Put him a room full of rocking chairs
Release 20 long tail cats into the room
Cue Barry Mannilow music
After a sufficient time, with the kitties, flood room with 3 feet of water.
Release 5 adolescent tiger sharks and let them spend 10 minutes with him.
Pull the sharks after no more than 10 minutes and then place him a room full of mirrors, so he can see his pain.
Spend the rest of the week misting the room with salt water at 20 minute intervals for 4 days and place him a straight jacket with a muzzle so we don’t have hear his shrieking.
But that’s just me.
Well, not really. After all that, light him on fire for 1 minute and drop him on a deserted island populated by hermit crabs and flocks of seagulls.
Too easy. A page torn from a script 50+ years ago.
Drudge has not broken anything which hurts democrats nor Obama for years - he is in the pocket.
Marcus Luttrell posted something about this on his Facebook page.
He’s currently getting about 3,000 likes every half minute.
“There was no real motive. This guy was just another ding.
Lots of dings out there.”
It has been speculated that Eddie Ray was quite upset with the way Chris treated his gay lover, kicking his ass in that bar fight and all. Eddie Ray was just trying to defend Jesse’s honor.
GREAT NEWS!!! There are a couple of threads, maybe three; it would be great to combine them all. Yours, WhiskeyX, seems to have the most replies so far.
This must just have happened a couple of hours ago or so. How long did the jury deliberate? Were they sequestered?
Was the trial held in the original venue?
He probably never had a chance...not that he deserved one. Heck, I would be considered a biased juror and I live thousands of miles away...I just respect what Chris Kyle did for his country, and what he was trying to do for the former defendant.
I love your posts, HiTech RedNeck. You are absolutely right. God will determine the fate of this man’s soul.
That's something I have not heard on one single news report on this trial. Granted that I can't watch / listen to / read them all, but still...
Oh, no. Unless this guy spends life in solitary, another prisoner will off him in a few years. This would actually be faster than giving him the death sentence and cheaper for the state, too.
He won’t live to see 2020.
He posted, "Justice served for Chris and the Littlefield family. To Eddie Ray Routh, you thought you had PTSD before .?? Wait till the boys in TDC Find out you killed a TX hero."
This being the Lone Star State, it escapes me that the prosecution didn't go for the Lone Star Penalty!
They’ll have to watch this ding close, keep him secured, because every lumber-head in the joint will target him, just for the reputation of being the killer of the sniper guy killer.
I can only hope he gets his Just deserts!!!
A good reason to really appreciate what we have here on Free Republic.
I especially hate ads with video and sound. The website should also hate them, because almost all I talk to say that those ads tend to lock up their page and have to be closed.
It's at the point that I don't return. I've stopped going to Breitbart and Blaze. Lucianne is getting close to getting deleted from my favorites, and youngcons is not far behind.
It's annoying. It doesn't sell, and it kills traffic to their website.
Wow! TX state prisoners are really tough!
Nope. State level case; dear leader doesn’t have the ability to pardon.
That was quick.
The good people of Texas did their duty. Those of you who complained about the women on the jury can eat their socks and apologize for their rude chauvinistic comments.
The motivation is he planned it. He craved attention his whole miserable life, hence the lying about all the missions he was on in the military and the shootings and the countless dead bodies he buried in Haiti. All that PTSD was a scam for attention. He also had a long history of killing animals just to hear their last breath. Kyle was famous so that was the motivation. If he out snipered the famous sniper, he would have all the attention in the world. Hey, he got his name in the papers and his face on tv. He got his wish as he'll always be remembered, especially since the movie came out.
The guards in Huntsville will do their job to a point to but hey, they make mistakes and accidents do happen.
Not only was he non-combat but he didn’t pull countless bodies out of the ocean and bury them in Haiti. He lied about everything he did in the military just for the glory and attention it brought him. The acting crazy brought him attention. After the military, he latched onto PTSD to get attention. The assassination of Kyle and Littlefield brought him attention. This trial brought him attention.
