Sometimes I find a "feel good" story in the paper....not often, mind you, but sometimes.

Sometimes I find a "feel awful" story in the paper.....unfortunately, more often.  If we're to rate those "feel awful" stories on a 1 to 10 scale, Mr Vickery's story is up there at 8 or better.  There are few things I can imagine worse than trying to drown your Grandmother in a toilet....it reads like a very, very sick joke.  

Unfortunately, there are individuals for whom long term (make that the longest term possible) incarceration is appropriate. .... not for rehabilitation, not for punishment, but simply to protect the rest of society from their actions.  From all the information this story presents, Isiah Vickery is such a person.
