Where killers are concerned, we're far too civilized ...

[dogtag]

As it is there's no reason these crazed killers need to fear
what's in store for them by way of punishment.
I think we should bring back some medieval punishments.
This latest killer of children did not survive which is a pity
because what I would have in store for him and others like him
would be burning at the stake. The parents of the murdered children
could watch him burn and listen to his his screams. He might then
experience what they are suffering.

It's Texas so thoughts and prayers are all that is needed.

Seriously.

But to your point....this is the difference between "can" and "may". Not even in Texas may someone do this.

Perhaps the parents could get some closure if they were allowed to carry out the execution themselves. Perhaps taking turns pouring gasoline over the perpetrator and then taking turns throwing burning matches at him. Personally, I think that it would be better just to put him (alive) in a coffin and bury the coffin about 10 feet down

Yeah, that would work. Give him a day's air just to make it last longer.
And ensure his parents don't dig him up

There are all sorts of things that could be done to punish such criminals, but the COTUS gets in the way. The COTUS is a big but that just gets in the way of so much that people just want to do... or not do. The COTUS is always a big but that gets in the way of people doing whatever they want to do, even when in instances like this, what they want to do does not seem like enough.

Killing such criminals will not do a lot of things. Their victims will still be dead. The families and communities will still be left with the loss. Innocent citizens will still be left having to deal with the social and political consequences that result from people seeking simple answers to hard questions. But, killing such criminals will do some things. They will die. They will not live 30-40 years or more only to be released on parole. They will not live twice as long as their victims lived. They will make money or gain fame for their crime. They will not be able to speak against those who caught them, convicted them and will execute them. They will ... like the men and women condemned at Nuremberg ... die. And everything they believed for and lived for will die. Killing such criminals will not do a lot of things. Killing them will do some things. There is a time for killing. Sincerely. bruce.

Girl he sent the gun pics to must be feeling pretty down about being dragged into his crap. Her reply to him was 'I hardly know you, why are you asking me to do this?'.

Pro-abortion Mario Cuomo always said the death penalty "brutalizes" us. Killing babies doesn't.

That cuts both ways and you know it. Stop pretending it doesn't.

[dogtag]

Yes it's really brutal being injected with a drug that lulls you to death.
A lot less brutal according to the abortionists is to crush the newborn's skull.
There's no way that could hurt. And even if it does, who cares ?
The one's who care are those that don't do it.
The ones who don't care are those that do.

Careful, those who defend infanticide will attack you.

The principle is, "Protect the innocent, punish the guilty."
