I want this low-life scum to suffer rape and other abuses for a minimum of 50 years.
To me, the death penalty must be earned.
Timothy McVeigh earned the right and respect of an early death. What he did was horribly wrong, but at the moment of his death, I saluted him as a fellow soldier.

As I posted earlier, in the USA today "Justice" is simply the name of a government office.

The next democrat President will pardon him and he will be able to pick up where he left off.
He is just on a littlr r&r right now.

Advocating prison rape is disgusting and truly offensive no matter whom the individual is or what their crimes.
Advocating death for this young man who has murdered a handful of people is far more humane and just than advocating his rape in prison.
I am truly disgusted by your comments as I am whenever anyone advocates prison rape as punishment.
He should have recieved the death penalty but not prison rape.

Sniff, sniff, sniff..
Go tell that to a Liberal who is against the death penalty for the guilty, but fully supports the murder (abortion) of the innocent.
This sorry and disgusting product of the human race, should not be granted even the most basics of protections.
Believe me, prison rape is the most minor of things that I wish upon this human scum.
If it was up to me, I would implement the original term of outlaw (outside of the law) as it was intended.
With an "outlaw", the government is prohibited from protecting this human scum in any way, method or form. What the civilian population (to include family members) does to him, is their own business. This human scum is outside of the law, and anything other people may do to him is more than justified.
Believe me, I would be the first person to recommend his rapid and early release from prison.

I can't believe it. I've worked with folks that have served as jurors on both of the sniper trials. A few weeks ago, I saw a photo of a former coworker that served on Muhammad's trial. Today I see yet another former coworker on television, he'd been a member of Malvo's jury.
I have no idea if he was originally pro-death or not.

Advocating prison rape is disgusting because first of all, it falls under "cruel and unusual punishment".
Secondly, thanks to the WOD and ever increasing gun control, there are a lot of non-violent people in jail for things that are illegal and not criminal.
So when someone goes to jail on a non violent drug charge, or a non violent "illegal gun" possession charge, they are subject to the same treatment in the general population as the child rapist or the murderer.
Prison is meant to remove violent people from our society and punish people who commit criminal acts that do not warrant the death penalty. Prison rape is not a part of that equation and it's disgusting to see people advocate it.
Let's hope no one we know gets caught with an "illegal" gun or a few ounces of mariujuana here in New York or they will be subject to prison rape.

In addition to my previous post, I believe that the death penalty is a justified response to the initiation of force, while abortion is an initiation of force in and of itself.
So yes of course the liberals are silly but that in no way has any reflection on my argument.

I give up, this human scum was
convicted of the murder of many innocent people. For months, he terrorized a very large segment of the American public.
Any "cruel and unusual punishment" is absolutely justified in my book.
Why are you trying to protect the treatment of this human scum?

I don't know, with many Republican presidents, they too will do anything to get on good terms with the "Eastern Establishment."

I live in Falls Church, VA - and let me buy you a clue.
There is no parole in VA. Life in prison means exactly that.
On the other hand, given that that Home Depot is about a mile from my house, I have no clue how the jury did not fry him.
Third, yes, I live in liberal hell.

It would have only taken one holdout on that jury. I think in Virginia to get the death penalty the jury has to go unanimously for it. Some bleeding heart probably held out.
Hopefully Alabama will try him.

I'm not trying to marginalize the horrible and brutal crimes he has committed or somehow lessen his sentence. He should spend life in prison. If I was on that jury I would not be satisfied with that, and would try to sentence him to death.
The point I am making, and that which you somehow fail to comprehend, is that I am not protecting this individual scum from what you freely admit is cruel and unusual punishment, but all prisoners no matter what they are convicted of, from the non-state sanctioned "punishment" of prison rape. Advocating prison rape is dangerous, as I have said earlier, because of the amount of people in jail for non-violent, non-"criminal" acts such as drug offenses or "gun offenses". Do you advocate prison rape for people convicted of minor drug offenses, or people convicted of carrying "illegal" handguns or violating the federal Assault Weapons Ban?
I have to wonder, if you are so against the 8th Amendment to the Constitution, do you care about the Constitution and rule of law itself? Do you show such utter disdain for the 2nd Amendment? What about the 1st? Are infringements the 9th and 10th Amendments "absolutely justified in (your) book"?
I hope you can see my point.

Not so swift, with the "justice" meted out to former AL Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore, I would have little confidence in "justice" being served in AL either.
