See how much easier things are when you do what you're told?

What a sad pathetic country this will be when right or wrong we are forced at gun point to do what we are told.

Personally I'm against the death penalty for anyone, and I can just tell by looking at his photos that Dylann Roof is mentally disturbed in some way. I see his action as a manifestation of racial hatred that's been cooked up by the media since Obama was elected. Not to say he's not responsible of course, but I just don't feel like killing him would help advance social justice and many of his victims' families don't want him to die.
I don't care if he is mentally disturbed or otherwise. He is a danger to society and he has got to planted six feet under.

What exactly will be accomplished by ending this man's life? Lock him up and throw away the key.

i think all state should do it, open up a express lane, a couple a day should clear the calender. need to add some extra crime to the list too, like rape, and crime with a gun, tax evasion, drug crime, all drug crime, even possession, and also driving too slow in the fast lane. I would also add the mental and any kid over 14

At this point Life in Prison would be cheaper on the tax payer then the death penalty. They can always send him to Git-Mo, but he could get back out since its a catch and release operation.

It's already a sad pathetic country. Look at our President.

I have no sympathy for people who try to take matters into their own hands by screwing around with cops.

The police are not always right. Its also sad that you would have no sympathy for people that the cops do wrong.

I understand that police are not always right. But that doesn't mean it's OK to act stupid. I don't care what race one is -- get cute with cops and you'll see what happens. You just don't do crap like that.

Being right isn't acting stupid.
