I really don't like the death penalty the way it is though. We are way to kind in how it is administered.The problem is we wait to long to put the dogs, and they are dogs, to death. It should not take more than a couple of months including all appeals. Throw in some lawyers and judges and the obstruction of justice on behalf of criminals would abate.

Their acts are sickening, and their lives should be immediately forfeit upon a fair conviction. Agree, absolutely. . .and would up the ante, for an even swifter karma here; and by whatever means.

Absolutely!!
In any abduction...fight for your life immediately, never ever be taken, no matter the threat, no matter the weapon, even if it means fighting 'to death'. And there needs to be a 'gentle' but firm way of teaching this to children.
Even adults instinctively think that cooperating will save them. So not true.

The sad part is, these animals will live a long life in prison and actually enjoy it. They don't care about anything, and this state doen't dare punish them. Let the jury hand down two death sentences on each and it just means they'll die of old age ejoying their dope and life on "the down low"

"Prosecutor: Carjacker faces death penalty"
Let me correct that headline. Carjackers face a long life in a taxpayer funded, luxury pound for bipeds. Tennessee has the death sentence but not the death penalty in %99.99999999 of cases. Idle threats aren't worth diddly squat

Never known dogs to do anything like this, or any other four legged animal, for that matter. These three are sub-human or lower. Consequently, we should treat them accordingly, and execute them---very slowly.

There's more today on this story: BUMP
Knoxville Horror on ID Channel! [Nicholas Stix] @ 12:55 pm
David in TN: I just found out the Knoxville Horror will be featured tomorrow night on the Investigation Discovery Channel at 10pm ET. It repeats 3 hours later and on Saturday on the Sins and Secrets show.
The victims are described as wealthy and privileged on the preview I saw. The premise is the murders ignited long simmering racial tension in a quaint Southern town.
NS: I just love this. Since racial tension is a euphemism for racist black-on-white violence, how can a black-on-white atrocity ignite racist black-on-white violence? But that cant be what they want us to think. No, they dont want us to think at all.
Since ID didnt contact me, I dont expect that theyll be mentioning my work, though I do expect them to use it without attribution, the way CNN did on May 29, 2007.
Channon Christians family was middle-class. Christopher Newsom was a carpenter, which hardly bespeaks wealth and privilege. His folks are well-spoken, and have shown great dignity, but one can have the manners and speech with which to present oneself respectably, without having a pot to pee in. Thats a matter of character, not money.
This sounds really bad. Describing the victims as wealthy and privileged, and broadcasting under the category Sins and Secrets, would be wholly inappropriate to this case, and sounds like one of the sick, failed defense stratagems employed by Lemaricus Davidsons defense team, and supported by racist, local blacks. Then again, maybe the code words are simply euphemisms for white victims. After all, arent all white crime victims wealthy and privileged, with sins and secrets, which somehow justifies their victimization?
David adds: Channon Christian was a full-time student at the University of Tennessee while holding down a job. Chris Newsom was a trim carpenter for a construction company. They and their parents were middle class people who worked hard for what they had.
I attended the Coleman trial and the sentencing hearings for Coleman and Davidson. I saw the parents up close and spoke several times to Chris Newsoms parents. They are normal, down-to-earth people.
The ID Channel site indicated a good part of the program is how it affected the community.
