There is ONE reason our death penalty averse governor will allow this execution to go forward: everyone who lives within the Metro Washington DC area was affected by him. Everyone. Metro DC (Northern VA) includes about one-half of the population of the entire Commonwealth of VA.

It was a very frightening time, when folks were afraid to pump gas or walk into a store for fear of being the next victim. No one who lived in these parts at that time will ever forget it.

I think lethal injection is too humane for this animal.

They should confine him to a fully secure Potemkin Village and let him go about his life never knowing when a sniper will put a round into him. Might be tomorrow. Might be next week, next month or next year. I suspect the SOB would be a blithering idiot before he was finally taken out.

Now THAT would be Old Testament jutice.

>>> Wow! I’m impressed with the speed this is going to happen. In California he would be on death row for life. <<<<

This is Virginia, which has a pretty strong record of following through on capital executions.

Northern Virginia loopiness notwithstanding, I’m pretty darned sure that John Allen Whatever will meet his maker in November.

He caused us a lot of problems and did a lot of bad stuff around here. Liberals and conservatives alike use the Seven Corners Home Depot and pump gas at the Manassas Sunoco. It could have been any one of us in his sights.

In the US, the crime has to be pretty horrible to warrant the death penalty. Then it’s something easy like lethal injection. Way too good for those guys (and gals).

The length of time in Va is fairly consistent with this. Muhammad's case isn't special, in that regard...

Even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then.

Just show him a picture of Muammar Gaddafi. That should make his head explode. Problem solved.
