SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) A judge has sentenced Joseph Smith to death for the slaying of 11-year-old Carlie Brucia.
v537
Should be a public hanging on TV.
I would be all for that!
On a serious note, Dennis Prager has an interesting opinion on the subject of executions. He says that a murderer should be killed in the same manner as the victim. Shoot your victim and you'll be shot; cut their throat and yours will be cut.
YAY! That worthless piece of $hit Smith should be taken out back and haver a bullet put in his brain ASAP.
But that's not the way we do things in a "civilized" society.
God is on His timetable, not ours.
When Satan takes his every 50-year break from sticking needles in Smith's eyeballs, and when the demons assigned to Smith's case are satiated from gnawing on his testicles, God will no doubt look down on a job well done.
And he will be pleased that the State of Florida did not delay Mr. Smith's rendezvous with perpetual torture.
Nope, Florida is a lot like Texas, in cases like this where there is video evidence, etc., you go to the front of the line. He'll be dead in about a year and a half.
His posturing is to stay within the RC groove, but it's borderline phony -- there is no possible way any state will ever be able to force a lifer to break rocks for 50 years.
If BOR wasn't instinctively a poseur, he would come to terms with the realpolitik of what passes for punishment in this country.
If indeed a lifer in the US could receive a "Sisyphus sentence" "for life", I'd reconsider the DP.
Hey, it was a republican governor who did that in IL
And to think that piece of crap Smith has a nine-year-old daughter, just two years younger than Carlie when she was raped, tortured, and strangled.
Thank God he'll never get near his own daughters again.
Probably 10 to 15 years. Of course death penalty cases are automatically appealed.
On pay-per-view, all proceeds donated to the victims families.
But I was asking God to help Susan Schorpen.
"Absent from the courtroom was Carlies mother, Susan Schorpen, who is in jail in Pinellas County on drug and prostitution charges. She has said the pain of losing her daughter led her to institutionalize herself three times and take drugs to numb the pain."
However, the first sentence in your reply is still valid.
God is on His timetable with Ms. Schorpen, not mine.
BRING BACK OL' SPARKY!!
Seeing her pictures I had great compassion for her and none for him. He has forfeited his right to exist.
I'm all for that. In fact, he should be assisted in asking personally, ASAP.
Good idea.
Set it on "SLOW FRY" for this cold-hearted, calculating demon.
Beyond doubt, that's the best way to do it, especially if the victim's family members are allowed to participate.
Theodoric of York had it right all along!
