I'm just saying that if we can't find reason enough to administer lethal injections to any of the other 400+ inmates at Florence, I doubt we're going to make an example out of a 19 year old Chechnyan kid that has by most accounts cooperated fully since being captured. Foreign terrorists are handled differently than domestics, and even then McVeigh was one of the exceptions. Who knows why we're still paying to keep Kaczynski, Nichols, Rudolph, and a boat load of other bombers alive.

Am I the only one that's seen Silence of the Lambs? Who do you think is solving these cases?!

For most adults (i.e. 40+) I remember reading/hearing that it is generally cheaper to have them serve a life sentence than a death sentence due to all of the further public costs associated with the increased appeals (court costs, judges, public defenders, etc.), the absurd amount of time before they actually make it to the injection bed even after the longer appeals process is finished, and other related costs that are incurred by the government in one way or another. For a 19 year-old kid, that formula is likely very different, though.

Some states have put a moratorium on seeking the death penalty for this very reason.

After he's found guilty, would it be OK then to use the remaining pressure cooker bomb and place it next to his feet?

I struggle with the highly ambiguous feelings that I want him alive.. so he can tell us every single detail we need to know... yet not giving a shit how horrible things are after we get that

Looks like he took down the pics...the Dailymail has put them up and they can also be found via Google cache.

A whole lotta crazy in the comments section. Apparently it was just a coverup to deflect attention away from the 150+ killed in China by an earthquake started by a test of the US weather machine (HAARP?). There's also some serious Stormfront racial warfare stuff in there.

Sometimes I think the internet is nothing more than a massive IQ test .... and far too many people are failing it.

Which is foolish. If you want to put a moratorium on capital punishment, do so because of the disturbing number of individuals who have been exonerated through later use of DNA evidence.

Obviously. Anyone who's anyone knows that the Soviets/Russians have always been at the forefront of weather change technology.
