I think letting them rot in jail is far worse punishment than putting them to sleep.

people have been so quick to scream guilty at these men that there is no way they are going to have a fair trial.

furthermore, what gives anyone the right to take away the life of somebody else?

There's nothing to be biased about here. If they prove, w/o a shadow of a doubt, that these two pulled the trigger, they should die, period.

You might feel differetnly if it was your wife/husband/child that got blown away for no reason at all.

Ornery. Calm down. People like you give fvckwads like this more attention than they deserve and by getting so damn riled up about it, you're giving them exactly what they want. Go outside, get some air, whatever. Just quit having a hissyfit.

  • NO!
You mean the bleeding heart cops won't be too happy being lumped in with their blood thirsty brethren?

There are many times when cops catch up to someone, breaking the law, like Rodney King. No doubt they would LOVE to dispense justice themselves, but have to turn them over to the system. In the Rodney case, I'm sure the police would seek the beating penalty!

Heheheh, not much gets by you, huh bright-bulb? At least the THEORY of "God" or "omnipotent & omniscient being" has a bit of credibility...and just a few believers around the world. Gandalf has oh...three or four guys here at AT that believe he's real.

I'm not religious, so I don't give a hoot one way or another, actually.

Oh. In that case -

"Thou shalt dispatch thy villians of society by a means of great suffering and torture, such as public stoning by the families of the victims."

Sounds fair to me.

We'd just shoot them. When no one was looking (or when no one that would *say* they were looking was looking).

wtf is up with you people who have a hard time with reading comprehension? First, I have not said I am against the death sentence in this case. I am in favor of it. Second, if you can't see that the poll is biased, you don't know what the word means.

i'm sorry, as a bleeding heart i believe they should not die.

i'd rather they have their balls roasted slowly using nothing more then a bic lighter. you'd need to put a heat shield around the non ballsack skin so you could sew up the area after the nuts fall away. then a strictly enforced life sentence of salad tossage.

death is what they want, 72 virgins remember?


and your poll is a pos.

these are macho women hating women beating knuckle draggers. islamic fundamentalists inferior view of women really appeals to such morons. would be far better to take away their beloved manhood and torture them that way. take away their manhood, their power, their dignity.

I don't think they're misguided, however, I'm not sure they should die.

Which part of "Thou Shalt Not Kill" does not apply to you?
