Church massacre

[Lord Jim]

Lib, I find these comments troubling:

He is a twenty one year old kid death would be a more humane punishment for him than to be tortured for the next sixty years. Kill him and get it over with; “Death is not the worse thing that can happen to a free man“.

Hanging may seem gruesome, but if it is done right I suspect that it is as humane a way to kill a person than any other way.

You seem to be, (in my opinion) overly concerned with a mass murderer who executed nine people in cold blood while they were praying in their church....

Being treated "humanely"...

I want this scumbag to receive the death penalty, not because I think it would be a more "humane" punishment...

But because I believe justice demands that he be sent to Hell with all the deliberate speed that the law allows...

I don't want him dawdling around for 60 years till he receives the fate he's earned...

A fellow like this deserves an express ticket....

And along those same lines...

If the feds want to insist on this superfluous, PC, feel-good, "hate crime" stuff, I hope they will conduct the sideshow in such a way that it won't delay Mr. Roof's date with the gurney ride to hell by so much as one single day....

He just seemed like a stupid mean child given to too much drugs and alcohol and RW-hate literature, and from a broken home. If the sons of confederate veterans and their lies about history didn't exist, neither would he.

I don’t agree with your RW-hate literature and the sons of confederate veterans comment, but I do agree that if he had not found that web site he would have not been in that church. To me the most troubling question is how many more times could something like this happen?

[MajGenl.Meade]

Well, I do agree about the SCV.

I suppose people visiting church websites is likely to happen quite often. I just visited St John's in Bloemfontein

I doubt that. If it wasn't this "justification" he would have found another.
Disillusionment looking for a "cause".

I feel the same about Roof as I do about the four black guys that kidnapped, enslaved, raped and murder Christian and her boyfriend in Knoxville some years ago. Both committed horrible crimes and both should die for it. But neither should be tortured. I see no reason to become hysterical about it, just kill them humanly and get it over with.

Jim--I am always more concerned with the way I act than how someone else does. Likewise, I am concerned with the way my government acts in my name. To m it has nothing to do with the sort of person the killer is, it has to do with the sort of person I am. It has nothing to do with feeling about the horror of the crime.
