Scott Roeder Found Guilty in 40 Minutes

Good! The jury did the absolutely right thing here. There should be no debate, no delib­er­a­tion, no con­tem­pla­tion. If you kill peo­ple, any peo­ple, just because your sky-daddy tells you to, you are a mur­derer. Now, because I actu­ally have con­sis­tent and log­i­cal moral beliefs, I hope that this cock-sucker is sen­tenced to life in prison. Because state-sanctioned mur­der is just as rep­re­hen­si­ble as sky-daddy sanc­tioned murder.

    I couldn’t agree more!

    Agreed. The state shouldn’t kill peo­ple. If we wouldn’t put so many fuck­ing peo­ple in prison for stu­pid ass drug charges, we’d have plenty of places to stuff all the homi­ci­dal jack­asses we pro­duce. I’ll keep my thoughts about those num­bers and gun con­trol to myself for now…

    That, and liv­ing in the gen­eral pop­u­la­tion of a max­i­mum secu­rity prison for the next 30 – 50 years is a much bet­ter pun­ish­ment any­way. The death penalty is way over­rated. Be care­ful in the show­ers, Scott!

    State incom­pe­tence lead­ing to inno­cent peo­ple being exe­cuted aside, I always thought the death penalty as the appro­pri­ate pun­ish­ment was a weak argu­ment from the pro-execution crowd. “Putting them down” to sate our rage over­looks that this is essen­tially what we do with our beloved pets when they get old.

    Incarceration for life with no chance of parole is a far more sat­is­fy­ing pun­ish­ment for me. The sadist in me wants these fuck­ers to rot in a cell, iso­lated from the world for the rest of their wretched lives.

    Besides, in case the xian fundies are any­thing like the mus­lim fundies, we wouldn’t want to pro­vide them with a mar­tyr, now would we? It’s a lot harder to put him up on a pedestal for your mind­less death-cult fol­low­ers to admire when he’s get­ting reg­u­lar rec­tal exams from his cellmate…
