Goodbye Coward !
I remember pumping gas or walking across a store parking lot and wondering if someone was going to shoot me. That was a really bad time.
I live a short distance from the Home Depot where one victim was murdered and I had been to the shopping center earlier in the day.
His victims never got a chance for an appeal - and a free attorney to plead his case.
Feeling the sorrow of the vitims and there family, I still opose to the death sentence, "tou shall not kill", the man shure dit but why should the government? a eye for a eye? very primitive not wordy for a grand nacion. And is it realy helping with your greeve? just lock the man away and trow the key (never to be paroled)same goos if he is mentaly ill.
Thank you.
what he did was wrong but it does not make your childish comments right. If you wonder where people like this come from take a look in the mirror becuase your attitdues are part of the problem.
It always amazes me that people want to drop to the lowest common denominator. The reason he gets a chance at appeals and a free attorney is that we choose to behave in a civilized manner rather then lower our standards to that of the criminal. As to others comments justice will be served but we should never take joy in another death else we join them in their mentality. It is sad that his victims died and he will suffer the consequences of his actions but it is not a occasion for joy.
The meaning of the original word "kill" in "thou shalt not kill" is to shed innocent blood. It has absolutely nothing to do with justice upon those guilty of murder. This guy killed in the way prohibited by the commandment, and for the government to shed his blood certainly does not make the government guilty of shedding "innocent blood."
While one may make an argument against capitol punishment as primitive, the 10 Commandments have no correlation whatsoever.
Mr. Metz is quick to quote from "The Law" about "thou shalt not kill"yet ignores the numerous references of "the murderer shall surely be put to death."
There were 10 people who died needlessly at the hands of this scumbag and literally 10s of thousands who were held hostage by terrorism. If you didn't live through it--schools on lock down, bending down for cover as you put gas in your car, using the buddy system for everything you did, police roadblocks to check your car, scoping out every white van in the area, etc,---it's hard to understand. Enjoy your last few hours.
