Rarely does someone other than the Roman Catholic Church pay so much attention to the products of meiosis (in a moral sense, anyway). It is so unfortunate that Virginia does not make masturbation a misdemeanor for men, at least. Thank you for thinking of the gametes!

As you pointed out, the people are the ones who imposed the sentence and all the state did was carry out the people's wishes. The people were concerned about the victims and the future victims, should this piece of human garbage get loose again. In the case of a cold blooded murderer, who took so many lives, its better to err on the side of caution to protect the people, than complain about " moral vacuity"! In my view, MB's post fits the dictionary definition of the word, more than the people who sat on the jury, on in fact the state.

Are you heartless for the victims of this foul creature? Appears that way! What is your solution for dealing with people who randomly pick up a weapon and start killing innocent human beings? An afternoon at Dairy Queen? Movie and dinner? A run to Kings Dominion for the weekend? Putting the burden of supporting these soul-less, people, who would take other human life, by putting them in prison, on the taxpayers isn't punishment to the felon, its punishment to the taxpayers.

He might have shot white strangers at random, only killing a few black victims to make it seem as if race was not an issue. *******(London Telegraph) Malvo further testified that Muhammad wanted him to shoot pregnant white women. At one moment, he even had a pregnant woman in his sights in a fast-food restaurant. “I just couldn’t take the shot,” said Malvo. So why has the media buried the racist motivation for these crimes?

That said, I'm not going to shed a tear for Muhammed tonight. Perhaps it's because I lived up here back then, pumped my gas at a gas station in Manassas the day before someone was killed there, and had one of the shootings take place a mere 1.5 from where I was living at the time.
