A fricking Robbery!

They sound like cowards to me...killing people so they wouldn't be caught stealing. Sigh....heartless, ignorant idiots.

Two words....TARGET PRACTICE!

You know doc, I guess I'm the original "flip-flopper" cause I wobble back and forth between wanting and not wanting
the death penalty in all states....

there was a young gal up here killed, dismembered, and burned a few years back. The killer had been in prison before
for sex crimes and has a lengthy record for sex crimes using a knife...

His kind, once there's irefutable proof, belongs in a gas chamber!

Killing 7!!!! people......why house them and feed them?
I know, our religion.......I wish we could ship them off to some place where they couldn't get away from, like a frozen artic waste land
where they'd be stuck for life...

We had something like that happen here a few years back. They killed 5 people and injured one in a botched bank robbery, and later it was discovered that one of the 4 robbers had "practiced" on his roommate, whom was found murdered and dumped in a ditch 2 months later. The day after the robbery, an officer committed suicide because he had pulled them over just prior to the robbery and didn't arrest them, all in all, 7 family's were torn apart due to their actions.

Do I think the death penalty is appropriate? Not really, I think that they should be tortured, Death is to good for them, an easy out. Photos of the bodies should be pasted all over their jail cell, with pictures of the children left parent less. Living and being forced to face what you have done, is soooooooo much more torturous than knowing that soon, you won't have to face it anymore. If the person shows no remorse for what they did, then they should just die a slow death, I don't believe in lethal injection, if they are going to be executed, it should be painful. They sure didn't make sure their victim got a painless death. But that's just my 2 cents.

Why are you all so against the death penalty? I especially have a problem with those that believe it's ok to abort but not use the death penalty on these people that have taken another's life. If anyone deserves to die it's people like these.

I think once you have taken another life (outside of self defense) you have lost all life priviledges. That's it.

It all comes under sanctity of life.

Sorry Guy.

The idea of killing people for material things is just sooo sick to me, I don't even have words for it. While I have nothing but the utmost respect for life, or maybe because I do, I believe if there is good solid PROOF that a person or persons committed such an act, the death penalty is the only just penalty for them.

I'm not against the death penalty at all, but I do think it's an easy way out instead of facing what you did and having to live with it, day after day. For those with no remorse, kill em, they won't face what they did ever. They will only cry for their own life, but the worst punishment is being forced to live when death is what you want, being forced to face your actions when you want to forget what you did.

I believe in punishment for the deserving. Think of this, would it be worse to live with what you did and face it everyday with no end in sight, or die, by someone else's hand and never have to face what you did again (depending on your beliefs). Death penalty is a must, and there should only be 1 appeal, no more, and the execution should be swift and have some pain involved. Ok, so I'm a bit of a sadist.

The problem with this is that "most" people that do this kind of stuff don't care one way or the other. And "if" they don't care, living with it isn't a problem. Just ask Charlie Manson.

They are the lowest form of pond scum!  NOw they are saying that one of the people that were killed in the other family was an accomplice to the Harvey Murders!  Well, when you lay down in crap, you get up stinking of it, so I cannot say I am sorry for her, just her parents whose only mistake was in not punishing their daughter enough growing up.

Two words....TARGET PRACTICE!

That is one reason I dont own a gun.  IN the heat of the moment, I am afraid I would use it.

I have said before I am not a Michael Dukakis.  But once the pain and realization subside, and I regain my composure, I then realize that killing them for their crimes is not justice.  Making them sit in an 8x10 cell for the rest of their lives thinking about what they did, is far worse.  I dont want them in the General Pop.  I want them in solitary until the day they die of natural causes.

Exactly!  The showed no compassion for their victims, they should rot in a cell for the rest of their life.

I agree with most of what you say, but then I also believe that it is not our right to decide who lives and dies.  We must wall them off from society as they have clearly demonstrated an inablity to live within it, but the decision of life and death belongs to God, not man.  No matter how much they richly deserve it.

I dont condone robbery, but killing someone in the act of robbing a bank or a liquor store is one thing.  This is far worse as there was no reason to kill any of them!  Take their stuff, tie them up and leave!  They were not armed, and the bacteria were in complete control of the situation from the start..  There is no difference in this killing and premeditated ones.

Yes, make them live with what they did.  But for those with no remorse, they are insane.  Put them in a rubber room for the rest of their lives! In a straight jacket!

And "if" they don't care, living with it isn't a problem. Just ask Charlie Manson.

Unfortunately true.  So if they dont care, they must be insane (as determined by societal norms), and then you have to restrain them.  For the rest of their life.  They may not have any remorse, but I doubt they would like being in a straight jacket, spoon fed for the rest of their life!

Don't go there doc.....Timothy McVeigh was "not" deemed mentally unfit (crazy). But did he "ever" state any remorse for what he had done? Not that I'm aware of. And they justly put his butt to death for his crimes. Now Charlie on the other hand "is" crazy! And restraining prisoners for that length of time is against the law. Either they put them in solitary, or they "drug" the spit out of them. Which is "what" they do to Charlie. My wife's ex-husband and I became friends and he was a prison guard (now he's a parole officer) who has watched over Charlie and taken care of him.

It's called restraint doc. And anyone owning a firearm must have and use it. I carry concealed all the time. If I didn't have any there would be a "bunch" of dead people. I don't miss my target very often.
