I’m from Tennessee.. I would prefer to have them all hanging from the gallows in the Public Square in Knoxville, until the buzzards pick them down to the bone.. Good example for other current or “would be” Hood Rats..

Hanging’s too good for them.

You are right and you are a decent person. I’m with you.

One more thought, I may not be overly religious but I despise people out there who think because they go to church every Sunday (like my liberal brother-in-law and his saintlike family) that that makes them better than the rest of us. I hate this moralizing BS who wants empathy for scum like this monster just to feel that being a good Christian makes you a “better” human being.

Religion doesn’t protect any of us. I have no problem with religion or those who practice it, only in those who are hypocrites for not following its tenants and lecturing the rest of us on what we’re missing in our own lives.

So many “Christians” have no idea what the Bible says, and only have this weak, squishy FEELING about everything that says that the criminal is the REAL victim, and that he needs compassion, not punishment and justice as the consequences for his vile actions. If you go through God’s commandments, it tells clearly that for the taking of a life, the taker’s must be taken. I do not believe that there is anyplace where God changed his mind on this issue.

Capital punishment is the result of Adam’s fall–he is the blame for all rebellion, corruption, fraud, and death throughout history…for one act of disobedience. How anyone can argue that their beliefs that are based upon the BIBLE tell them that capital punishment is wrong is beyond me. It comes from people who don’t read and understand the scriptures that they purportedly hold to.

Just pointing out the obvious…that’s all…

I would not criticize this jury for taking eight hours. It means they are doing their job.

I wonder what they did for the other 7 hours and 59 minutes.

Some of us HAVE lived it. And there can be no rest in our soul until justice, real true justice, is done.

Hurt my child, hurt my wife, hurt my dog and I will hunt you down like the rabid animal you are and hurt you more. No empty threat. A full blown promise.

(Note: “You”, as used above is the collective, not a personalization, and should not be taken as a threat to anyone in particular at this time.)

Roland, maybe if you lived it, you would feel differently. And believe me when I say that I believe in the death penalty. More than believe in it. But it does not have to make us inhuman or inhumane. For any person to read through some of the above thread and NOT cringe at the bloodlust would be hard. we do not need to relish their pain, we just need to rid the world of them. and no, I was not saying we are just like them. I was saying we do not ever want to be.

You have got to be kidding, right? To want these people who did monstrous things to “suffer” and see justice done is not “bloodlust.” Your experience does not represent the experiences of all crime victims and their families. I lost a high school classmate, who I worked side by side with, to a similar fate as the two young kids in Tennessee.

She was tied up, raped, and strangled. The rest of her family was tied up and shot dead. Their home was set on fire to hide evidence. All for a BURGLERY. The good news is that the black mother and son duo who did this were caught. The son was shot dead by the police in a shoot out and the mother is still in prison.

Perhaps, if we had more public executions, these pieces of filth would think twice. As for people like me, who have to live with the aftereffects, the fear, the anger, and the grief, it reminds us that there will always be monsters out there ready to hurt us.

You can pray to God and think you’re better than the rest of us, but at the end of the day it’s up to God to judge us. Not you or anybody else.

Who do you wanna bet they voted for? McCain?
These are Obama’s peeps.

Rob, I’d wanna bet that they didn’t vote for either. In addition to your ODS, from the tone of your other posts it would appear you have an anger management problem. You really should see someone, you’d probably have a much happier life.

Isn’t it amusing that the same liberal suffering from BDS has the audacity to lecture another on BDS? I guess we learn from experience, don’t we les?

On another point, I find it hilarious that liberals have turned the corner on “happiness” and feel fully confident to lecture the rest of us on how to be “happy.” It’s like an Oprah moment gone terribly wrong.

Les, dear, you and many other liberals, don’t have a clue what constitutes happiness. You’re so busy guilt-tripping the rest of us to continue pulling along the dregs of society and pay for failed experiments from other countries, that you’ve failed to notice that your fear-mongering doesn’t make people happy.

Liberals are some of the most UNHAPPY people of going. Their little consciences pain them with guilt about how their actions appear to others. It’s really sad. Happiness and liberals are not interchangeable or rather… happiness isn’t exclusive to liberals like you.

I’m just tired of these animals ruling urban areas. It seems if you had a bad childhood or were abused it gives you an excuse to torture, maim, and murder two innocent kids. Where is the justice and protection for the victims?

The world will be a better place when we clean up places like Knoxville’s new taxpayer-subsidized “projects” and the sewers and scum they create.

Woo hoo!!! Great response. This “makes us like them” is the same crap liberals spew. The more suffering these scum endure the better. It is that thinking that has allowed our society to become ultra tolerant to people who deserve no tolerance or respect. Which in turn spawned freaks like these.
