I have been contemplating how Christopher Dorner, if it is true that he died, experienced his last moments on earth. If he was burned alive as headlines suggest, how terrible it would have been for him to suffer the torments of a furnace of fire. I don’t know what it feels like to be trapped […]

Our postmodern culture posits there is no right, no wrong, and no ultimate justice. It’s the kind of thing serial killers live for.
