Beltway sniper fights execution as region remembers terror [Tuesday is THE DAY]
The Washington Examiner ^ | November 8 2009 | Bill Myers

Posted on 11/08/2009 3:42:34 PM PST by HokieMom

Convicted Beltway sniper John Allen Muhammad is filing last-minute appeals, trying to avoid a Tuesday appointment in Virginia's death chamber.

The legal scramble is reviving memories for countless in the D.C. region who lived through the three weeks in October 2002 when Muhammad and his ward, Lee Boyd Malvo, went on a rampage that terrorized the capital region.

Picking out strangers at random, they opened fire from a hole cut in an old car, leaving notes behind to taunt police and to celebrate the carnage they inflicted. By the time the pair was finished, 10 were dead, three were wounded and many more who had already lived through the Pentagon attack on 9/11 and an anthrax scare were traumatized.

Anybody else notice that islam was not mentioned in the article? That WAS the motivation for the murders.

I guess at this point seven years later, the writer assumes everyone knows. I would expect to see it readdressed in any of the analysis pieces, though.

I really doubt that’s why it wasn’t brought up.

In view of all the like reporting today of Fort Hood, you’re probably right.

I almost hope 0bama commutes him to life in prison, so it will remove all doubt, even to all the rats, that our freakin president, is in fact, a true Muslim.

He was convicted in a state court. Obama has no jurisdiction to commute anything.

They should have a TV feed of the execution to the hospital room of the Ft Hood jihadi.

Obummer will probably issue a Presidential pardon say it was all Bush’s fault that John Mahamoud killed all these folks.

“If executed as scheduled Nov. 10, condemned Beltway sniper John Allen Muhammad will die by lethal injection, not electrocution.

Unless the courts or the governor intervene, Muhammad’s execution is set for 9 p.m. at the Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt.”
