Murder suspect thought his victims were too liberal
Source: San Francisco Chronicle

A man stabbed and bludgeoned his sister and her husband to death in El Cerrito in 2006 because he thought the couple were too liberal, were raising their children wrong and because they hadn't invited him over for Christmas, a prosecutor told jurors Tuesday.

Edward Wycoff, 40, of the Sacramento suburb of Citrus Heights coldly planned the slayings, including getting Lasik surgery and using night-vision goggles so he could find his way around the house where Julie Wycoff Rogers, 47, lived with her husband, Paul Rogers, 48, prosecutor Mark Peterson said.

... Although Wycoff was also armed with a gun, he didn't use it because he didn't want to boost the cause of gun-control supporters, the prosecutor said.

... Wycoff agreed with the prosecutor that he resented members of Paul Rogers' family for their liberal politics, and that he thought the couple were at times "too easy" when they disciplined their children.

3. I read this right after the Limbaugh comment about Beck.
"See what I have spawned?" How appropriate.

4. This is what they've been after all along.
Ann Coulter actually said that liberals should be killed.

6. IMHO, yes. She wanted this to happen and told people to do it,
and someone complied with her wish. One might argue that she didn't PAY anyone to do it, but I don't give her a pass because of that minor detail.

7. It does as far as I'm concerned.
It would be beyond fantastic to see her in prison for her attempts to destroy this country and get those of us who really believe in freedom killed.

10. Limbaugh said the same thing..

"I tell people don't kill all the liberals, leave enough around so we can have two on every campus; living fossils, so we will never forget what these people stood for."
- Rush Limbaugh

15. Rush may have done more damage to the human race than any other individual
For all practical purposes, he convinced a couple generations of Americans that it would be patriotic to suck Satan's cock.

And they bought it.

19. Yes, but it's so bogged down with appeals that most death row inmates die of natural causes
I'm opposed to the DP BTW.

24. Yes they do....
And for someone like this, I'd drive down from Washington to put this guy to sleep.

Just like one would do for any other rabid animal. Put them down.

I'm sure they'll appreciate his keeping the sacred RTKBA out of it.

with insincere calls for a ban on "bludgeons" or bludges, whatever those are.

17. Hey, it's not like it's the "Logic" subforum
Those guys have a special brand of reasoning there -- meaning they try to avoid reasoning whenever possible.

23. This is what happens when right wing hate speech is allowed to
go on unchallenged. I doubt this will be the last killing of its kind.

26. My liberal conscience abandons me on this one
I hope he is shown no mercy and that he suffers a painful, miserable, wretched existence for every second of every minute of every hour of every day of his sad pathetic little life. He deserves nothing less.

There are times when I wish the American justice system wasn't so lenient. This is one of them No punishment it could impose would be sufficient for this monster

32. Yeah, the "no cruel and unusual punishment" clause could do with an amendment.
Cruel and unusual punishment is the only practical way to deal with subhumans like this.

The man was crazy and lonely. Nutty. Politics really is irrelevant.

31. "Politics really is irrelevant."
Hardly. His stated reason involved political ideology.
