Often times we forget how scary the world we live in really is. We often do not think about those that walk the streets and shop alongside us at supermarkets. We forget that there are actually people who live amongst us that cause harm day in and day out to one of America’s most precious gifts: children.
On Wednesday, Robert Earl Armbrust of Odenville was sentenced to life behind bars without the possibility of parole. Why? Because of the rape of a 3-year-old girl. Again, that’s a 3-YEAR-OLD GIRL for those in the back that feel compelled to defend him and argue his sentence.
Earlier this month, Armbrust pleaded guilty to first-degree rape and two counts of sodomy.
According to reports, the crimes occurred several times between June and September 2016. Armbrust and his 39-year-old girlfriend were taking care of the 3-year-old girl who belonged to a friend who was ill. Chief Assistant District Attorney Lyle Harmon says Armbrust raped, sodomized, and sexually abused the little girl. Even worse, he reportedly photographed and took video while the horrific sex crimes were taking place.
Court records revealed that Armbrust had spent prior time in prison for methamphetamine convictions.
America, it’s time to get serious.
It’s time to get serious about who you leave your children with.
It’s time to get serious about how we handle such convictions.
It’s time to get serious about making examples out of monsters like Robert Earl Armbrust.
Armbrust is a wart on the face of humanity, one of which several would like to see removed.
The prosecutors in Armbrust’s case should be thanked for seeing to it that justice was served. That 3-year-old little girl will carry a life that is permanently shaken. I am thankful to hear that Armbrust will serve the rest of his natural life in prison; however, I am not so pleased that it will be at the Alabama taxpayers’ expense.
America should bring back the kind of executions that will have a lasting impact on those that are potentially thinking of carrying out evil. The children in America are worth more than what this 3-year-old little girl had to endure, and to think — the harrowing, torturous event was captured on photos and video, presumably for further sick purposes.
From the raping of minors to school shootings across our country, America’s children are the prey of sick and deranged individuals that we would sometimes never notice in our society if it weren’t for media coverage.
Children in America live in fear now. They wonder “Am I next?”
This is happening in Alabama, y’all. This isn’t Chicago or New York. This is Alabama! If you see something, say something. While I know that isn’t saying much, you never know when you could be the difference.
Enjoy Hell, Mr. Armbrust. You have a front row seat on the journey there.
The next perpetrator is out there and so is the next victim. It’s time for a change.
