They lock them down to prevent any riots....Radio said he had no family visitors lately. He had several kids and some grandchildren. He did not request any family members be present. One minute to go.........................BLAST OFF. I hope he made his peace with God..
You live in Pearl. I'm sure you have seen his photo in the paper. Fat after over 24 years in prison. His victim was only 24. I say take away all tv, ac, and recreation privileges. I went to the federal "prison" at Eglin AFB. They work unrestricted on the base, have a lighted softball field, a minature golf course, a band room where they can check out "any" instrument" to jam, visitors, separate cubicles, color tvs, able to check out fishing gear to fish off of a bay that backs up to the "prison", grills on the beach to cook their catch, and a topless and bottomless club across from them that only has a chainlink fence separating them from the girls. The place is well known for dope too. BUT, if they screw up, ATLANTA'S big time prison.
TOTALLY AGREE....Right now he is either rejoycing in Heaven or burning in Hell...IMO. Welcome to the hereafter. Or as Martin says, "you are now worm food." :shock:
putting this guy aside, i cant help but feel bad for his family. to have to go through the pain they do because your loved one was so evil. and for his family to know that their loved one put the victims family in a life time of pain and loss. dont get me wrong, it is tragic for the victim that they lost their life. but so many more lives are effected for a long long time after. i dont know if the victims family believes in justice or if this will give them any closure, but it will never give them their loved one back. the killer may be gone, but his crime will last for ever for some people.
Raped, beaten, and left to die in a locked boxcar in the Texas summer heat. I have never associated the word tragic with my friend's death. I cannot even consider that the family of this, this ... experienced the sheer terror and suffering that my friend did. He should be thankful that he was given the opportunity for the State of Texas to carry out his execution.
maybe i wasnt clear. i agree with the death penalty. and am in no way downplaying what his victim went through. maybe tragic wasnt a good word. in fact, after rereading, i didnt word most of the post very well. but i was thinking of the families. both his, that they have to live with the knowledge that their loved one could do such a thing, and the girls family to have to live with it the rest of their lives. trying to say that even tho he is gone (which is not a bad thing) the pain he caused is going to last forever for many people. there are many victims that will always suffer from what he did. not the way the girl did, but his crime in a way, will never end.
You can thank the ACLU and the bleeding heart liberals for this waste of your tax dollars. The majority of violent crimes are commited by recidivists who we're continually told are great candidates for rehabilitation. :dis:
