Meanwhile, the threat of us going to jail for not carrying car insurance is, alas, very real. I'm sure Hasan in Texas will suitably fry in the electric chair of the most aggressive death-penalty state of the union. Whoops, no, he'll be tried in military court. Firing squad? What does our military use? I am reminded of the brilliant mathematician John Nash, the paranoid schizophrenic made generally famous by the movie, "A Beautiful Mind". His fear of government plot, top-secret activity, and Russian threat; his imagining he was working for the CIA, etc. If Nash was experiencing that today, instead of his converting his office and a garage into a demonstration of his paranoid schizophenrenia (his cutouts, charts, etc) - he'd have an internet webpage and a few thousands "followers".

Frankly, I think Hasan deserves the firing squad. You get what you give.

Truthfully in this particular case I'm on your side but for the reason death would be a lesser punishment than facing life as a paraplegic with lets just say less than perfect care.

That's one issue where for me there is no black and white, no ifs or maybes - no condition under which I think it's okay. |

lol I'm the complete opposite. I'm barbaric and feel that rapist and child molesters should be executed (in almost all circumstances). That mormon guy who just got convicted of child rape should be hanged. Also anyone convicted of 1st degree murder should be executed. And it should happen fairly quickly. Methinks if that was the way of the law there would be much less violent crime.

if anyone deserves the death penalty it's that monster of a woman whose 5 year old daughter was just found dead in n.c. she gave the girl to a guy-he is on surveillance cameras carrying the girl into a motel. apparently she prostituted her own daughter. words cannot describe how disgusted i am about this story. i'm no proponent of the death penalty. i recommend anyone who can to read leonard pitts' article about the death penalty after the d.c. sniper was given an injection last week. it mirrors my sentiments. on one level, i don't think the state should be in the business of killing its citizens. on a more visceral level, at times i think 'kill the bastard'. hell, there've been times where i thought i'd even volunteer to pull the switch, push in the plunger.... |

Giving the bastard Hasan the chair would be too good for him. Let one the relatives of the innocent victims that he killed shot him to death. |
