If he truly wanted to become a martyr, he wouldn't have walked away after placing the bomb.

This is what I meant, he would have went down in the fight. He even got a second chance at his so-called "martrydom" at the boat scene. I wonder how radical jihadists view him, something tells me his actions will not gain him his virgins upon his death. What a bunch of nonsense anyway. ${#emotions_dlg.angry}$

The guilty verdict was expected. His defense attorney practically stipulated as to his guilt. It's the sentence that is in doubt.

I am in favor of life w/o parole. When terrorists like him murder as he and his brother did, they are inhuman. That doesn't mean that our whole society needs to act with the same abandonment of the Commandments.

My main objection to the death penalty is always first that we can't be sure of ourselves. This time I fully believe the verdict, but I still cannot condone the death penalty. I could not have served on his jury for that very reason.

I just heard a lawyer on TV describe what his sentence will be like if he gets life.

He will spend 23 hours in a cell with no TV, basically staring at the walls....with one hour out for SOLITARY exercise.

McVeigh stopped all appeals and went to his death. The solitary confinement was driving him insane.

This guy is 20...he may have 60-65 years of this to look forward to.

I am normally opposed to the death penalty except in clear-cut, extreme cases. This is definitely one of those cases. The crimes were monstrous, hideous, and beyond tragic. There is no question of his redemption. There's no punishment that fits these crimes but this individual does not deserve to live among the rest of us humans.

A fate worse than death in my mind.

That's a fate much worse than death. The death penalty would be a gift for him to avoid that.

I can understand why McVeigh wanted to die rather than "live" like that.

I think we should be more concerned with him influencing others in prison and trying to convert them to a perverted, extreme form of Islam. This is how many are recruited. He will be serving life but he could potentially rub elbows with other inmates who are not serving life and might be ripe for the conversion.

He was a teen age stoner...not exactly a crazy jihadist.

Teen age stoner...right. SMH. What would it take for you to actually take what he did seriously?

TexasMom1 · ‎03-09-2010

I honestly think lethal injection is too easy for him if he should get the death penalty. Just saying...If not the death penalty, play the victim impact statements in his cell, 23 hours a day. Let him listen to what he did for the rest of his life. No peace, no silence, nothing.

SMH is right - mayber terrier want to sell advertising to him.

He stopped being a ""teen-ager"" when he blew apart innocent people. There is nothing about him that is a normal teen.

For the sake of all that is holy already!

Lethal Injection IS the death penalty. What don't you understand about the word lethal? Whatever form of state execution used, it is no picnic for the one waiting for the end to come. Lethal injection causes sudden cardiac arrest, but the time it takes varies with the individual.
