             DAHMER KILLING SHOULD TEACH CONGRESS A LESSON

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, Jeffrey Dahmer killed 17 people. He 
skinned his victims. He cut up their body parts. He even ate their 
flesh. For that crime, Jeffrey Dahmer was granted three square meals, a 
law library, and a cable TV. Ladies and gentlemen, not any more. A 
bunch of prisoners in Wisconsin got tired of waiting on the Supreme 
Court for term limits. Jeffrey Dahmer was beaten to death.
  This case, Mr. Speaker, clearly depicts the weaknesses of the 
American justice system. Jeffrey Dahmer should have been sentenced to 
death by a jury, not by a bunch of thugs in a prison.
  Let there be no mistake, Americans are fed up with a Congress that 
coddles killers, forgets about their victims. And this is certainly not 
a day to celebrate such a brutal killing. But the truth is, Jeffrey 
Dahmer earned it, he deserved it. ``Good night, sweet Prince.''
  Congress should learn from a bunch of prisoners who provided some 
justice in America.
