Do you think death is easy solution for Timothy McVeigh?
 

Sorors,
I have been following the Timothy Mcveigh trial from day one. When the judge made the decision. I was happy that the judge chose the death pentaly. But as time grew on, I began to think that death was a much too easy. Tell me your thoughts.

I absoulutely agree. I was watching he news yesterday and I recall someone saying that he's had a priest counseling him for the last year and that he is ready for his death. Infact he would rather die than finish a prison sentence. McVeigh has apologized for his crime but does he really mean it. It seems to me that he has no remorse whatsoever and the price he has to pay is to spend a couple of years in prison and then die. He doesn't care about his life let alone someone elses. I feel that he should rot he jail for the rest of his life. Killing him is not the answer.

I can see your point, but I don't think letting him rot in jail is necessarily the answer; in fact, it might be even more of a slap in the face to the American government against which he committed his terrorist attack. We -- you, me, and every other US taxpayer -- pays for those inmates to live out their lives in prison, and I for one don't want any MORE of my hard earned tax dollars to go toward keeping a terrorist alive.

I'm generally pretty conflicted about the death penalty, but in this case, I think McVeigh reaped what he sowed.

But is the death penality the right answer. I understand what you're saying about tax dollars but our tax dollars pay for child molestors(sp), rappist, drug dealers, and murderers; should we kill them too. It is not our responsibility as human beings to determine whether a man lives or dies. We are not God and we don't have a heaven or hell to put anyone in. I feel that the death penalty is enabling people to "play" God and determine whether or not a person is worthy of living and that's not our place.

I just don't agree with killing people. Like I said, I understand your point but I killing people isn't the answer.

I have mixed feeling regarding capital punishment because of the large number of Black men in prison. But in this case I don't think lethal injection is cruel, unusual or too easy.

PLEASE!!! I'm so tired of LIBERALS. He deserved exactly what he got. My question is why did it take 6 years???
Just think of this, a man takes you beats you within inches of your life, rapes you repeatedly, sodimizes you, cuts off your nipples, carves his initials into your chest,pours beach over your open wounds, leaves you in an rat infested garage over night, comes back and see you are still alive, then to finish you off he shoots you in the head. Oh yeah he deserves to live.
An eye for an eye.
As far as Alot of Black men being on death row, well I work in corrections, and believe me a lot of them deserve it.
Ok, I know I'm going to get "FLAMED" for this, but it's my opinion, and I'm not likely to change it soon.

I say that God put in place a government to protect the rest, that has the right to say if someone should die if he/she breaks the rules. God is a just God and believes in consequences of one's actions. Just as our sin has an eternal death consequence outside of Christ. The opposite of this is Grace, and this is what McVeigh experienced for the years he was in jail(and hopefully he came to know Christ). Playing God is no one's role, however protecting the innocent and making sure justice prevails on this earth is something God is in favor of. Timothy is getting exactly what he deserves in my opinion.
