Our Justice System Needs to be Euthanized...

It seems that Jarod Loughner has plead 'not guilty' to the shooting of many, the murder of several, and the assassination/attempted assassinations of a couple. You see, this is my problem with the American judicial system. Well, I have many problems with it. I have served on a jury in a murder trial. I have seen the impossible standard the police are held to in proving certain things transpired. I have seen the dissolution of a case because of the incredible amount of time it took to simply get a hearing. It does not serve justice. It is actually rather sad. Granted, it is sad because, at some point, people started doing incredibly stupid things and other people decided that there ought to be some sort of justice for victims and perps. Perps like Jarod. You know, I don't care if he was or is insane. I don't care if he has an angle in pleading 'not guilty'. The credentials of his attorney (who managed to avoid death sentences for other mass murderers) do not impress me. This is a chance, like any other, for us to decide once and for all that this world is too small, and our lives and relations are too important, for us to stand aside and watch a long drawn out court battle where the 'rights' of Loughner are examined under the microscope. He does not have human rights. When a human takes the life of another human, and there is no possible way it was done for defense or self-preservation (as in this case), that person trades in their 'human' card. They do not get it back. Essentially, we are dealing with a young, strong, able-bodied beast which has no rights nor regard for those rights of others. I am not an advocate of the death penalty. It takes too long, it is a ridiculous waste of money, and we people make mistakes. What I am a fan of is forced labor, a lifetime of it, under the harshest conditions, wherein the state and those who exist by the grace of the state, are able to profit and prosper, however slightly, from the efforts of the laborer. Loughner is a 22 year old pack mule, and it is a crime to house, feed and clothe him while he sits and waits for a broken record to spin. I say put that horse to work. If he lames, you don't hold a conference on it; you take him out back and put him down. I would happily accept the same if I were guilty of a fraction of what this young man is.
