So is there anybody here that still does not support the death penalty in certain cases? It's obvious this guy is insane and deserves to die for his crime. I don't know why the hell we waste taxpayer money and allow a guy like this to live while we pay for it. It's just asinine and makes me realize that stupid things like this are why our country's budget is such a mess.

I still don't suport the death penalty. Regardless of this particular case, there's too much fraud in the system to have it. Paying to keep this guy in jail for life is a small price to pay for not putting an innocent person to death.

Until the system is perfect, never happen, then I will not support executing prisoners.

So it's like Law Abiding Citizen but IRL? I can get behind that, this scumbag should have been killed after the guilty verdict came in.

I don't believe criminals who commit violent crimes against people should get time off for good behavior. But we keep letting them out. This guy should have to do the full 40 years, but on the 39th year 364th day of his sentence he dies from a mysterious accident.

Well if you're just going to kill him anyways, save us time and money, do it now.


I'm childless, but I'd do it. Fuck that guy. They can waste the tax dollars and jurors time finding out if I'm guilty of murder, they just need a coroner to figure out how I killed him.

I didn't even think of this... but is it even legal to publicly threaten to kill someone?
I'm pretty sure in this day in age, the guy being released from jail will press charges, a lawyer WILL take the case and the father will be arrested.

Heard on CNN from some lawyers that discussed this and they said b/c the murder is not in imminent danger b/c he's still in prison and not being released til August the father couldn't be charged for anything. If it was a week before his release, it might be different.

You know I can understand the sentiment, but if he really means to follow through on it, whyTF is he blabbing about it? Attention whoring idiot's going to get himself tailed and jailed.

Interesting. I imagine the killer has gotten word of this. He'll have some things to think about for the next six month.

There is no punishment that is suitable for that persons crime.

I can think of a few:

Let's see, start on day one. Cut off one testicle, force him to eat it.
Day 2: Remaining testicle.
Day 3: Penis.
Day 4: 1 finger.
Repeat every day with a different body part, cauterize each cut & apply sufficient antibiotics so that he doesn't get so ill he doesn't care.

Yeah, that sounds about right.
(Maybe slowly whittle away at him for 28 years, or until the Father dies.

Yes, this sounds horribly sadistic, but in reality, it will be much less painful to the perp than it was on the Father.

If the guy turns up dead after release, the po-po will be eyeing him mighty hard anyway. Maybe if he goes public loud enough, he can cast suspicions elsewhere if the the guy bites it.

Just a thought.

Edit: Heck, there are 50 possible suspects here alone.

REALLY?? So even if 100,000 people see a guy torture, kill, and eat someone else and can provide witness and testimony to it, you don't support the death penalty b/c the system is perfect or an innocent person could be put to death? You'd rather have a bunch of tax payer money feed this guy 3 meals a day and pay for him to read books, watch TV, and lift weights? Sounds like justice to me.......

I would not be opposed to that.

Correct. Because it wouldn't be limited to the cases when you've had 100,000 witnesses. That's the way it's supposed to be now, yet it isn't. We have entrenched fraud from police, prosecutors, and witnesses, as well as more mundane mistakes. I'm no right to lifer, and I'm all for eliminating people that need to be eliminated, but not at the expense of irrevocably taking an innocent person's freedom.

This reminds me of an old proverb. A man and a woman are sitting together. The man asks "Would you have sex with me for a million dollars?" and she replies "Yes I would." He then asks "How about $50?" The woman is upset. "Do you think I'm some kind of prostitute?" He smiles, "We've already established that. Now we're just negotiating a price."

Is there any time you think it's ok to kill someone? I'd argue it's ok to kill anyone who parks in my parking spot.

Yes. Because we can't make a legal distinction between being sure someone is guilty and being really, really, really, really sure someone is guilty.

Based on the number of innocent people on death row who have been exonerated, there is very little doubt in my mind that we have executed an innocent man. That is too high a price to pay for vengeance.

The cost argument is bunk. It costs more to execute a person than to keep him in prison for life because of the cost of appeals. And if you want to take those away, then we will definitely execute innocent men.

Yeah, and he'll be eyed all the more quickly since being a blabber mouth about it.

All I know is if I was ever (God forbid) motivated to the point of homicide I'd

1. Have a damn good reason.
2. Would not speak or write about it, even to myself.
3. Would seriously train and prepare, potentially for months or over a year.
4. Would buy everything for the one time use only, after which it would be burned/permanently disposed of.
5. Would put the Navy SEALs to shame in its execution and would leave zero implicating evidence.

And I would make sure it was cold. Granted the odds of my ever encountering a situation that motivates me to this extreme are thankfully minimal, but if you're going to carry it out you do it right and for the right reasons (revenge is secondary). And you don't sink to their level like the torture options a lot of people run their mouths about. That's where you mess up and that's where, instead of contributing something positive to the world, you get caught and end up in prison for the rest of your life, yet another drain on innocent taxpayers.

The problem with vigilante justice isn't the theoretical concept, it's that the people who usually try to carry it out aren't strong enough to do it correctly and are in it for revenge and attention as opposed to any rational notion of justice or public service.

Is it strange that my first thought was that you'd get around 11 million volunteers for that if you substituted "World of Warcraft" for "Lift Weights". :D


Hmmm.... I wonder what kind of bulk pricing the goverment could get on Red Bull and Hot Pockets?

victim's dad needs to watch all 6 seasons of dexter.

Was going to post along these lines.
