		<description><![CDATA[In agreement to the others that have replied to you, I also want to interject, that it isn&#039;t about bringing back the person who got killed.  It&#039;s about punishing someone for their inhumane, senseless act against another, innocent human being.  Most people learn to treat others with respect when they are disciplined as children.  However, for those crazies out there that never had the appropriate upbringing, and think it is okay, or even a hobby, to harm another human being-they do not deserve to be given the same rights as those innocent people, who are following the rules and living their lives as good contributing members of society, plain and simple.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Exactly.  I myself have thought &quot;gee, this death penalty thing is kind of going against the whole turn the other cheek thing, or though shall not kill&quot;, or whatever you want to compare it to.  Then I think to myself &quot;Hmmmm, if my child/mom/dad/grandparent/friend were to be killed by someone, such as the scenario in this case (or any other scenario for that matter), I know for a FACT I would want that person dead.&quot;  Pretty sure that is a very human feeling.  Heck, when my car got broken into years ago, I wanted to find the person who did it and have them thrown in jail, I was so pissed.  I couldn&#039;t even imagine how upset/horrified I&#039;d be if someone close to me was physically victimized.  Yeah, the animal would pay in that scenario, one way or another, because if we as a society didn&#039;t make him pay in a legal way, families/friends of victims would enact their own vengeance, and then we would be a very uncivilized society indeed!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The convicted killer suffered for 25 minutes and everybody is upset about this. I&#039;m upset about the fear of his victims and the horrible death of being buried alive. I think the torture of his victims lasted longer then the death of this killer. Keeping in mind that he had a choice, if he hadn&#039;t kill he would not have been sentenced to death. No Lockett is no victim he&#039;s convicted to the death penalty where Stephanie is the only victim.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not really.  I&#039;m actually pretty ambivalent about the death penalty...so no bias one way or the other.  I certainly have little or no room in my heart to feel badly about how Lockett died.  If I were a better Christian I would, but I&#039;m not and I don&#039;t.

How could Hollins have the opportunity to be generous or not be generous when the poor girl was being buried alive if she (Hollins) wasn&#039;t even there?  It&#039;s Greenfield&#039;s paragraph as originally written that doesn&#039;t make sense. 

It&#039;s an honest mistake I guess, but unless the Shillman Journalism Fellowship is an award given out to promising eighth graders, the awardee should ask for its money back.  At the very least, Greenfield should print a correction, instead of just correcting the article and sending the original down the memory hole--1984-style.

Especially since now truebearing is talking about having Hollins executed:  &quot;Lockett and Hollins are lucky I&#039;m not the one who chose their method of execution&quot;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m against the death penalty.  I think it&#039;s bad for society for our government to be sanctioning killing people if we&#039;re trying to discourage it.  There&#039;s potential to study these people, but not if they&#039;re dead (well, not in as useful a way, or for as long ;) ).  Also it tends to cost more to put them to death than it would to keep them alive in custody the rest of their lives (amazingly).  I know some would say just shoot them in the head, or give him a lethal injection that might not work right, which is exactly why these sort of decisions need to be left in hands of bleeding heart liberals, rather than people who get mad and stop thinking.



I&#039;m sure most of you know already, the background to this story is that European drug companies have stopped providing the drugs used for lethal injections, and now the states who are proceeding with their lethal injections aren&#039;t telling anyone the sources they&#039;re getting them from.  Many suspect there&#039;s some sort of conspiracy involving drug companies. either in the US or Europe providing them secretly, but I suspect they&#039;re simply getting cheap bootlegs from China (most likely, or India, South America,, a few possibilities).


If for nothing else, even if you don&#039;t have a moral obligation to ensure everything proceeds correctly, it doesn&#039;t look good.  I don&#039;t feel sorry for the murderer, but I think if we&#039;re to have executions it shouldn&#039;t be in a way that&#039;s so open to criticism.


Then you have people like Daniel Greenfield saying it was a &quot;Job well done&quot;, and people commenting on that saying how wonderful that is.  When these sorts of opinions do get out to the wider world, from the mouthpieces at FOX,  and Murdoch&#039;s worldwide media empire, well it&#039;s hard to quantify the damage that does.  You might say you don&#039;t care about that because what he did was awful, which is exactly why decisions on what to do when something goes wrong in an execution need to be left in the hands of bleeding heart liberals, rather than people who get mad and stop thinking.



There&#039;s a theme developing here - people get mad and stop thinking.  This isn&#039;t dictated by politics, but rather by biology.  Blood rushes away from the brain and to our muscles where it&#039;s ready to be used in a fight or flight situation.  That&#039;s great for moments like that, but it&#039;s really not a good idea to be making decisions to base your life on in that state, especially ones that show your true colors.]]></description>
