Dad threw 4 tots off bridge for revenge, police say

A man angered after a dispute with his wife confessed to tossing his four young children off a bridge, authorities said Wednesday as they searched murky waters for the bodies.

Lam Luong faces four counts of capital murder.

Lam Luong, 37, told authorities that he drove to the Dauphin Island bridge and dropped the children from a span that reaches 80 feet in places, said Detective Scott Rivera.

Missing and presumed dead were 4-month-old Danny Luong; 1-year-old Lindsey Luong; 2-year-old Hannah Luong; and 3-year-old Ryan Phan. Phan is not the man's biological child, but Luong raised him from infancy, authorities said.

Don Mill

No, simply because I don't believe (anymore) in the death sentence.

That said... we can move down to what to do with the guy...

My mom says people like this should be strung up by their nuts.

I have my reservations about over-use of capital punishment, but this is one of those cases where I just can't think of a more suitable punishment. He doesn't deserve to draw one more breath of air.

Well 2 options from this camp.

1: Bring Back Hanging

2: Burn him alive

I don't believe in capital punishment. However, in this case, he should be get life w/o parole and be sent to the general prison population. His life willnot be worth living and that punishment would be worse than death, I believe. Plus the other prisoners will take care of him.

GAWD this is just SICKENING!!!!

So you don't want the state to humanely kill him, but you don't mind if he gets shanked in the yard and bleeds to death?

I think this guy is beyond contempt and inhumane, but what does killing him accomplish for those four kids?

Sooz Pascale

Yes, that sums it up quite well.

Dnate Mars

That stance confuses me then. Is his life worth being allowed to live or not? If it isn't, why does it matter how he is killed?

Joshua Nightshade

Well at least you're honest.

Briana Dawson

I cannot read that article. The title alone makes my eyes fill with tears .

Kill him. Kill him. Kill him. And then kill him again and feed his corpse to maggots.

Kristian

Easier on the conscience?

This is Alabama. They have a death sentence, eh?

Cindy Claveau

For them, nothing. But from the standpoint of social justice it is the only punishment that even closely fits the crime. The "Dahmer solution" of letting other inmates beat him to a pulp with mop handles isn't much more than vigilante justice which in itself is anti-social.

It is the right of any society to punish the most egregious anti-social crimes with the most extreme punishment - if not as a deterrent, then simply as a way of permanently removing killers from the society.

Frankly, this guy makes me sad we don't flog and behead any more.

Allana Dion

I don't believe in state sanctioned murder, but this man does not deserve to ever have a normal life or ever be accepted among normal society. He should be reminded daily of his crime, forced to hang pictures of the children in his cell and never ever be permitted to forget why he is there.

Too unbearably sad.

I'm for the death penalty in cases like this, if guilt is certain.

For a number of reasons, not the least of which is other human beings deserve to have a sense of justice.

Is there some reason why we're trying to find a situation where everyone can agree on killing a person?

I personally find the "How Can We Justify a Hangin'" game pretty sickening. Not as sickening as child murders, but still.

I'm not justifying a hanging. He already did.

Asher Bertrand

I think in this case, the two could be combined.

Asher Bertrand

If he didn't care about those children then, what makes you think he ever will? He's not like you or I. That is the point. Unless there is some kind of psychosis involved, or some other rare thing going on like a drug reaction, he's missing what makes us human. I don't think what would be torture for you would faze him one iota.
