19 Year-Old Accused of Microwaving 2-Month old Baby (UPDATED)
 

What on Earth is wrong with some people? I am pretty unemotional toward a lot of crimes that are committed in this world (not lacking empathy, though), but this story just enraged me. What is the thought process that goes on in someone's head that he would put his own baby inside a microwave?!?
Stories like these just strengthen my anti-religious, somewhat pessimistic view of humanity. A two month old baby in a MICROWAVE!

Some people are batshit crazy. Thankfully, they make up a miniscule (albeit very noticable) part of society.

I don't get it. Okay, so you can't handle having a baby, fine. There are options. Take the baby and drop it off at the hospital, police department, firestation etc. Take the baby to a government agency. Or for god's sake, wrap the baby in a blanket, put it in it's car seat, stroller, whatever and go to a house that you see people in, leave the baby ring the bell and run. Make sure someone has the baby and leave!! There is no excuse! I'm not saying my above suggestions are appropriate, but they are certainly more humane than putting a baby in the microwave!! I am absolutely shocked at the stupidity of so many people. I really wish you had to have a license or something to have a baby and that certain people were banned from procreating, it's disgusting.

There will always be people who are mentally unbalanced... hopefully he'll get beat up every day he's in jail for the rest of his life, if someone doesn't kill him.

I hope he dies a slow and painful death and that the poor child recovers and gets a real parent.

Before someone chimes in about this shitstain "finally being able to get the help that he so desperatly needs"...I want to take a moment to declare no punishment too cruel and/or unusual in this case. Hopefully, getting beaten up in jail every day for the rest of his life, is the part of the day that he actually has to look forward to. It'll take his mind off of his stretched and bleeding anus.

That's harsh.


And I agree 100% :grumpy:

Maybe somebody makes a microwave big enough for an "adult" to fit into?

Wow, this makes me sick. How could anyone do this to another life? That poor baby, I hope that it grows up with no problems due to this, no scars or permanent damage.

And as far as him saying he had a message from God, I hate it when people do that because people tend to brand everyone who believes in God with the same brush. There are just as many insane atheists as there are insane Christians.

at least that baby is alive, this one article from last year wasn't so fortunate.

everytime you think that humans reach a new low, remember they can still get even lower.

this makes me think we everyone should be sterilized at birth, and have to get a license to breed. just saying...

Why?

Break enough bones...dislocate enough joints...he'll fit.

I entered this thread to defend the 19-year old woman, who I figured was clearly suffering from postpartum psychosis. Then I saw it was the father, not the mother.

Now I'm confused. You have to have serious mental issues to do this, right?

Sick bastard.

Hmm...

See, I just threw a bag of popcorn into the microwave... I don't wanna eat it now.

yeah....i don't even understand how that thought germinates in one's mind. he must be fucking cookoo...but...jeez. you hear about something like this, and you wonder what else he's done that he hasn't been caught for...i mean, do you go straight to baby in the microwave? that's just plain old fucked up.

this disturbs me

You'd have defended a person with suspected psychosis is it was a female but not a male?

Males are perfectly capable of being crazy.

Also, are you saying it's MORE crazy that the father did it than the mother? It's mental illness either way you slice it.

How....why...what the hell

This makes me absolutely sick to my stomach.

This shouldn't fuel anti-religious feelings, it should fuel anti-stupid people feelings! He obviously knew what he did was wrong, or he wouldn't lie about it to law enforcement. And to claim that "God" told him something - yeesh, put the bastard in jail with God-hating Bubba.

I could understand when, 30 plus years ago, people put their just washed pets in the microwave to "dry them off", because they didn't understand what "microwaves" actually were. But in this day and age - man, that's just inexcusably sick.

Book thrown by judge, I request.

I just still can't fathom this story. When I first read it, I got chills and an urge to drive to Texas, find this "human", and personally drive a rusty metal object into him.
There is just no excuse for this at all. No disease or condition can explain this. Even though I am not religious, the judge will certainly say at his sentencing, "May God have mercy on your soul."

I guess we can take some relief in the fact that even prisoners have morals and guys like these do not last long at all. Jeffrey Dahmer (I'm sure everyone knows who he is) survived one murder attempt in prison but was killed by the next attempt.

maybe the baby was cold

whenever my foods cold i just stick it in the microwave for a few seconds and wa-la its warm again











on a serious note though, that is pretty fucked up
what a dumbshit, you have to be mentally retarded to do something like that to your OWN CHILD

they should be working to have his head severed

Damn, you beat me to posting the update.

I thought the wife was a victim at first, but it seems now she is as big a dumbass as her husband is.

It is things like the comment above that give to cause to seriously reevaluate my position on forced sterilization. Some people just don't need to have kids...ever.

crazy finds crazy. i'd also be willing to bet dollars to doughnuts she's no stranger to the backside of a hand. with these things, it usually is a chicken or the egg thing in my experience; were they individually crazy and then hooked up, or did they just bring it out in each other. normally the person you're with should say 'you know that 'god talks to me in the blowdryer bit? yeah, that's fucking crazy. get some meds...' in this case, they say 'really? did he tell you whether we should microwave the baby?'

so, yeah. fucked up shizzle there.

Honestly, I have no idea, still. Even more so with the further update. I was just posting my initial reaction.

Well, she won't be the first (or the last, unfortunately) mentally ill person to blame the devil for her actions.

Well, now...that is a mighty convenient way to slough off responsibility.

"But...but...but, it wasn't me! It was...[scaryvoice]SAAATAAAN[/scaryvoice]

"Oh...well, then...OK. Not your bad."

sorry BOR I dont hear that in an Evil Voice hehehe I hear it in the Church Lady voice (Dana Carvey)

When was the last time the Higher Being excuse worked for anybody except the President?

this shit aint right, there are some really messed up people in this world

Update: Baby leaves hospital

Cut his dick off and leave it on the road.

watch the MythBusters, they made a microwave gun out of several microwave's innards!

that's extremely messed up.
call me a bleeding heart liberal and tell me that i am fucked up too if you like but i just don't get why people's reaction to stories like this is to inflict pain and violence - it isn't going to help. it's not like a kicking (or worse) is going to make the guy feel remorse, he might regret doing it because now he is suffering pain, but it isn't going to help his mental condition any. in fact i reckon it'll make it worse which is not a good thing for when he eventually gets released.
lots of the posts above have stated the obvious, that this guy is seriously mental ill, therefore he needs help or perhaps a better word for it is fixed - this guy needs fixed so that he doesn't do any more fucked up things to people and while he is getting fixed he needs to be kept away from the general public. vigilante violence is a predictable but a thoroughly missed placed response.

anyway i really hope that the child recovers fully and is given as much help as she needs to live a normal life away from her messed up parents.

f.

Well.. where was the daddy?
Pretty much the parents are to blame. oh course there are exceptions but.. :no:

Maybe not, but it would sure make me feel better. This guy is messed up in the head. He needs to be put to death. Not as a punishment but because he simply will never be well. We don't need to pay to house him for 80 years. We do NOT need to ever let him walk the streets again. And I can tell you as a matter of experience, deranged people are rarely happy. We would be putting him out of his misery as well I am sure. Put him down like a sick dog... and keep a close eye on the mother.

"Maybe not, but it would sure make me feel better"

mmmm BBtB not sure this is the kinda of sentiment that the judicial system is (or should be) based on! ;) that's what elimination reality television is for

What a dickhead.
