I have always been a firm believer that the enemies of liberty that seek martyrdom through murder should be granted their wish ASAP.
It is the least we could do in the name of multiculturalism.
Me being against capital punishment has a lot to do with it.
I would not have been upset if he was gunned down in the process but I am simply not in favor of state sanctioned executions.
But I will not cry when his day comes.

Same here. I'm all for killing people in self defence but once they are no longer a threat I dont see the point. I also don't like the idea of taking part in assisted suicide which is what this execution will be. I imagine a life sentence would have really pissed him off. When Moussoui was sentenced to life in solitary confinement he went crazy and threw a bit of a hissy fit. He wanted to be a martyr. In some ways executing a person is doing them a favour. Solitary confinement doesnt sound too pleasant, neither does military prison. Then there is the method of death. A natural death is usually a hell of a lot more painful and unpleasant than a needle. I remember a few months ago someone started a thread about RIchard Ramirez's death on death row. Some pro death penalty folks were not happy about him dying a natural death but liked the idea of making him suffer. Not all, but some. He died of cancer. That is slow and very painful as anyone who has seen a person die of cancer knows.
Who knows if that day will come. It has been 50 years since the last time the US military executed anyone and it isn't because there was no one on death row. Bush did sign a death warrant for someone on military death row shortly before he left office but for some reason it didn't go through.
Calling him a martyr doesn't mean much. Its those who may be inspired by him and decide to follow in his footsteps which is the potential problem.
Ridiculous isn't it.
Someday the event will be categorized properly and the injured will get the recognition they deserve.
I think Obama didn't want to characterize this incident of work place violence as terrorism because an act of terrorism on his watch would have embarrassed him.
You're an interesting character. You obviously love America...or at least your version of it. And I think you love your ideas too. I used to be like that.
I agree. This case shouldn't have been handled as a court martial. The better approach would have been to handle this matter administratively as a worker's compensation case.
It's where I keep most of my stuff.
I would hope so. Why would one bother to hold ideas one didn't love?
What'd you run out of, love or ideas?
Wont be. The chair is off the books for military executions now.
The number of victims and the nature of the work place perhaps. If someone had done this in a bank or a restaurant I imagine it would have still gotten a lot of attention.
Sorry to hear that.
Oh, the dwama!
I calculate there's a whole bunch of higher levels of consciousness you ain't attained.
I think it's appalling that Obama didn't declare this a case of terrorism if only because the victums aren't eligible for the benefits they would have otherwise received had it been declared correctly. Obama is a Prick in plain English! (i.e. no **%$**!.
