Beyond Belief
Oct. 8th, 2004 07:04 pmThe news today confirmed that some people really are nothing ... brutes.
The British hostage, Kenneth Bigley, was beheaded today, joining his two equally innocent civilian American companions.
I can't say anything nice or polite as to the evil bastard who planned these people's abductions and murders. I suspect their fates had been dictated for them since Day 1. There was no way any of them were going to be allowed to go home. I have a suspicion they were dead the day of their capture: these bandits taped them, then murdered them, within hours, then just released the tapes bit by bit to prolong the agonies.
Ken Bigley's mother collapsed and had to be taken to hosital, the stress on her was that much. These murdering filth probably took pleasure in terrorising a helpless old lady. Hardly the actions of a follower of Islam, eh?
Ken Bigley's home town, Liverpool, is not too far from where I live. I like going there regularly. My family has roots there.
Today, the place is in mourning. It's a moment akin to the Hillsborough tragedy, the murder of little James Bulger ( a two year old battered to death by ten year old children) and the death of John Lennon. The whole city is turning out to mourn and grieve one of its own.
As to how I feel about this atrocity ... at this point, I am speechless.
