    I am a white male age 59 and I find myself appalled that in this day in age any woman such as Megan Williams can be brutalized by kidnapping, torture and rape without hope of proper justice. It is my opinion that the scum that perpetrated this heinous act should be put to death, provided they are found guilty by a jury of their peers, I see no way that people who can conduct themselves in such a fashion should ever be allowed to reenter society. Our justice system , such as it is, will reduce any sentence and these people will once again be sprung on an innocent society to pursue their twisted mentality. Nothing short of the death penalty will keep these people from doing this sort of harm ever again. My heart goes out to Miss Williams and her family. I can only hope that they can recover and return to a normal life. The guilty must be made to pay if any of us hopes to pursue the life we have worked so hard for. If the current system of justice cannot at least support us, it is time for some radical changes in the governing body.I do not claim to know the answers, however when the criminal seems to have more rights than the law abiding citizen there is something radically wrong. Again my heart goes to this poor woman and her family.
