The execution of a Georgia man who murdered a cop on the side of the road in 1998 has been scheduled

[Nerfer]

That video eliminated any compassion that I could of had the first time I saw it. Seeing it a second time doesn't help. PTSD or no, executing a man like that is gut wrenching

I find it hard to think of myself as an awful person for hoping he suffers for what he did, and I think most normal would think the same.

[BLOODGA$M]

[QUOTE=Proj3ct_ZeRo;46853492]Whats the point of locking him away to rot in a cell, effectively tortured to death by confinement at the expense of tax payers? He committed a crime from which there is no return he murdered a police officer in cold blood its not about "eye for an eye" justice, its about what is reasonable.[/QUOTE]

if he killed a normal civilian instead of an officer he would be much less likely to get the death penalty

[Invadernouga]

[QUOTE=Slim Charles;46854253]I wasn't saying that I was saying I'm willing to bet something else other than being a veteran with PTSD is why he shot a police officer for pulling him over.

I even said that him having PTSD was probably part of the problem but it isn't entire thing.

Fucks sake you sh'ers are accusatory.[/QUOTE]
Don't bother. The majority of the posters here are wilfully oblivious when it comes to understanding any way how mental health care and illness works, besides what they learned from gleaning over Wikipedia.

For everyones information it is a lot cheaper to just incarcerate someone for the duration of their life rather than go for the capital punishment option, it takes a hell of a lot more time and money to allow the state to execute someone versus keeping them imprisoned till they die.

Yes, I am pretty sure everyone is aware of this considering its mentioned in every single capital punishment thread known to mankind

On a serious note, this fucked clip me up as a teenager.

[No_Excuses]

Ugh christ that video has been stuck in my head for years. Every once in a while I just think about how awful it is.

Should slit his throat and let him bleed out for that.

[ColdAsRice]

There are points where human rights for some people need to disappear. This is one. I can't fucking believe itt some actually want this guy to actually [I]get released[/I] into society, as if this shit was something like a posession charge. [I]Some people you can't fix[/I]

[No_Excuses]

[QUOTE=Explosions;46853404]What the fuck is this going to accomplish? Now there will be two dead people as a result of the incident.[/QUOTE]

His life is basically equal to dirt at the moment. Who cares what actually happens to him other than social justice warriors who think every single degenerate can be rehabilitated and should be given a second chance?

[Cypher_09]

Jesus fuck that video.

Kill this asshole.

[Saxon]

I feel sick after watching that video and I'm not easily disturbed.

I don't feel any sympathy for this guy

[Slim Charles]

Like seriously have the people who have sympathy for this cunt seen the video? The guy straight up executes the cop whilst he's screaming in pain, no mercy, no regret, no second thought.

My heart goes out to the officers family if I remember correctly he had kids too

[An Hero]

Is it just me or was there someone else in the pickup with this sick fuck?

I hope it's wasn't a dog.

[editline]asdf[/editline]
Yep it's definitely a dog.

[ExplosiveCheese]

As far as I can tell from the behavior. I don't think there is any chance of rehabilitation or reintegration on his part. Just the entire way of how he killed the officer should be more than fucking enough to either kill him or lock him up by himself forever. Literally, just keep him in a cage by himself because I'm almost certain he will kill again, either guard or a fellow inmate.

[Rusty100]

You're fucked if you think killing a man for killing a man is just.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;46854977]You're fucked if you think killing a man for killing a man is just.[/QUOTE]

Is it more humane to let a broken man with no sense of humanity live behind bars alone for the rest of his life?

I mean I don't know the answer, but infinite jail time isn't exactly the bastion of moral justice.

He might even try to kill himself in prison if the solitary gets to him, I don't know. Sitting in a small box by yourself for the rest of your life sounds like another kind of hell all together. I'd be asking for death at that point.
Your also naive as shit if you think he can be safely rehabilitated.

you're not him though so i'd leave that judgment to him

"well he cant be rehabilitated. better kill him!"

Yeah see, I'd rather not torture a man like that.

OF COURSE IT SHOULD BE UP TO HIM, but the option should be open

[QUOTE=NeverGoWest;46853722]After watching that video I now understand why american cops fills anyone with lead as soon as they reach into their car or their pockets.[/QUOTE]

Seeing it with european eyes, america is so alien sometimes.

[Dark RaveN]

I don't know about you, guys, but that Vietnam veteran should really get executed. There's no excuse to have him around.

"Living in a box for the rest of my life without my fellow humans is so much fucking fun!"
You don't have to be the man to realize what kind of hell this is. Put yourself in complete isolation and tell me how you feel afterwards.

I'm not saying we should kill him because of that. I'm just stating that because he cannot be rehabilitated, he needs to be kept far as fuck away from society. Whether the state chooses death or life in prison (Which could even worsen his mental state) is apparently up to them.

"what a piece of shit he deserves to die

but hey now. let's not "torture" him." just sounds like a vapid excuse to revenge kill a man

how is that an excuse to kill a man? how does it make death a better alternative? neither is the hallmark of humane treatment but life in a cell is still more humane than killing him. assuming he's not in excruciating physical pain.

I don't recall saying he deserves to die. My posts are "I don't want him on the streets ever again if at all possible. Keep him behind bars, if the professionals say he is fit for society then let him loose (even though it's against my gut and emotions), and if he isn't keep him behind bars until, if ever, he chooses death."

Though my instincts tell me a guy like that won't ever fit into society again.

Good job putting words in my mouth though.

hey man, I'm just looking at all the really gross winner ratings on this thread. my post was as much for everyone as it was for you.

[Dilbert]

Who cares about these dumb death penalty debates that all these threads devolve into? No one should be put to death.

I'm more interested in why this guy did what he did, but from what I read so far there isn't any clear motive.
