Ft. Hood Shooting Suspect to Face Death Penalty

Platapus · 07-07-11, 03:55 PM

I can't think of a more appropriate case for the death penalty.

Of course there is no real difference between the death penalty and life in prison any more.

Although I agree with the death penalty, this lets this sucker get off too easy.

I was about to suggest firing squad as the form of execution, but that would be giving him a soldiers death. Which is, by old military tradition, an honorable way to go out as opposed to other forms of execution. So I think they should just hang him like the dog he is instead. A long drop and a short stop.

Of course in reality, its all about "the needle" nowadays.

Meh!
They will probably say he was insane because
he was just "Crazy about that sort of thing".

I say give him a Black Hood and that LONG drop.
All the while wearing the prisoner garb.
Then bury him in an unmarked grave.

Actually I think a firing squad consisting of really bad marksmen would do the trick.

It also determined if he had a severe mental illness that day, and if so, whether such a condition prevented him from knowing at the time that his alleged actions were wrong.

What kind of crap is this? He ran around singing "Allahu Akbar". I think that thats complete B.S and a slap in the face to those who died that his defence attorney is saying, well he turned into a murderous rampaging terrorist one day and then snapped out of it after they shot him

This is what I would suggest but thats just me...

I think seeing as this man is a shrink himself he may have a hard time with a mental illness claim after all he should have known something was wrong and spoken to another shrink if he truly was "mentally ill".

If he gets a firing squad I'd prefer they be good shots seeing as they aim for center mass and hed get hit in the heart and lungs he would not die for 20 or 30 seconds maybe longer.I viewed on some show an ER doc saying that even if your heart was blown apart you will still be alive for about 20 seconds.

Looking at what he did and the number of lives he is responsible for taking, the death penalty does sound appropriate IMHO.

Alive, perhaps, but you lose consciousness almost immediately due to the rapid drop in blood pressure.

I also agree with you. Spending the rest of your life in a cell, paralyzed and crapping in a bag also sounds like a good punishment.

I am not 100% sure but I do believe that the US military does still hang those who receive the death sentence or it is an option for the convicted.I think I read some place that the US military has not executed anyone in some time I think I recall reading that there where three or four guys at Ft.Leavenworth waiting it seems that a military execution(of a military member) requires the presidents approval.

I think of the others that Bush approved not long before he left office (two had been waiting since his dad was in office the other since Clinton's time) One had murdered Germans and other military members back in the early 80s the other had killed civilians near his base in the states back in the 80s and the last guy had beat a fellow solider to death because he was gay.

I am pretty sure if Hasan gets death he wont have to wait as long but who knows.Of course seeing as he is paralyzed that may effect how they go about it even if there are choices.
