I believe in the death penalty, but only if this condition exists…

If it should turn out that an innocent person was executed “by mistake”, then the prosecutor(s), judge, and jury will all be exectued also, for the murder an innocent person.

After all, that innocent person’s relatives deserve “closure” as well, don’t they?

That is the ONLY way to be sure the system will be truly fair.

You said "he certainly TERRORIZED a city"....What is a city not big enough? Maybe a seaboard would have been better. Terrorism is not just political as your context suggests. It has been motivated, in the past, by greed, race, religion, and polilics as well. Re-read your post....you kind of contradict yourself.

Exactly why would you thank the military for knowing some German? Did they fund the Rosetta Stone course for you? If you have an authentic Arabic accent, that explains a lot. While not all Arabic people are so self-righteous and haughty, many like you are. Many believe they are so much smarter, so much wiser than Americans. I can't figure out why you kill goats in your homes and let blood run all over the place on your dirt floors, then think having a dog in the house is nasty. Yes, been there. Not impressed. What does the sand do to some of you people? While I do not agree we should be in Iraq and think we should have handled Afghanistan differently, I think you take the lives of our military too lightly. They follow orders (most of them) and if you are an American citizen, some have died for YOU. You are a sick man, and I agree with another poster, that most of what you write makes no sense at all.

No thanks to the US military that we can read this in Englisch. They were not around when I was being edumacated in US schools. They were busy protecting me from Vietnamese pheasants who were just itching to invade the US and turn us in to Godless Communists. We can thank the US military that I now speak German more or less, with a pronounced Arabic accent. I wonder how the US military performed such magic? To Ale,

Your use of "maroon" when I think you meant "moron" and Violet for "violent" are probably typing errors and we all do that. It is the rest of your comment that has people scratching their heads with ?????????? is he talking about and does he even know what he is saying? My question is do you really believe the death of our troops "only kill military personnel" (your quote) is OK. If that was your intention then I must remind you that if you are reading this blog in English you should thank our military. Without us ( I am an old Vet) you would be reading it in German, Japanese or Russian IF AT ALL. Kurt Kastens: I agree with the other comments.

Talk about a person who does not know what they believe in. Most liberals do not know what they believe in and change their mind when it affects them personally. I laugh at a person who says the death penalty is wrong even if the killer murdered my child in front of me. To that I say BS. If your spouse, parents or child were murdered in front of you 99 percent plus of you would want the killer to pay the ultimate price. For Malvo and other killers, including OJ, Dahmer, Gacy etc. the death penalty is proper and should be mandatory. The standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt" has worked for centuries. Leave it alone.

It is sad that a person of your decrepit educative stature be defending those who are against our Great Nation. It doesn't matter how long ago our forefathers signed the constitution. You and your family have been enjoying its fruit since birth. I always recommend those who side with our enemies to leave our Nation and go live in our enemies' homeland. Once there to do as you are doing here. I am pretty sure you would not last long. Hassan, although everyone says different, has been against this Nation since he was born. Muslims hide behind every scenario to carry out their mission--to kill the infidels, name given to the Americans. Yes, he was born here, took advantage of all given opportunities to get to where he thought was good enough to carry out his final objective. I am pretty sure his defense will be another muslim and will claim insanity. Why? Because it is the plan he always had. He is instructed from childhood these believes and the most effective manner to carry these out. Sure, When have you heard a muslim talk bad about another muslim? Never. For your information, there are 24 muslim organizations in the USA that have as their objective Our Great Nation. Those organizations met in Chicago just prior to Obama (another muslim) winning the elections. One of their main objectives had been achieved, getting Obama into the White House. Now their next grand objective is to be achieved. By 2008 there were 100,000 muslims in the USA. Their objective--to have 50,000,000 muslims by 2038. Mister wake up and this is a wakeup call to the USA. I have always compared the people from those countries as camelions because they act the same way. In order to achieve whatever objective they propose, they will adjust accordingly. I Pray to God that what happened in Texas and before in Washington, never happen where you and yours are and that anything like that happen to your loved ones. If it happens you will change your mind and way of thinking. By the way I firmly believe that those who commit those crimes do not deserve to be kept breathing the same air I breathe. Particularly when I and all tax payers have to support and maintain them in jail, in good health and eating well, while waiting for a trial and all the appeals they go through. Knowing there are millions of children in our Nation that go to sleep every night without a good meal. I prefer tax dollars be feeding those children than those murderers and terrorists. Good luck with you English classes! Curt and those that agree with you. It is sad that a person of your decrepit educative stature be defending those who are against our Great Nation.
