How about a search list for the victims?
That is what online resources should go to, NOT the sub-humans who committed murder!
neither rejoice nor cry
I don’t celebrate the death of criminals, nor do I cry for them. The death penalty is the only way I know of to insure that they will NEVER kill again. If we were to go back to stoning as a method for the death penalty, I would pick up my rock out of duty to the community but it would not be for joy or spite. The law is as it is to protect the rest of us from the lawless few.
awh i feel bad
not really, just remember this person took the life of a 77 years old man,what about his rights,instead of feeling remorse for the idiot who took his life,oh let me guess,rehabilitate,him not on my tax dollar.fact remains.most criminals wont be rehabilitated,so an eye for eye,thats how i see it.unless you bleeding heart type would feel to take in these individuals into your home for some rehab.yea lets see how long that would last,or even happen,but as most liberal thinkers do.they'll let the govt. or someone else worry about the problem.and not be a part of the soulution.my solution, clear out death row,
98 - 99 - 100...
Hmmmm,
Stoning is good! How many stones for a dollar?
I'll take three stones please.
i agree with 2 cents
This was the death of another human being and people act as if it's a ball game or something. Sure, what he did was deplorable and he absolutely deserved punishment, but the death sentence isn't the right way. Maybe I'm in the minority in my belief, but no man should have the right to kill another. To start calling for more is repulsive.
Civilized
Your still puting this man to death out of hatred and anger. There is nothing civilized about this. Why not just stone him to death or is that worse than other ways? How do you sleep at night. Thats not very christian.
Next
Who's up next? Lets clear out death row and make room for more! I dont understand how anyone can be against capital punishment. These scum bags need to go.
Eye for an eye.
100 is a good start, let's get this ball rolling.
It was just...
putting another rabid animal to sleep. Nothing more.
I thought I saw my lights flicker last night
Now I know why!
