpayer dollars, but the moral question here is “do those in cases such as
these deserve to live at all?”
