John Allen Muhammad, the "D.C. sniper" of autumn 2002, is no more. The commonwealth of Virginia put Muhammad to death last night last night for the murder of Dean Harold Meyers at a gas station in Northern Virginia. Muhammad and his accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, were also convicted of six murders in Maryland and suspected of three killings in other states. Malvo, who was under 18 at the time, will live.
It was a curious accident of timing that Muhammad's execution came less than a week after the massacre at Fort Hood. This passage from an Associated Press story is reminiscent of much of the Fort Hood coverage:
"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." . . .
The motive for the shootings in the nation's capital region remains murky. Malvo said Muhammad wanted to use the plot to extort $10 million from the government to set up a camp in Canada where homeless children would be trained as terrorists. But Muhammad's ex-wife has said she believes the attacks were a smoke screen for his plan to kill her and regain custody of their three children.
CBS News reports that Muhammad's lawyers tried to suggest their client was depraved on account of he was deployed...

I saw Malvo’s drawings. I’m not mystified in the least.
I don’t care about the motive. Muhammed killed innocent people; he deserved to die. End of story.
How about examining Obambi's motives for his actions...his dithering, his Marxist policies, his rush-to-judgment about the Boston cop, his Czars from hell....just to name a few things needing answers.
Whether Obambi loves America ... that's murky...
I dont care what his motives were, he killed and is now burning in hell. Good riddance.
It made me absolutely sick to my stomach to see his scum lawyer attempting to portray him as a victim right down to the very last second.
True enough, but the exact same evil PC dishonesty in the Associated Press failed to allow us to weed out Hasan 6 years later.
Only to morons.
* John Muhammad, the Beltway jihadist put to death last night, was a veteran of the Army’s 84th Engineering Company.
As I’ve reported previously, Muhammad was suspected of throwing a thermite grenade into a tent housing 16 of his fellow soldiers as they slept before the ground-attack phase of Gulf War I in 1991. And he was admitted to the Army despite being court-martialed while serving in the Louisiana National Guard for willfully disobeying orders, striking another noncommissioned officer, wrongfully taking property and being AWOL.

Whether Hussein loves America isn’t the least bit murky to me, it’s clear as glass that he doesn’t.
Muslim radical randomly shoots American citizens but the US news idiots can’t figure out the motive yet...
It’s little wonder almost nobody believes these idiots anymore.

So like Muslim Terrorist, John Muhammad are we going to have to wait seven or eight years for this latest high profile Muslim Terrorist, Hasan to be executed?
Seriously, if they can’t figure out what the motive for Sudden Jihadist Syndrom might be, they aren’t smart enough for me to waste my time on.
How can they presume to do big-time television commentary if they can’t even figure that one out?
