This couple was doing a wonderful thing. But they were victims of a selfish person who in no way contribute to society and will always be a loser for the rest of his life. And yet if he's put to death we're supposed to feel some sort of moral outrage.

DAR is clearly a troll, seen here in the act of purposefully flame-baiting. He's full of crap when he claims he wants a real discussion with people. It wouldn't matter who replied or what they had to say, he'd have written the exact same comments regardless. DFTT.
