Nineteen Canteen Posted 11 November, 2009 Share Posted 11 November, 2009 The man behind the 2002 sniper attacks in and around Washington DC has been executed after a final appeal was thrown out. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8352735.stm . You'll do well to listen to some of the relatives of those who he killed. I'm not getting into the whole death penalty debate we've done that recently but in a lesson in how to conduct yourself when a person is deliberately killed then the man I heard on the radio was very dignified. Let's face it he had more of a right to a response such as your thread title but chose not to perhaps recognising that even in his heinous crimes the man was still someone's son. sibling or maybe father thereby creating more suffering on innocent victims. I don't know what the answer is but 'Good riddance and no real loss' is not it of that I am certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerx16 Posted 11 November, 2009 Share Posted 11 November, 2009 (edited) If the guy was genuinely mentally ill after being involved in the Gulf War, then surely the system let him down big time ? Edited 11 November, 2009 by badgerx16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 11 November, 2009 Share Posted 11 November, 2009 Whether or not he was ill, IMO a lengthy prison sentence would be far better justice for the Victims then the death penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, he installed the death penalty on 10 innocent people so it's only fitting he received the same punishment, as you say good riddance no real loss just taxpayers money saved.
