The Josef Fritzl case has come to an end, thank God. It was impossible to hear how he had imprisoned and raped his daughter for 24 years and fathered 7 children from her. What this woman had to endure is unimaginable. To go through all these pregnancies while looking after her previous children, with no medical or nursing care, no pain relief or anyone to help after childbirth is impossible to fathom. Her own father is also the grandfather of her children. All these thoughts induce such a sense of rage, disgust and nausea that I have tried not to hear or read anything about the case. Then we are told about how the AIG executives, who bankrupted the company, have paid themselves over $ 160 million in bonuses with taxpayers' bailout money. On the surface there is no similarity between Fritzl and all the executives who are accepting huge bonuses, buying luxury jets or going for luxury holidays with bailout money but similarity there is. All these people show a complete lack of shame, honour or empathy that Fritzl is accused of. They think that they are somehow superior to others which entitles them to do whatever they desire without any need for explanation or accountability. Fritzl tortured one person but these people are responsible for the misery of millions. They seem completely oblivious to families losing their homes and having to live on handouts. They lack humanity just like Fritzl. They are all psychopaths and should be locked up with him.
