Agreed.

There's a chance he might be, but it's iffy, Jamie. Here, if someone dies as a result of a traffic crime like when a pedestrian or vehicle passenger is killed during a police chase or a hit and run, a person can and usually is charged with vehicular manslaughter, but if someone dies during the commision of a felony, they can and usually are charged with murder - it all depends on what category his gas-n-run falls into, felony or traffic crime, depending on applicable local laws.

Hun, if I thought I was getting the short end of the stick somehow, I'd rectify the situation. Obviously I don't.

Gas prices are already about 104.9ish, and some gas stations's signs only have 3 digits.

[DjZvEr]

104.9? is that like 1.04 and 9/10?

[blush]

104.9 cents is indeed $1.049.

No need for sarcasum. I just never saw people write it that way.

[blush]

Gas being over a dollar a litre is a relatively new development. It's always been measured in cents, as in 69.9 cents or whatever. Some gas stations are having to get rather creative, since they only have room for 3 digits on the sign.

[Sam Granger]

People like that should be shot - waste of space & money.

Hope he gets what he deserves.

[blush]

We'd be shooting a lot of people then - most gas stations get several gas&runs a week, and it is utter foolishness and stupidity to run after one.

I personally wouldn't feel happy that my tax money is going towards feeding retards in prisons - would save a lot of space & money that could be spent on other things.

but you are talking about liberal America where the death penalty is against the law in most states. The BTK killer in kansas IMHO should be executed by all rights, but nope, he got several life sentenses. Yeah, he will die in jaill, but the public still has to foot the bill. On a side note, I was watching a program about him and he didnt show any remorse for any of his victims, the only remorse he showed was for loosing his own freedom.

"I would like to express my deepest regrets for killing your (insert reference here), I am deeply sorry for getting caught and losing my freedom for what I did."

It should be considered though, that a person who is forced to live their life without freedom, especially if there's a way to make them serve it unhappily, it is sometimes a far worse torture than death.

Personally I dont care about how uncomfortable they are, just that my dollars are buying their housing, food, clothing, and medical treatment. If you get a chance, watch the interview with him. He was absolutely devoid of emotion, almost smug when talking about how he chose, stalked, and killed his victims. Sickening. The only reason he stopped is because he said he was getting too old and thought that his victims would be able to put up too much of a fight.

It's been proven many times that sentencing someone to death is more expensive than giving them life in prison.

The actual act of the death penalty isnt, just the process to get to that point with appeals upon appeal uppon apeal sure is. But if you have irrefutable evidence there shouldnt be more than one appeal, just a hypodermic needle. For example, more than 3 unrelated eye witnesses to the murder/s, un edited video capture of the murder, evidence that is not circumstancial in nature (dna or other forensic evidence that cannot be linked to anyone else). Of course things such as mental capacity, emotional state, situation the murders are commited should all be considered, but in the case of cold blooded premeditated murders like the BTK killer, life should not be an option. That is my personal view.

Reminds me of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Ron White was saying how in Texas, if there are more than 3 credible eye witnesses to the crime you commited, you don't sit on death row for 10 years jack, you go to the front of the line.

"Some states are trying to abolish the death penalty. My state's putting in an express lane."

Costs more to kill somebody than to keep them in prison for the rest of their lives though. We've been over this so many times.

I am blind and stupid
