1. Does a post consisting solely on this link constitute a flame?

and they point out the equality between an executed murderer and a murder victim... why, sure they're the same!

5. Absolutely not.
It seems both the families of Juny and Schwab qualify for help from this org. As well they should. Having a family member executed must be tough.
a few or the saner DUmmies try to point out the horrors of the crime, but not for long:

8. What Happened To The 11 Year Is Horrible Beyond Words
But how does executing his murderer (if it is his murderer) help improve things? Only hardens our hearts, I think.
Is it a coincidence that the states with the death penalty have the highest homicide rates, by-and-large?
Oh no, Manny! Finally executing monsters like this makes
my heart sing!
And finally, one of the most venomously rabid Choicers at the DUmp posts the best irony of all:

30. The government should not have the power of life and death
over us.
Generally, I find that people who disagree with that statement cling to the belief that the government will never have the power of life and death over them....only over the 'others' who 'deserve' the death penalty.....
While this man's actions are beyond redemption and forgiveness, I still don't think that our government has the right to take away our most fundamental Liberty interest.
