D.C. area sniper [ John Allen Muhammad ] executed in Virginia today // November 10, 2009‏
MSNBC ^ | November 10, 2009 | Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. - John Allen Muhammad was executed Tuesday night for the sniper attacks in 2002 that left 10 dead and spread such fear people were afraid to go shopping, cut grass or pump gas.

The three-week killing spree in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., was carried out with a teenage accomplice who is serving life in prison without parole. Muhammad, 48, died by injection at 9:11 p.m. EST after he exhausted his court appeals and Gov. Tim Kaine denied clemency.

Muhammad's attorneys earlier had asked Kaine to commute his sentence to life in prison because they said he was severely mentally ill.

"I think crimes that are this horrible, you just can't understand them, you can't explain them," said Kaine, a Democrat known for carefully considering death penalty cases. "They completely dwarf your ability to look into the life of a person who would do something like this and understand why."

Muhammad had been sentenced to death for killing Dean Harold Meyers at a gas station in northern Virginia. He and his accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, also were suspected of fatal shootings in Alabama, Arizona, Louisiana and Washington state.

Good riddance, and I can’t wait until we can say the same thing about the Ft. Hood terrorist shooter. Unfortunately it will be years from now, and the lib lawyers will try to keep him from being executed.

They were both terrorists with their actions.

He was a coward, so it fit him, although I would have preferred he was force-fed bacon till he exploded myself.

Sorta fitting, don't ya think? However, I would have preferred that he had a choice of either burning to death or jumping to his death like many from the WTC had to chose.

From the pain and anguish he caused, I hope the injection was Drano.

After terrorizing my kids for weeks in Manassas, I'm glad he is meeting his maker right now. It still haunts me remembering my girls asking us if they could lay in the floor of our car while we got gas.

Even fox regaled us with details of the killer's life, including what he had for a last meal...
But not a word about the number of victims he killed in cold blood, or their names.

GGGGGGRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

My one and only comment:

GRTBR!

One jihadi down, at least several hundred million to go.

We’d better get busy, real fast.

He’s dead. We have exterminated a predator amongst us. This is not a moment for joy, but relief mixed with sadness, since we have lost yet another man to hell. We must protect our own, reluctantly, we approve capital punishment but not retribution. That is for the Lord and not for us. How can we stop the next Muslim terrorist, whether homegrown or imported? That is what we need to address. Waterboarding? If required and it produces the information needed. Capital punishment? That’s like saying that we admit that we have lost.

I have no compunction againt welding the bars shut on the cage; yet, when it comes to the final end, should we really have state sanctioned execution? Unless we don’t have the guts to maintain truly life imprisonment.

You either forgot the < /sarc> tag, or that was intended as a cutesy attempt at inducing insensitive "right wing" guilt.

Kum-Ba-Ya

I think crimes that are this horrible, you just can't understand them, you can't explain them...

On the contrary, this particular one is very easy to explain. The two murderers had an elaborate, meticulous plan to kill random people to create a stir. They had no feeling whatever for their victims as human beings, merely as targets and means to sensational publicity that would create the atmosphere of terror they wanted to effect. They were not sick, crazy, or irrational, they were perfectly rational and thoroughly evil. There is no moral ambiguity here, no neutral ground into which a rehabilitated John Muhammed might, in time, be coaxed. He was not, as he cutely termed it, an "innocent black man." The innocent black men in the affair were the two he shot.

I shall be tipping my glass in memorium tonight - not for this useless waste of flesh but for the people whose lives he ended for no better reason than his own ego. I'd like to think I'm not the only one remembering them.
