#1 Muhammad's lawyer said his client would appeal to the US Supreme Court.

The lawyer, Jonathan Sheldon, also said he would ask Virginia Governor Timothy Kaine for clemency.


Squirm, coward.

#2 This was not sniping. Not one shot was made at a distance greater than 75 meters. No ingress skills were exhibited, no fieldcraft skills, no egress skills, just shoot from the trunk of a car with a poodle-shooter.

Only the MSM and other similarly ignorant individuals would consider this to be sniping. Sniping is a very carefully crafted activity with definable and measurable tactical goals, accomplished by people who are knowledgeable about those goals and aware of their own responsibility.

This was just plain murder carried out by two cowards.

#4 Pity they aren't going to hang the SOB. Hanging gave such an air of finality to these things.

#6 Muhammed made unexplained trips to the Caribbean while he was living in a homeless shelter in Washington state. I'm sure there was a foreign terrorist connection. Probably Jamaat al Furqa.

#7 Hanging does provide excellent theater, and is truly a deterrent force. This idiocy forced upon us by the ACLU of treating prisoners "humanely" is one reason we've had such an increase in crime. We not only need to hang any criminal that has wantonly killed more than three people, but any ACLU lawyer that tries to defend them on "humane" grounds.

#10 My vote of course, is either for public demonstration of microwave beam weapons...or flamethrowers. Let's throw some real deterrent value in there.

Of course, perhaps I just like Girl Genius Online too much, but sticking him in a big jar to bake in the sun is also good.

#11 Whatever's used on the turd, make sure it's covered with a thick layer of pig lard.

#12 This Virginian is honored that we'll send this clown to his reward.

Of eternity in HELL.

Too bad Ol' Sparky is not in service anymore. (I understand the executee can choose electrocution instead of injection, but I'd put decent money on this murdering loser being too much of a pansy to ask for it.)
