Executions are not done in the victims name theyre done in the name of the People which is why the cases are The People vs. defendant. Otherwise you have a society in which vendetta and blood-feuding are the norm, which is not a very pleasant thing.

Even accepting their claim at face value it can’t 9shouldn’t) stop the execution. The killer has exhausted his appeals, and his rights are the only ones which matter.

“...she did not want it done in her name.”
It’s not in YOUR name lady, it’s in the name of the law! There should be no mercy in such cases.

When McVeigh got the business, other than a few Jesuits in fro t of the prison doing a lackluster rendition of Jesus carrying the Cross, not much was heard from the anti DP groups. Same with Larry Brewer, a White supremacist when he was executed for killing James Bird, a Black man. Not that these POS’s didn’t deserve it, Dylann Roof is on death row for shooting up that Black church in Charleston, SC. Maybe Rage Against the Machine can do a benefit concert to commute his sentence, perhaps do a smarmy rendition of Knocking on Heavens Door? Funny how the left thinks they’re slick when it comes to picking and choosing their battles

“...and three other men convicted for murdering children were slated to be killed in the coming weeks”
Notice the wording? The convicted murderers are slated to be “killed”... as if a murderer didn’t earn execution.
“Kill” is an imprecise word as their victims were also “ killed”. To paraphrase one of my Jr. High English teachers who disliked her students to use the word “got”.
“There is always a more precise word to use then the word “kill”. Be sure to find that precise word to accurately write and say what you mean.”

The Execution should go on as planned and the Judge should take his place.

Earlene Peterson -- whose daughter, granddaughter and son-in-law were tortured, killed and dumped in a lake by Lee and an accomplice -- has opposed Lee's execution, telling CNN last year that she did not want it done in her name.It is not being done in your name Ms Peterson. It is being done in the name of JUSTICE.

They sure couldnt wait to execute Timothy McVeigh. The Clinton DoJ put him on the express line for execution. Maybe they were afraid of what he might say?! Like links to Iraq and Saddam Hussein....

McVeigh ended his own appeals. He could have stretched it out years longer.

Hey, Earlene, this is where that “fluid intelligence” comes in.

Most leftist judges are whacked, but this is one example were women should NEVE be chosen as judges. Sorry to say that most should not be voting either.
We wouldn't be here.
