and he was tried and convicted and sentenced to death. If his execution was televised, would you watch?




I would not.
 
People that need to see blood should have gotten their fill over the past few weeks.

No need for more.

Let him rot.
 
Have to agree with paul. I would rather him sit in a jail cell for the rest of his life being basically in hell knowing how many people he killed.
 
It costs a tremendous amount of taxpayer dollars to incarcerate someone for life. Personally, I'd rather see that money spent on law abiding citizens who value human life.




































Fry the bastard, or get out of my way and let me do it.

I have to agree with you TWF. But, I don't need to see his execution.
 
I wouldn't want to watch it but I believe that's what he deserves.
 
I agree with Paul, let him ROT in jail regardless of taxpayer $$.

Other inmates will torture him to the point well beyond insanity!

To watch an execution, NO WAY.

They spend more money per year, per inmate, than I make in a yr. If I've got cable, computer, electric, blah blah, blah and it costs me less, why does it cost so much to house just one ? Also, as long as he sits in jail, he gets a weight room, cable tv, heat, a/c, electricity, schooling etc. I have to pay for ALL of that stuff and he'll get it free. If Prisons today were like they were before a/c and cable tv, where most their time was spent alone or working on a chain gang being somewhat productive, I would say let him rot. As it is, I say put him in SOLITARTY one yr for each victim and then fry him, and no I wouldn't watch it. (stepping off soapbox)

So, by that logic jails and prisons are a waste of tax dollars?

What should we do? Let criminals out into the streets?
 
Because no one has to be paid to watch you 24/7. Because no one has to provide medical benefits, insurance, paid time off, hazard pay, training, equipment, holiday pay, or overtime to watch you. Because the location of your residence doesn't have bullet proof booths, video cameras, a medical ward, guard towers, electric fences 20 feet high topped with razor wire.

I guess some people think all that stuff is free. It isn't. We as taxpayers buy it.

This sociopath seems to think that human life isn't worth much. In his particular case, I happen to agree.

Fry him, or get out of the way and let me do it.

I don't think jails and prisons are a waste of tax dollars. They have their place in our criminal justice system. People who commit crimes need to be punished. However, some crimes are so horrendous that jails and prisons are just not enough have justice served. Someone like this sniper (and any and all accomplices) fall into this catagory.......it would be a waste in this case since no justice would ever be served by housing this person for 20 to 40 yrs (or more). Excecution, is an alternative...and in my opinion, not really true justice either since it's letting the criminal off pretty easy by "humanly" ending his life. I can think of some ways to exact justice on someone like him, but it would never be accepted by civil society.........so execution is the only way left.


But, I wouldn't watch it.
 
I don't like the fact my tax dollars go to house criminials so they can have a gym, excercise yard, tv, books and just about anything else they request for their "comfort" Why should they, who have broke the law, live better than some law abiding citizens do? They are in there to be punished, not pampered! And yes, I think he should as TN-Ward said--fry. He didn't care about human life, so we shouldn't care about his. The families he affected don't get a second chance to go visit their loved one that was shot and killed in cold blood. He should pay with the unlimate price--his life.
 
I don't mind him rotting in prison, as long as that happens. The problem is they let some of the hardcore murderers and child-killers out too early on "good behavior". As long as they go there and stay there no problem.

This guy won't last long in prison anyway.
Hes got too much noteriety, somebody will take him out.

You are partly right.

I work as a parole officer in a rural county. I supervise more than one person convicted of murder. But there are some crimes that are not eligible for release. This would most assuredly fall into that catagory.

Give you a for instance: One of the murderers I supervise killed his wife and the man she was screwing in his bed. Just flat out shot them both right there. He then left the house, went to her sister's, opened a beer, called the police, told them what he had done, and waited for them on the porch. Before that incident, he never had so much as a speeding ticket in his life. He got 25 years on Second Degree Murder. He served 12 years 3 months, and will be on parole until sometime in the year 2018.

A man like that deserves a second chance IMO. This sniper does not.

Fry him, or get out of the way and let me do it.
 
I guess you would have to take it on a case by case basis. The sniper deserves whatever hes got coming to him.
 
If they link 14 shooting to him with 11 being deaths, it will hard for him not to be executed. You never know, sometimes they find ways around it, but I think this one would be pretty hard to fight against.

Not at all. I just think that all the luxuries that they're getting need to stop. Give 'em 3 squares a day, a job, and a bed. Make 'em earn the right to have books and radios. I find all the things that they're given atrocious. Years ago I hit a very rough spot in my life. The only thing I had was a roof over my head. I had lost my phone, cable, and eventually my electricity. I lived in a 2nd fl apt in TX and it was Summer. I had a job and I went to work everyday. At the end of the week I got my check and out of that check was tax money that went towards giving criminals everything that I didn't have. I agree that we need prisons and jails, I just disagree with all the luxuries. (FYI, My life has gotten much, much better)
 
Paul, I understand your liberal stance to an extent, but there is also no guarantee that he will truly be punished in jail. He may turn into a hero for someone or more than one person who thinks what he did was a great thing. Lets say that person gets tutored by this piece of crap and then gets released. He's now learned what to do and what not to do to not get caught from someone who has first hand experience. And let's not forget (as has been stated here several times) WE ARE PAYING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
:mad:
 
I agree with DE, there are many ways they should be punished (I prefer something that starts with them being hung up by their sacks with dental floss) but our society would never stand for it. So I would take the next best thing. They should shoot them. Or fry them. Just not the injection, that is much too painless for these animals.:mad:
 
If anyone thinks that prisons are luxurious...they are fooling themselves.

And, I'm not "liberal"...sorry.

Absolutely. Seen too many of them, and no not as an inmate. But I do agree that things could be a bit more unpleasant. I think it's a shame that our prisoners have more rights, considerations, and conveniences than do our soldiers.
