Is your mind so limited, so devoid of any ability to comprehend nuanced positions, that you cannot understand that someone could wish for a dangerous person to be kept from society in some capacity, yet not killed in all of our names because we have decided that a civilized country should not kill its own, especially those operating at an intellectual level of that of a small child? No, of course you cannot. It must be that we regard him as a "hero." Speaking of the intellectual level of a small child, I may as well be debating my neighbor's dog.

I never understood the voyeuristic aspect of this. I can understand how a family member of the victim would be interested, but why would a stranger have a vested interseted in a execution. Seems like it would be a hate filled person looking for a reason to be angry

Afterall the evidence was reviewed o his CVLAIMby laywer of low IQ the courts includig the supreme court did not agree he fell under their order on incompetance under IQ. Doesn't take much of a IQ to read the courts ruling on it either.

There's something beyond that. Something narcissistic. There's a growing need for people to relate everything that happens to themselves. Perhaps you caught that in the Sandusky case, PSU students and even just PSU fans have taken to labeling themselves "victims" in the case. After the 9/11 attacks, people with no connections to the victims labeled themselves "victims." When some horrible case emerges and the pack of wolves starts howling that we should string up the accused or "If I got my hands on him, I'll tell you what I would do..." They're trying to make it about themselves. They move the focus from the victims to themselves.

Pathology of some kind undoubtedly.

Nah. I'd wait till he turned 18. Then I'd fry him.

Yeah nobody would ever tank an IQ test to try and avoid the death chair, lie to shrinks, do anything right. Your sorrow for this killer is as pathetic as your insults. Try again maybe you can do better. I'm sure he would too if given the chance. He won't get that chance now. Society 1, killer 0 in this one.

It depends on his history, if he's the sadistic type and has been all of his short life than yes.... FRY HIM UNTIL HE GLOWS

Teenagers start a lot younger now than in the past and are now not the sweet loveable children they were 50 - 60 years ago.

They are drug dealers, killers rapists and criminals and the faster we eliminate those types the safer society will be....

Things might change around once couples are married (man and wife) and provide a stable loving environment for their children, but as long as a woman has a parade of men in and out of her bed being nothing more than a baby factory to get more money from the government the children at a very early age will turn to their idols, the street gangs and their lifestyle...

In all honesty, the dregs, and I mean the absolute dregs of society, are the lowlifes who gather outside prisons to party when someone is killed by the state.

Gosh, those people love and value the "sanctity of life."
Well -- the reverse is actually true. The liberals who dance up and down everytime an innocent unborn baby is killed and insist that they should be killed because they don't have their full capacity, now insist that being less than full capacity should give them a free pass when they murder.
