You'll never know when Retribution will COME

Do you think there's such a thing as retribution? In today's ST, I was quite upset with the report regarding the elderly being preyed on by a plump con-woman in her 40s or 50s. She posed as a welfare worker who knocked on their doors and invited herself to clean their homes. The part that disgusted me the most was that she preyed on those who lived alone and on a shoe string budget. One of the victims survives on the $360 he gets from public assistance every month! That sorry excuse of humanity (aka the con-woman) stole his $100 angpow, which he could have used to buy other daily necessities or treat himself to a better meal.

The elderly are frail and dependent on other people in society to take care of them. The last thing they need is someone to take advantage of their dependence. They have lived for so long and contributed much to society, they have experienced all the joys and crap that life has to offer. So treating them in such a manner, is just plain disgusting and reflects badly on one's morals. I hope that woman gets her just desserts; I trust karma to come around chewing her ass. Speaking of karma/retribution, have you guys watched the movie "Hard Candy"?

Its a pretty disturbing movie about a pedophile, Jeff, getting his just desserts. He meets up with this girl called Hayley that he chatted up with online. They engage in some flirtation and they go to his home to listen to his Goldfrappe concert recordings. Hayley mixes them some screwdrivers and before Jeff knows it, he passes out. When he wakes up, he finds himself bound to a wheeled computer chair, and Hayley reveals that she's not the 14year old girl that she said she was. She begins to interrogate him about his involvement with the murder and rape of Donna Mauer. Jeff denies it all and distract Hayley whilst he tried to get his gun. Unfortunately, Hayley predicted this move and quickly asphyxiate Jeff with plastic wrap into unconsciousness.

When he next gets up, he finds himself on a steel table with an ice pack over his nuts, listening to Hayley calmly informing him that he will be castrated for the good of humanity, so he could never prey on another innocent kid again. She sets up a video tripod aiming at his exposed genetilia and linked it to his kitchen TV, so that he can watch himself being castrated (is this evil of what). This is the castration scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMXed9Nvjfo Unfortunately, I can't embed it. Guys, you might get a litte uncomfortable especially when you hear the sound of Jeff''s testicles going into the garbage disposal (for those of you who don't know what it is, its a grinder that most Americans have in their sinks to chop up their rubbish into small bits) after she's done with the castration.

If you watch the full movie, you'll learn that he wasn't really castrated. She just used a clothes peg to clip his testicles to give him the sensation of pain and played a medical video of a castration op. Lord knows where she got the testicles that she dumped into the garbage disposal unit.

The moral of this movie is- you don't know where or when revenge will come nor what form it will take. Ultimately, restribution came in the form of Hayley who convinced Jeff to commit suicide using a combination of guilt and stress.
