Death row inmate of the week: He buried a baby alive!

A weekly look at death row predators beloved by liberals.

Here's a sweet bedtime story to comfort any liberal - he stabbed the mother to death, then buried the sixteen month old baby alive.

Obviously, this poor, misguided young man is a victim of the capitalist system.

The death penalty is just too good for some folks. This maggot should be tortured.

I see in Cobb's eyes that he is already dead. It makes no sense, except for the attorneys who will profit from endless appeals, to keep the corpse alive. It cheapens the value of life to keep these cadavers alive.

We've got to stop calling it punishment and call it what it really is; rendering a dangerous person harmless. You have to admit that the only way Ted Bundy will ever harm anybody ever again is if you drop him out of a tall building onto a crowded sidewalk, but then you couldn't really blame Ted for that.

You are correct! Horrible things go on everyday and when they come to my attention as did this one, well it only strengthens my belief in a higher justice.
Peace be with you.

We all know who PETA would side with!

Let start a pool. Cut off his gonies and place them in his mouth, turn on the juice. We'll place wagers how high they hit the wall across the room.

I'm in.

I used to respond to articles like this by trying to think up appropriate methods of torture but then I realized that scum like this isn't worth the effort. They should just take him out and shoot him like you would any other rabid animal.

Singer would probably be glad the maggot killed the baby before it could eat any meat.

Singer should be taken out and shot like a rabid animal too.

Great post and well put! That Manson killer in California was denied parole this time round, but the speculation is that she will get it one of these times. Execution would put an end to it.

In this case, as in so many others, language and the use of language defines the parameters which determine how we think, just as you say. For example one of my pet peeves is the words liberals and liberalism. These are huge misnomers, as they derive from the word "Liberty" and as we all know, one thing liberals and liberalism are not about, its liberty. Yet people from all sides use the term and seem unencumbered by it.

I think you are really on to something when you suggest that the terminology be changed, as with all the whacko liberal (ooops) judges out there, if these sorry excuses for human beings are not executed, its not an unreasonable bet to say that they will be back on the streets at some point.

Great post.

Seems to me, the death row population should be representative of the CRIMINAL population, not necessarily the total population.

I don't care what color a criminal (or in this case murderer) is, I just care that justice is done. Anyone who adds the race tage to a conviction or punishment is flat wrong.

I agree. I wish I had passed this one by.
