Sorry, I think that his death is punishment enough. No need to lower ourselves as fellow human beings when we administer the death penalty.

A prisoner about to be executed in Colorado some years ago was denied a cigarette b/c the prison was a "no smoking" facility. That was ridiculous IMO.

Despite everything you've seen on TV, a syringe full of air is not likely to kill a person.

I also agree with pommysmommy about treating people with dignity.

National: Death by firing squad highlights old execution method



My question is .... would liberals deny this man a cigarette because smoking, and second hand smoke, is dangerous?


It wouldn't surprise me.
I heard he had also requested a cowboy hat and boots made from baby seal and dolphin skins and snowy owl feathers in the brim.

Nonsense.

Every human should know if you kill another human, death is to be expected of you.

Spare me the bleeding-heart ideology.

Can't wait for Rahm Emanuel and Hillary Clinton to chime in, and make some absurd asinine comment.

These idiots just don't get it.

If you're a terrorist .... well we'd just better be all nicey nicey.


That's what Democrats bring to the table.

Look up the definition of sociopath. Try not to become one under the guise of righteous indignation.

I've always wanted to be on a firing squad. What a great way to go. I have to say that "mad dog" could start a trend.
