Duluth, Minnesota 1920 You may see this as "horror" or you may see it as "righteous justice." But there is no getting around the fact that we used to view crimes like rape and murder with much more gravity and sobriety than we do now. Rapists didn't get parole and probation.

Every one of those men had a stake in whether or not murderers and rapists went free in their neighborhood and whether or not they looked weak to predators. Not so for anyone in the official system.
