Because we have relegated the responsibility of our judicial system to a single individual this isn't the wild west.

Apparently he was not a fan of Obama, but also NOT a Republican. He listed his political affiliation as "unaffiliated"

Quote:
A neighbor of his trailer home told Buzzfeed news that the suspect once gave him anti-Obama pamphlets.saying that the president was ruining the country.

A lot of chastened, embarrassed progressive-left came to the same conclusion on these pages. Now they want to talk up the next leftist god, after the public saw the dark side of yet another one of their selections.

Michael Brown was also allowed to surrender and cooperate with the police, but clearly chose not to. As such, he brought his fate on himself. Clearly, this insane guy Robert Dear behaved more wisely than Michael Brown did.

This should be regarded as a "teachable moment," for those that have the capacity to learn.

He didn't try to assault officers. He tried to KILL them and did KILL one as well as 2 civilians. Others were shot.

Guess you feel it is more wise to go on a shooting spree.

Could we let the bodies cool before piling them up and using them as a lectern to preach wide-eyed conspiracy theories?

Obviously, white Christians are a threat to our safety and incompatible with our western values of freedom.

By the way, as a white Christian, I deplore all acts of violence that is meant to terrorize as in the Planned Parenthood shooting yesterday. I pray for the victims and their families and friends.
This has nothing to do with Christians, white or otherwise. How come you aren't talking about black Christians, or Hispanic Christians, or Asian Christians? Where were the statements of condemnation from white atheists when nine black Christians were murdered in Charleston? Instead all we heard was calls to get rid of a flag.

Reading the news about what his neighbors said....I think the guy just isnt all there. I dont think its correct to attribute his actions to any political party.

Sooo....what do people think, is he getting the needle?
Colorado has only executed one person since reinstatement of the death penalty in 1977. If he is found to be mentally competent, imo, he is a good candidate to be #2.
