Terrorists SUCK

[ThisYouWillDo]

I agree with you 80% on the terrorist topic, Thorne. But I think Al Qaeida represents Islam as much as the IRA represented Roman Catholicism in Northern Ireland 30 years ago: not at all, but they tried to give the impression they did.

I also disagree with your views on summary execution: down that road there is a lynch mob.

I also heard about the Chicago murders: horrifying. I do hope they catch the bastard. They must, of course, give him a fair trial, just to make sure they got the right man, and that he didn't have a valid reason for what he did ... like self-defence.

Assuming they get the right man, and he wasn't defending himself from an attack on his own life, I wouldn't be sorry if they locked him up and threw away the key.

LOL! I know we don't agree on gun control and apparently on the death penalty, but come on! Defending himself? From five rabid sales shoppers in that Lane Bryant store, no doubt! Those white sales can be murder!

I do agree with your lynch mob concerns, however. If he'd been caught in the act, I probably wouldn't have a problem with someone taking him out right on the spot. But now, I agree with you, they have to go through all the expense and uncertainty of a trial, and they must absolutely make certain they have the right person. But I still contend that someone like this, who would kill five innocent people just because he wanted someone else's money, deserves nothing less than the death penalty. Not meaning to sound cruel or insensitive, I only hope that when they DO try him there isn't someone who thinks like you on the jury.
