Just when I thought this (in
Just when I thought this (in my hometown, no less) was the most disturbing thing that had happened all week, the story above is equally disturbing. God help the victims of these unspeakable crimes, and their families.
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry your community has to endure that.
That humanoid will meet the same fate Jeffrey Dahmer did as soon as he gets to the pen. Guys that are locked up don't relish the thought of waking up with some dude gnawing on their leg.
"The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open."
Yep!
Just when I get my anti-DP on, here comes some piece of walking, talking dog shit that needs to marched out into the street, shot in the head and hung from the nearest...uh....bridge.
It's not only us either. This kind of shit gives the anti immigration people one hell of an argument when it comes to third world people entering this country.
What a terrible thing. :(

View from the right
So long as the kids weren't aborted, then all's well, eh?
How perverted can a parent be as to take his frustrations with his wife out on the children? I know, I know, it happens all the time but at least they normally don't kill them!
Oh, now, everybody settle
Oh, now, everybody settle down. He'll get the death penalty, and everything will be OK.
I'm kinda surprised...
that Randy posted this...Not taking a shot at him but he doesn't seem to be oh...a die hard crime observer..if I can use that analogy. Certainly he didn't seem that way when I posted about the Johnia Berry case.
I'm a liberal and I use to be against the death penalty, mostly because it has been used in southern states in an unfair racially discriminatory fashion...But since I have read a lot about serial killers and people who killed children my views have changed and I now support it.I do wish murder was a federal crime as I don't believe states can be trusted to enforce it properly...rich and wealthy whites get manslaughter or less while poor minorities get the death penalty even if they weren't active participants..were just present when the murder occured...that still happens much too often for me to feel comfortable with the implimentation.Still there must be justice for the victims hence I support it with reservations.
I feel that...
I don't oppose the DP because of the death involved. It's not a moral dilemma for me. Some people need killing, it's better for us and them. I just don't trust the state to sponsor it. As you stated, particularly in places like Texas, citizens that have not committed the crimes they were accused of have been executed. As long as District Attorneys are elected officials with career aspirations, the capital punishment system cannot be trusted and therefor, should be abolished.
But when something like this transpires, like our author, I become very conflicted.

So, if I have this right,
So, if I have this right, yall are saying that gently easing one man out of this world by having him go to sleep and not wake up, is adequate recompense for the senseless slaughter of 4 innocent children, aged 3 months to 3 years. That is what you are saying, right?
Well, yall are likely angry and disgusted so, I will not comment on the idiocy inherent in such a statement or implication. Yes, administering the 3 drug cocktail will most likely ensure that the gentleman never again commits that crime. It will insure that other mother's minor children are safe from him. But that is all it does. If you people would just use words like they actually have meaning, you would never refer to it as anything other than "insurance of no future crimes". It cannot possibly adequately penalize the individual for the pain and suffering caused among the direct and indirect victims.
I suggest that you calm down, take a deep breath or ten before you post on such an infuriating subject.
If you must support the "death penalty", perhaps you would consider inflicting it on those who would deprive the poor and indigent of the mental health care that they need in the name of lower taxes and/or higher profits.

This might be about mental disease or retardation, CAFKIA, but let's not assume facts yet in evidence. Let's assume it's the bastards and the humanoids, and kill 'em before the facts get in the way.
Heh
Had you missed the point any further it would have to turn around and come back to get you.
We're talking about mixed emotions and duality.
Geeze...
