A Witch that should be Burned

I think Leslie Wallace should be put to death and frankly, I wish the State of Florida would provide for a burning at the stake in this and similar cases. Organizations such as Michigan’s Convocation do not agree. They seem to think that violence and condoning of violence is always a bad thing. In the case of Michigan’s Convocation, I was scheduled as an Honored Guest, contracted (all be it verbally). But when they heard a rumor that I might be planning some sort of simulated violence in a ritual conducted at another event; they canceled my contract, canceled my merchant tables (thus costing me about $2,000.00 in sales) and personally insulted me; effectively stating that I am beneath them by pointing out that their mission statement says that they do not condone violence. So I thought I would take a moment to point out that although I do not the protest I conducted against Gavin and Yvonne Frost’s book The Good Witch’s Bible, something I think is a pedophilic instructional, was an encouragement to commit violence. I certainly do encourage violence. In fact, I think it is the birthright of all parents to kill in order to protect their children.

In short, like my Pagan and Heathen ancestors, like the true teachings of the Ancient Pagans; I say there is nothing immoral or unethical about killing people who simply need killing. In fact, if not for the what seems like the complete incompetence of our legal system to convict people only when their guilt is beyond a reasonable doubt, I would vote for the death penalty when ever given the opportunity. I would ENCOURAGE the state to not only commit the violent act of taking human life, but to increase the amount of pain that such an action would inflict. Consider Leslie Wallace.

This Wiccan woman had issues with her children. One of which was a born again Christian. Although the newspaper clipping is no longer available online, the News-Press of South West Florida reported that Leslie Wallace tried to smother one of her children with a pillow. After he fought back, her son James told his mother:

“That wasn’t nice, Mommy.”

After his own mother attempted to smother him to death, the child told the mother that doing so was not nice. The mother reacted by retrieving a shotgun and pointing it at him. He begged and pleaded for his life.

“No, Mommy, no!”

She pulled the trigger and reportedly “put a hole in the boy the size of a baseball”.

“That wasn’t nice, Mommy.”
“No, Mommy, no!”
BANG
Silence

But that wasn’t good enough for this Wiccan mother, reportedly a member of a fertility religion. Instead of being horrified by the death of one of her children, by the body with the gaping hole now on the floor of her home. No, this woman had more planned. She then took her shotgun and drove New Wine Ministries in North Fort Myers, where she had hoped to gun down her other son, 16 year old Kenneth. There, she fired at him but missed. In what many call an act of divine intervention (I tend to agree), the shotgun blast was mostly absorbed by the thick bible he held.

Evidently, Leslie Wallace did not realize the bible had caused the shotgun blast to the chest of her son Kenneth to become non-lethal because rather than finishing off the job, she moved on to her third intended victim; her son Gregory at a local Pizza Hut. That attempt also failed. This time, she did not get off a shot because the doors were locked and the employees there were hesitant to let in a crazy woman with a shotgun.

Leslie Wallace was then critically wounded by Lee County sheriff’s deputies in a gun battle. I do not know how the story ended or if it ended. At the time the story broke, prosecutors said they wanted the death penalty. I am with prosecutors, but I think lethal injection is entirely too good for this monster. I think she should be put down in the most painful way imaginable. The most painful way I can imagine to die is by fire, so I say burn the witch!

Guess what! It is the very nature of my country that I have that right. I have the right to encourage all legal actions. Voting yes on the death penalty and encouraging others to do so is perfectly legal. Additionally, encouraging people to use violence against people who would harm their children is perfectly legal. In fact, there are rather clear laws saying you may use lethal force to defend your yourself, your children, your family, and in many states even the life and bodies of complete strangers.

Does Convocation have the right to define their own set of ethics and morality? Of course they do. But I think that arbitrarily condemning violence is not only weak, it is the downfall of a free society. So it does not surprise me that in they choose to use their mission statement which states that they do not condone violence, in an effort to stifle the freedom of expression of another. You see that is what is really at the core of the matter. People attempting to force their sense of morals and ethics on others. I am not intimidated, so I am punished.

The thing is, I get to define my sense of morals and ethics. I choose to accept the age honored pagan and heathen tradition of using violence when it is necessary, of encouraging my governing body to administer it when my sense of morals and ethics calls for it, and when it is appropriate. More over, I encourage others to consider my views and adopt them as their own if they so choose & that makes me a threat to their sensibilities and the sensibilities of others who want to perpetuate the idea that violence is arbitrarily immoral or unethical.

I encourage violence when appropriate. Do you? Or do you think that a home invader is welcome to your daughter’s virginity?

On a closing note, if my wife had conducted herself as did Leslie Wallace I would kill her in as vicious a way as I could imagine at the time. If I had conducted myself, as did Leslie Wallace, I imagine my wife would do the same to me. I would welcome such and I imagine my wife would as well. I doubt there is a court in the land that would convict a spouse for such actions as they would be so very clearly instinctual. Know thyself.
