Give 'em the chair
Terry Nichols not getting the death penalty is a failure to the justice system, the tax-paying American people, and the family and friends of the victims of the bombing. What message does this give to other would-be terrorist/mass-murderers out there? You can kill 161 people and an unborn baby, and you'll get an all-expense paid vacation to the big house complete with 3 meals a day, TV, and a gym. Prison's no picknick, though, what with all the beatings and sodomy, but I'd much rather see him get the needle. Let's not forget that this is TERRORISM, and that terrrorism is a crime against the country (Treason), and it was a federal building he blew up.
I truely hope he found Christ, but Christ absolves you of your spiritual sins, not your earthly crimes. You're still accountable and should have to face justice. Like I said, I really do hope he's found Christ, and not using that as a cop-out to avoid the death penalty. I'm a Christian, but if I rob a bank, I should go to jail just like anybody else.
