I think the only reason why they gave him the death penalty was because they felt he should have "shown" more remorse but imo just because his remorse might not have been as visible in court does not mean he was not remorseful about what he did.


However, having this attractive boy live the rest of his life in a cell causes more emotional and psychological damage versus giving him a slow painless death. What is the message that we are trying to send? What is the lesson that needs to be learned? It also would have given him more time to reflect more on what he did and how he ended up in his predicament in the first place.

F*ck him.

You wanna pull that **** here? You die as a result.

And Soul, what the hell with the "attractive boy" crap?

From Heaven of course.


I'm not sure how I feel about the death penalty. Some crimes are definitely heinous enough that the savage in me wants to be revenged by the person's own life being taken. I mean, life in prison? Sometimes it's not that long and anyway that person (say a murderer) gets to live (albeit confined), maybe learn new skills, find God, whatever, while the people they murdered can't do that. Not to mention, in this instance, sending him to prison could provide a focal point for other homegrown insurgents, who might try to get him out or make a shrine of his cell. Maybe he'd become more powerful a symbol alive and imprisoned than he would as a martyr.

It's hard to say, but in the end I think death is the best outcome here. Just doesn't feel like justice is done, if you see him in years to come giving interviews, writing books, released if he gets sick? I don't know. I'd feel happier with the **** gone off the planet. But that's just me.

Well yes we did but it was in no way clear what you were getting at, as both Urban and I have arrived at totally different conclusions, and Chula thinks something else altogether.

This is not just with me because I notice you do the same to other members as if your font is some superior being and everyone is suppose to bow down to your opinion as law. I am not sure what stick you have up your ass or what your problem is but I am not putting up with your b.s.

Your encouragement thread is a joke when you have been disrespectful yourself here on occasions.

He was looking for a clap back, so me being the person I am, I did.
