I have no words. I am coming to oppose the death penalty because there is too much corruption in law enforcement and too much human error, but these men have earned it if every anyone has.

[nickcarraway]

Actually, I kind of agree with Justice Sotomayor. She doesn’t agree with the Kansas Supreme Court, she says the court never should have agreed to take up the case in the first place.

F’in A.

[nickcarraway]

Basically all nine justices agreed these prisoners should get the death penalty.

if you murder someone, you relinquish the right to breathe.

It has nothing to do with deterrence. eye for eye is a very, very old legal concept.

[gaijin]

One of the most wantonly brutal murders in all my lifetime.

Obama - if I had sons...

“if you murder someone, you relinquish the right to breathe.”

Done in cold blood. I hope the death sentence is firing squad combined with injection and looking at michelle obama’s face for 24 hours.

0% Recidivism rate.

A syringe filled with air is sufficient. Ammo is expensive and I am all for fiscal responsibility on the part of gov’t.
As to making the condemned look at a picture of Mrs. Obama, that is pushing the bounds of cruel and unusual punishment.

The media managed to suppress news of the Wichita Massacre to the point most people have never heard of it. The death penalty is too good for these bastards.

These bass-turds should already have been worm food and every day they draw breath diminishes all of us.

Uh....domestic savages...urban yutes...aspiring rappers?

They didn’t just murder their victims. They tortured them for hours. Then they murdered them.

[Durus]

A public hanging would do. Use the same rope all three times to make environmentalists happy, re-use is a form of recycling after all. Make it a hemp rope to make libertarians happy.

[ConservativeMind]

I say butcher them three-fold back what they gave their victims.

It’s biblical.

[txnativegop]

I was thinking of using a single old syringe for all executions in every state that has the death penalty.

ROFL at Michelle Obama face
