I would only need one.

I would only need one.

What fun is that? Too humane!

Not saying it to be a dick and I won't get into it too much, but I don't like capital punishment under any scenario in which the person doesn't pose a legitimate threat (he no longer does). It's not because I believe he deserves to live, or has any chance of ever being a decent person. Has nothing to do with him in fact. It's my libertarian streak that I think it represents an overreach of government power. I just don't like the idea that the government can decide to kill one of its citizens--except in the aforementioned scenario in which it must kill to protect (e.g. military or armed police).

he was found by a jury of his peers to be guilty and dangerous to society. Thats not the same as the government arbitrarily deciding to execute this man

Wondering, seriously...

How many could really pull the trigger to a man tied to a pole stuck in the ground?

Seriously? On a sub-human that was justly convicted of the heinous and cold-blooded murder of innocent defenseless people?

Once his appeals are completed, I'd consider it a public service.

Why spend ammo or feel the burden of killing someone?
Simply bury him alive.

Finally, some good news - burn in Hell you demented little motherfucker!

He stated that he will not file any appeals.

He also said he will not accept any from others either.

This is the sentence that he wanted. Glad he got what he wished for.

That sounds like contrition. Maybe a bit of a silver lining then, if one can exist in such a horrible situation. It's just awful. The whole thing is awful.

My brother lives in Charleston. He was downtown when the shootings happened. He was telling me how gracefully everyone behaved in the aftermath. The church leaders asked the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons to please go home- that they would handle it by themselves.

It's heartbreaking. So many lives destroyed.

This guy is perhaps the lowest of the low (child molesters being perhaps the only exception). Walks into a Church with people who were doing nothing but praying. Why he couldn't direct his rage at all of the other despicable assholes who deserve to die ruthless deaths (drug dealers, gang members, terrorists...you get the picture) I'll never understand. I say fry his ass.

And G-d will decide if it is sincere - I'm going with this:


Sorry, guess you have to follow the link to view. If you've watched "Man On Fire" you know what I'm talking about anyway.

Death sentence, M'erica still does that??

 

[fartgamer]

No remorse? die bitch, now!

I agree, and so does our judicial system that's what the 12 jurors are for, to represent the peoples will, not the governments. The prosecutor is asking the people to sentence the person to death. In death sentence cases the jury actually passes the sentence, not the judge. Although we have seen the people's will overturned before. In non death sentence cases the jury is only asked if somone is guilty or not and jury's have made suggestions on sentence but ultimately the judge decides the sentence.

I'll take it one step further I believe as a family member if you feel so strongly that somone should die for the crime they committed against your family member. You should be the one that has too throw the switch not hide behind an executioner.

More than 1 innocent man has been convicted by a jury of his peers...

but this scumbag is not one of them.

Fry him.
