About 6 years ago another guy choose firing squad in Utah and they advertised nation wide for sworn LEO's to fill out applications for the squad. I had my application filled out and my wife threw a Sh%&fit! I never mailed it in, I saw divorce in my future if I were "lucky" enough to be drawn.

I think that case involved the murder of a child. Personally I would have pulled the trigger on #2 of a 3 count.

i think they should let avarage citizens be on the firing squad. that would be civic duty at its finest. it would beat jury duty any day

Family of the victim should have first dibs.

I say we stomp him, then we tattoo him, then we hang him, and then we kill him...!

YouTube - Pee-wee's Big Adventure - I say we kill him!

VERY RIGHT!!!!

The death sentence for killing a LAWYER!!!! What is this world coming too?

 

[sparkyfender]

Why should he get a choice in the way he goes out? His victim didn't.

Look at the circus that ensued when that scum Gary Gilmore took this route. A book by Norman Mailer and a friggen' movie. Jeezus.

Gary Gilmore became a household name............ Nobody knew the name of who he murdered.

I agree family should have first dibs

Two crimes involved here!

First crime was the Murder. Second crime is the 20 year wait on death row. Texas needs to give a clinic on speedy executions, I don't think they have too many killers that wait 20 years to be removed from the gene pool!

How about not killing him?

*ducks*

In a kill or be killed scenario I have a responsibility to my family and it is likely necessary to defend myself, but in this case, the person is no longer a threat to society. We do not have the right to take away this person's life just like he didn't have the right to take away the life of his victim.

Life for a life. He knew that was the possibility when he committed the crime. Just like you know if you go out and commit a violent or drug related felony, you're going to lose your right to own a firearm. You don't want to lose your right, don't commit the crime. Besides, why waste our taxes dollars keeping scum like him alive when we could use that money in our schools educating our kids.

Look the family of the victim in the eye and tell them we do not have the right to take his life.

I guarantee you the perpetrator's death will not relieve the victim's family's anguish or anger or etc. if it has not been relieved by now. If they are still seeking a sense of "closure" after > 20 years, it will not come from another death.

WRONG!!! It's a piece in a BIG puzzle. I would wait 20 years to do it myself no problem.

I guarantee you the perpetrator's death will not relieve the victim's family's anguish or anger or etc.

...And I guarantee you that this individual will never be able to ever murder someone else once he is executed.
It is societal self-defense. When a rabid animal attacks someone, we take the common-sense step of hunting it down and destroying it because we know that it cannot be cured of its condition, and failure to destroy the animal only increases the risk that another person will be attacked. Doing this both for rabid animals and for serial/mass murders has not stopped the re-occurence of either, but it does stop the clear and present danger that these animals/individuals are to the community.

You are right that killing a killer does not heal the pain of the victims, but it DOES guarantee that the killer will take no more innocent lives...
