DC sniper loses appeal, execution set for tomorrow..

Okay...just a sick twist. ;)

Oh, did I just laugh at that?

:)

death penalty, but the way things are I couldn't see any hope for this guy escaping it.

On edit

The article doesn't give full justice to the statement the three justices made. From Scotusblog:

"Three Justices filed a separate statement saying the case "highlights once again the perversity of executing inmates before their appeals process has been fully concluded." Justices John Paul Stevens wrote the statement, joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor. The statement, however, pointedly added that those Justices did not dissent from the Court's refusal to hear Muhammad's legal claims."

that this asshat gets what he deserves fairly quickly, because he threatened the muckety-mucks in D. C. while the people in the other parts of the country have to wait twenty or more years for justice just because the "important" people didn't feel threatened.

May this asshat get his due justice, and may the peopple in the hinterlands eventually get their justice when some dickhead pulls this shit in their communities, too.

grants justice to the innocent much faster than most blue states do.

John Allen Mohammed deserves to be boiled alive in bacon fat.

He's getting a more merciful end then he gave his victims.

I lived in the DC area then and I was scared to death. I didn't want to stop and get gas. I wanted to go toward Baltimore. The uncertainty was what was so scary. You didn't know what to look for, you didn't know where it would come from, it was awful.

I tell you this. It was on record. During the shooting spree a lady drove into a parking lot one evening in a nearby town. As she got out of her car she saw a dark blue older model car with someone in the front seat and he was fooling around reaching over the back seat. She said he scared her the way he acted. Scared her enough she zigzagged thru the cars at the mall. She told her friends that the only thing that didn't match up was he didn't have a white van but a blue car. It was in the paper. Like, when they ask for your impressions etc. Well after they caught the guys it came to mind that maybe she really did see the shooters there in the parking lot. You never know. People just thought at the time that she was paranoid.

It was no fun...the police didn't have a clue either..not for the longest..

the last guy to go this quickly was McVeigh.

Dead men tell no tales.

and no real mitigating circumstances.

In prison, he will likely kill no more. He has been neutralized as a threat. It would serve nothing but revenge to put him to death, just another unnecessary killing. Life in prison with no parole would be the civilized thing to do.
