A firing squad for Faisal
NY Post ^ | May 05, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 05/05/2010 3:22:04 AM PDT by Scanian

They keep coming.

This time it was Faisal Shahzad, who left Pakistan in the '90s, came to New York, studied hard and became a US citizen last year.

Whereupon he declared war on America, dropped off a car bomb in Times Square and was on his way back to his homeland Monday night when federal agents dragged him off an airplane at Kennedy Airport.

Before him it was the Underpants Bomber.

And the Fort Hood assassin.

And before them an assortment of murderous lunatics, including the first World Trade Center bombers and the perpetrators of 9/11.

Firing squad?? yes deserved, but I think a few years with 300 lb boyfriend “Buba” would be a better deterrent.

There’s still some common sense in the MSM! I love it! We need to go back to summary executions. If you plead guilty to the crime of treason, there should be no appeal, no jail time; you should be hauled out behind the courthouse, blindfolded, and ten .223 plowed into your head.

We’ve become a nation of weak-kneed lawyers. There are no balls left in the American public.

‘That’s treason, pure and simple — and he needs to be propped up in front of a firing squad and sent to his reward.’

No, no, no. What needs to be done is this. Announce to all that the next middle eastern terrorists who are apprehended, will be forced to consume 1lb of raw bacon shoved down each ones throat by a paid executioner. Case closed.

Want to see this crap stop real fast?

So long as some Moslem countries are rich the jihadists will assault infidels and the West incessantly. We give them the resources and the education to make war on us and their religion requires that they do so. What is the best way to end it?- produce all our own oil. We have it in the ground, enough to supply ourselves and to cut the price of oil worldwide and reduce the wealth of Jihad to a desultory level.

I am sure there are quite a few patriotic prisoners who would be more than happy to give this SOB some justice.

We had the law on the books in Utah. It worked great. The perps really hated it and the liberals freaked out. I think that we removed it due to the media circus. But, who knows? Maybe if New York asks really nice.....

If you plead guilty to the crime of treason

Before you execute him for treason (a crime of which he's obviously guilty), you have to charge him.

If this bird is NOT indicted for treason it means that, for this regime as for the Bush regime, there is no such thing as treason.

He'll get life. The news reports and police said he was a mid-40s white man so no mercy should be shown.

Why do they keep calling the scum an American citizen?
He obviously committed perjury on his citizenship application and while taking the oath of citizenship. Would that not void the alleged citizenship claim?

Firing squad?

[chuckle]

Won’t happen in this pc world.

Now, if he were a white guy, he would be more likely to get a lethal injection or electric chair.

At most, this guy will probably get life in a SuperMax.
