“Killing is always wrong.”

From the “High Ground” as usual.....These are the same people who will let Terrorists attack us and then blame us for the attack.

“War is always wrong.”

Protestor Anna Shockley said. "I think killing is always wrong."

Maybe she shoulda told this to "ol' Earl" before he killed those folks.

These idiots find it shocking that there are consequenses for murder. Fortunately, not as SHOCKING as "Earl" did.

When his ex-girlfriend's parents refused to tell him her whereabouts, he methodically shot them dead, firing at the mother once in each leg, once in the lower body and once between the eyes at point- blank range.

Doncha know he was "retarded"?...poor poor African-American victim of the white judicial system. He just didn't realize that putting a bullet in between the eyes of somebody is wrong.... cause it's whitey's fault.

yawn

We should let the jihadist take over for a month, clear out our death row's then thank them and send them on their way.

I was wondering what the significance of so many men in the south being named “James Earl” is ... do you know ?

Attorney Diana Holt wrote that the execution violated Reed's right....to be free of cruel and unusual punishment....

I thought the SCOTUS settled the "cruel and unusual" question just recently by approving the method in which a particular state (Kentucky,I think) executed prisoners.Or was this dame arguing that the *chair* is cruel and unusual? In SC does a prisoner have a choice of methods and,if so,is lethal injection one of the options?

Anybody wanna bet that “protestor” Anna Shockley is just fine with partial birth abortion? It must be wonderful to be a leftist and never have to worry about facts, truth, common sense or reality.

Reed had been on death row since 1996 . . .

Well, things are speeding up - only 12 years for justice to work. Usually it is 20 years to the guying dying of old age on death row while playing the appeals game.

I recently watched a show about some guy in England who killed his gal back in the 20s. He was found guilty and hung three months later. They didn't fool around in those days.

As a sidebar, in these days of DNA, it seems to me that if a guy can be released immediately because DNA proved he was innocent (rightly so), then the execution process should be speeded up by shortening the appeals process when DNA proves the guy guilty beyond any reasonable doubt.

Watching "Forensics File" sometimes ticks me off at the prosecutors when they let the murderer who is guilty (his DNA all over the place (and IN the body, in the case of rape)) plead guilty "to avoid the death penalty". If they have conclusive proof "there oughtta be a law" that precludes plea-bargaining in these cases.
