First he asked them to hand over the money in the till then told them to knell down and then shot them in the back of the head? He got his money why shoot them??? He's wearing a mask so they can't identify him so what is the point of shooting them??? The pizza guy was only 16yrs old just begining his life and probably his first job. Shot dead over $200.
When the police arrested him they should of put a bullet in the back of his head.

It is a shame that there are bad people in this world that have no remorse for life. But shouldn't we, as civilized people, show some self control to our emotions? I feel sorry for the victims and their families, but killing off a convicted person is not the way of the Lord. Has the Lord come down and told us "Thou shall NOT kill - Unless its a convicted felon"? I just recall God stating the first part of that statement. It's a very cold and cruel punishment to strap a man into a chair and melt his brain so that it comes out his nose and mouth. That's about the same as putting someone in a microwave. It's just sick and disturbing! |
Yeah i see your point, yet in the old testament God says:
Exodus Chapter 21: verse 23-25.
23) But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life.
24)"Eye for an eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
25) Burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
But christains will argue my statement saying thats the old testament, its the new testament we should go by, as Jesus came and taught forgiveness. - if a man strikes you on the left cheek turn the other cheek so he can strike you on the right cheek (forgot the full words but something like that.) Im not saying Jesus is wrong either. In fact to follow Jesus woud be much harder than the old testament. And what about Theres a time for war and a time for peace. Isn't God really saying theres a time to go out and kill and a time not to kill?
Also our last crim put to death was in 1957 he was hanged, then the death penalty was abolished. If we brought back the death penalty it would be the hanging gallows - no frying the brain treatment. Which i think hanging would be a bit moreless gruesome?:hmm:
