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.

Buh-bye to a sick, mean monster.
Most people didn’t know that the BOY (his partner) nearly escaped some time ago —he climbed into the police station ceiling and was almost 1/2 out when they discovered him missing....
Well...bye.

........and nothing of value was lost.
It's a long way to New Orleans.
Very nearly death by numeric palindrome.
Sounds very, very familiar...
I hope that this all signals the end of Political Correctness once and for all.

True, True, Islam is a Mental Illness.
Now lets round them Up and get Medieval on their ass.
We’ve been taking Shiite off these guys for too long.
The fires of hell burn a little hotter tonight.
Good. Hey John, how do you like hell so far?
I wonder if Mr Muhammed is as smug now ?
Why didn’t he invoke the PTSD defense?
Well there is some good news. Next in line should be his son. Followed closely by Mumia and Hasan.
Very nearly death by numeric palindrome.
LOL....
Amen! This and the Fort Hood jihad (which is receiving substantial cover-up and excuse making by the MSM and politicians) ought to become the death knell for 'political correctness'
Just as Bill Clinton's dalliances with the fairer gender was the death knell for radical Feminism ... it hasn't been quite the same since 1997, ehhhh ?
