if death penalties were carried out within the week or month of sentencing I would definitely support it, but dragging them on for so long makes it just stupid to be in place. I believe anytime a person commits first degree murder they should receive the death penalty.
He is a parapalegic,maybe not correct spelling,had collected full pay over $300,000 till maybe conviction.
How did he become paralyzed? I had to smh when I heard he was still collecting his pay. What a country but if you have been a hard working, tax paying citizen and born in this country and need help, forgedaboutit.
Do y'all seriously think he gives a rats butt about what he did? He's not marinating in guilt. He doesn't care. In the meantime we are paying for his three hots and a cot, which is more than most homeless people garner.
My only fear about executing him is that others like him will make him into a martyr. I don't relish having to have the taxpayers pay for his "storage and upkeep" for the rest of his life. He should be on bread and water as far as I'm concerned. I wish that the original shooter that paralyzed him had been able to "place their shots" better. We wouldn't be spending taxpayer money on him now.
Every report I could find shows that it is more expensive to keep a person on death row and execute them than it is to give them LWOP. I was of the same "I don't want to pay to keep him alive" mindset until I researched it. Surprised me.
I think he should be tortured and killed slowly on national television.. His corpse should be hung high in the center of a major city, rotting in the open air for all to see. This would send a message to other wannabe future martyrs. Then again, I am not of the Western mentality of compassion for cold-blooded killers, like so many are in this part of the world. We spend too much time sympathizing with those who maim, kill, rape and plunder and not enough time thinking of the suffering the victims had to endure.
There is zero doubt about his guilt - he cleared acted and took another persons life, no refuting that ... someone like that should be dead within a year with little fanfare ...... clean the books and move on
