RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A Virginia circuit court judge has set a Nov. 10 execution date for John Allen Muhammad, mastermind of the 2002 sniper attacks in the Washington, D.C., area.

I wonder how many anti-death penalty activists will show up for this one?

[Doogle]

....Odumbo finds himself in quite a pickle.

I live in Richmond and remember this animal and his reign of terror very clearly. People were afraid to pump their own gas, walk in parking lots, walk into a school or meander into a restaurant. Justified paranoia. They can’t exterminate this cockroach fast enough!

who sez there’s only bad news? :-)

[pikachu]

Relax folks. He probably has at least ten or twenty years of appeals left before the court finds out that the paper clips used on the third report about the prisoners personal effects was the wrong type and court commutes his sentence. /sarcasm-I-wish

[Cheetahcat]

OK very good what about the other POS in those Murders?

[Clioman]

Buh-bye!

[reaganaut1]

Anything less than the death penalty in this case would not be justice. Why has it taken 7 years?

RACISM??

One shot of “Jack” for the Corps and one shot of “jack” for the death of a muzzie son of a bi@tch.

He was NOT a 'sniper'. That has to be earned.

At best he is a twisted man that happens to be a good shot.

Don’t forget what the press isn’t telling us. He’s a muslim.

[SeaHawkFan]

Why do you say that? It’s a state court sentence and Obama has no authority to do anything.

[umgud]

They can’t exterminate this cockroach fast enough!

I say execute him very slowly.

[null and void]

At best he is a twisted man...

Fortunately Muhammad isn't muslim.

[sr4402]

Why did this take so Long?

[SeaHawkFan]

the other guy was a minor and thus could not be sentenced to death.

[mrsixpack36]

Obama would have the authority to pardon him (not that it would happen). That power is absolute.

10 November is already a holiday for Marines....so this offing is just a little icing for the Marine Corps Birfday.

Everyone in Richmond turn off your lights and appliances on 10 November so there’s more current to fry this scum. Remember he and his teen queen cruised schools looking for kids to shoot.
