The Face of EVIL

Charles Cullen is being sentenced Thursday to life in prison for 22 New Jersey murders and attempted murders of three others.

Cullen has pleaded guilty to a total of 29 murders and six attempted murders in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and has told investigators he might have killed as many as 40 people.

That's what this report says. I

I was struck by one of the things that was said in another article:

Thursday's hearing was the first chance for victims' relatives to confront Cullen in court, and about 60 appeared. Many were also hoping to hear Cullen explain why he committed the crimes, but his public defender has said that was unlikely.

Cullen, wearing a black sweater over a collared shirt, sat quietly with his arms folded in front of him after he was brought into the courtroom. As relatives of victims spoke, he kept his eyes closed, frustrating some of the relatives.

ME: There are people who must be labeled evil in this world. For those of us with a Christian worldview, that does not mean that they are worthless or inhuman. It means that they have become something that no human being is meant to be come. That is what causes us to recognize the evil that is in them. Shutting eyes and folding arms is the posture of one who says don't bother me with your petty emotions.

The question is what is society to do with these evil persons. This guy is probably the poster child for death-penalty advocates.
