Wow... I read that as "DC rapper" and was like, who?? lol

My brother in law lives in Maryland and gassed-up the same morning at a station where the sniper killed a person. A couple of years ago he took me to that station when I needed gas. It was kind of creepy thinking about what had happened as I pumped gas.

Why are lethal injection needles always sterilized before an execution?

I can't say that I disagree with this sentence. There are times when I don't believe that the state has a right to kill anyone, I think of the terror that this man created, the lives he ruined, and I can't help but agree that justice was done in this case.

Does anyone know what his accomplice is up to?? He was so young at the time.

Those infections can get pretty nasty.

What puzzles me is that capital punishment is reserved for murders that are premeditated or planned because we've determined that the premeditation makes the killing more heinous.

There are no killings, however, more premeditated than capital punishment.

I agree.

Burn in Hell for all eternity.

He's serving life without parole.

I believe he was 17 at the time.

I am not sure I agree any longer with the sentiment behind this quote from LOTR but for some reason it is still one of my favorites.

"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends."

What goes around comes around!

How far might we attribute Muhammad's psychological state to Gulf War Syndrome?

"Burn in Hell for all eternity" indeed, indeed. How very Christian.

Capo, once again you take a general shot at a religion based on what a few people have posted. Over in another thread you made a post saying that you wondered why you stay here. I was cordial to you in that post. Then I came across this one.

Stop taking general shots at these boards and at people's religious backgrounds. It's quite obvious that you are attempting to ruffle some feathers and start a flame war. It's getting old already.

If you still are wondering why you stay here, if you don't like being on these boards and don't like the religious beliefs of many here or don't like the people here, then all I can tell you is don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I wasn't taking a shot at 'Christianity' as some general concept. I just find the kind of venom Mig's displaying ironic, disturbing, and hypocritical.

"Burn in hell for all eternity" is nothing if not religiously loaded. It's disturbing, venomous, (unconsciously) ironic, and hypocritical. So it wasn't a 'general shot', it was quite specific to a certain kind of backward behaviour on display.

I'm actually attempting the opposite of a flame war.
