Oppose the state killing any its own citizens on ideological grounds, but can't feel sorry for this guy at all.
He certainly didn't.
And to the poster who said, "Aren't we supposed to be better than them?" ... WE ARE. We're ridding the world of an unrepentant, psychopathic murderer who made a direct attack on our innocent citizens and, more broadly, our way of life.
Good decision, and I hope he rots in hell.
This is precisely why death penalty supporters bug me. You guys believe that his execution is just the beginning of his punishment, when the rest of us know that's it's the premature end.
Plenty of people who oppose the death penalty sincerely believe in an afterlife and plenty of people who support it don't. That's not really the issue here. It's 1. Application in more ambiguous cases 2. Evidence of racism in its use and 3. Fundamental "thou shalt not kill" moral concerns
This is the rare case where #1 and #2 simply can't be said to apply.
