As Jonah Goldberg said, Why We Have A Death Penalty:

PITTSBURGH — The father of a young girl who died of exposure had knocked her unconscious because he was angry she wouldn’t go to bed, then took her outside in freezing temperatures and left her there, police said before the man’s arraignment Thursday.

Nyia Miangel Page, who was about to turn 2, was found dead Sunday on a wooded knoll about a 10 minute walk from the family’s home. Tiny footprints in the snow suggested she had gotten up and wandered around before she died, police said.

Her father, William Lorenzo Page, 23, of Braddock, was arrested on charges of criminal homicide, kidnapping, false reports and simple assault.

I don’t know if Jonah has seen this:

Police this morning charged a 19-year-old with criminal homicide in the shooting deaths of a McKees Rocks couple.

Marcus Early, of Moon Township, was arraigned on two counts of criminal homicide, robbery and a weapons violation.

A relative found the bodies of Christina Law, 33, and Cardell Gary, 24, inside their McKees Rocks home yesterday afternoon. Their 2-year-old daughter hovered nearby, but was not injured, police and friends said.

A short rope and a long drop.

    The story about that child just broke my heart. Unbelievable.

    And in this case, I really don’t care if it’s not a humane punishment. Make it as painful as possible.

    I’ll continue to advocate my method of execution: strap the murderer in a chair, let in the family of the victim, and provide an assortment of blunt and sharp implements. Close the door and go to lunch.

    If they choose to be merciful, the murderer goes to prision for life with no parole. If not, a fire hose and bleach is provided for easy clean-up.

    But I’ve been told I’m a horrible, heartless person, so maybe this isn’t the best idea.

    I knew the victims. They were amazing and there beautiful baby girl will never know them now.

    Some people are just scum and live as an example of what to strive against.

    That is the only argument for there existence.
