So, Ronnie Lee Gardner was executed by firing squad yesterday. (the story is on CNN-at least-is someone wants to look it up, I can't post links with this).

I know at least one of is crimes was shooting and killing an attorney, in a courthouse 25 + years ago. He's been on death row for 25 years.

Does the punishment suit the crime? If so, why hold him 25 years first?

Do you think his death will be a deterrent to other would be killers? If not, what purpose did it serve?

  Deterrent?  Well, it was to him.  When a crime like his, that be can be prove with no doubt.  Kill him and kill him quick.

  The real crime here was keeping him for 25 years at the a rate, as of now.  $35,000 a year.  I really think when you have a person that can not live in our society without committing crimes of violence,  they should be put to sleep.

  Why should a society, house, feed, clothe and provide medical care at $35,000 a year.  If a proven killer was caught a the age of 21, the cost to keep him to 75 would be $1, 890,000 over 2 million dollars in his life time. Then we get to pay to bury him.

  There is a whole lot of good poor hard working people that never makes that much money in a life time.  They could use some of this money we spend on  this human garbage.

Appeals, appeals and more appeals. Then there are the lawsuits (?) that are filed to get rid of the death penalty, that is why he spent 25 years on death row.

This thread reminded me of this picture...

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

When I think of all the  innocent people who suffer extreme pain and who die every day in this country, the outpouring of sympathy for cold-blooded killers enrages me. Where is the sympathy for the good, the kind and the innocent? This fixation on murderers is a sickness, a putrefaction of the soul. It's the equivalent of someone spending time boohooing over a pile of dog stuff. Sick and abnormal.

Isn't executuon technically murder? and doesn't that reduce the executioner to the same level?

  NO!  To me it's no worse the removing a cancerous growth from your body when you remove these cancerous growths from society.

  What do you do to a vicious pit bull after he has bitten a person severely and killed other dogs in the neighborhood.

  The people who will not or cannot be debilitated, put them to sleep.  I think it would be better for them.

  If you cannot do it yourself for moral reason, that's fine.  There is a whole lot of people who will do it for you and with pleasure.  Especially the familys of the people these criminals have killed.
