Killer endured harshest penalty — dying a forgotten man behind bars (this guy is off his rocker)

I agree, absolutely. The reason the death penalty isn't quick to the punch is because liberals have made it time-consuming and very expensive to carry out. But the record of zero recidivism is what what makes it superior to every other method of punishment for murder- its 100% effective, fool-proof and iron-clad. It delivers results every time.

...allowing nature to take its course, that is a far harsher penalty than death by lethal injection.

Bravo Sierra!!! Everybody dies -- it is called "mortality".

At least, with LI, the punk gets to know that society ain't gonna let him hang around and sponge off of us any longer...

Thank you for adding this to the discussion it was very helpful.

Hmm, I sent my response to the editor. I think I will give it until Monday just to see if there is any interest ...

Perhaps than I will send him (or you can) send him the link to this thread ...

There is always other ways to get one's point across.

Thank you for the add'y and comment.

Shame on Rick Malwitz?

Nooooo; shame on Dan Berger, whom Mr. Malwitz exposed.

If Williams had been sentenced to death, his story would have been retold often, through a seemingly endless series of appeals in state and federal courts. The convoluted legal process would have cost countless tax dollars.

His death was lamented on the online edition of The Nation — a publication of the hard left.

Berger made only a passing reference to the murder of Philip Lamonaco.

Sounds like this guy is not at all sympathetic to the criminal, though he is anti death penalty. He seems glad the scumbag died behind bars, forgotten & unlamented, exactly as sentenced.

The best punishment for all of these guys...is to send them to middle of Montana....max security place...no work, no books, no one to talk to, only 1 hour per day outside with absolutely no contact with people. You stay in your cell and even eat your meals there. Most of these guys would commit suicide within two years and we'd be out of this whole argument. Once you take away human contact...people slide fast. They have no reason to exist if they can't communicate with someone.

I'm not certain if it was intended, but he certainly made a valid point. That *guaranteed* life can be (not necessarily is) a worse punishment. I imagine that for some, it is a daily living hell. He seemed to imply that there was some justice in the obscurity of the man's life in prison and his death, also. Which is also a valid point.

If his life was indeed hell, then perhaps the sentence was inadvertently appropriate. Am I in favor of life rather than the death penalty. Not at all. We have no way of knowing in advance which is going to be worse for the murderer. Thus, the morally right punishment for a heinous murder is execution.
