Excitable Boys

He took little Suzie to the Junior Prom
Excitable boy, they all said
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
After ten long years they let him out of the home
Excitable boy, they all said
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy

(Warren Zevon/LeRoy P. Marinell, Excitable Boy) 

The late Warren Zevon was, in my opinion, had an amazing ability to make strong social commentary while at the same time making that commentary enormously entertaining. Which is why I led this post with the catchy Excitable Boy, a song that harpoons the social apologists who excuse dangerous behavior until it metastasizes into monstrous behavior. It seemed to fit this particular news item.

LANCASTER, Wis. - A judge on Friday dismissed charges of attempted sexual assault against three men accused of trying to dig up a woman's body to have sex with the corpse, noting that Wisconsin has no law against necrophilia.

The men still face lesser charges.

Twins Nicholas and Alexander Grunke, 20, and Dustin Radke, 20, were arrested after an alleged attempt to dig up the body of a 20-year-old woman who was killed Aug. 27 in a motorcycle crash. Officials said a caller reported suspicious activity in the cemetery Sept. 2, and deputies found someone had dug down to her vault.

Authorities said the three were not acquainted with the woman but had seen an obituary with her photo.

One finds it difficult, no, make that impossible, to understand this kind of behavior. It is beyond the comprehension of anyone with anything approaching normal humanity.
