That Texas thing was joke I think law is real. The real fact of the matter is I should have learned how to say I don't I won't and I can't. It's too late now all I can do is live with my mistakes. She's my strife and I'm her hasbeen.

I'm against the death penalty also, they kill to many innocent people.
But if they were to kill this guy they would be doing him a favor.

How is he any different than a government official who wants to destroy a families life, by say putting a kid into care. No real difference, just that most murderers are walking free.

He will pay for his crimes, but most people will not, especially female murderers.


Typical American? That's an asinine assumption. We're not all hell bent on violence. Some of us would just simply love it if everyone could learn to get along. Some of us are fed up with the dog eat dog mentality of humanity. And I'm not just speaking for Americans as an American, I'm speaking for human beings as a human being.


Agreeing with Oreyeon here.

That was an uncalled for comment. There are heinous crimes committed against people every day all over the world. Like another poster commented about the crime in Canada just recently, where the guy killed another passenger on a Greyhound bus. He had only been in Canada, what, four years? Does that make all Canadians evil and violent? I think not, no more than this case makes all Americans 'violent'.

This guy is demented, and I hate to say it, but people like this that commit such atrocious crimes, should be put out of their misery. They are just a financial drain on society.

Being a Canadian, where we have no death penalty, sometimes I wish we did still have it here. People like this guy, really have no place in society, and why bother keeping them alive..? Just like the guy on the bus. There was no doubt who committed the crime, now us taxpayers have to pay to keep this guy alive, living quite comfortably for the rest of his life.

Talk about justice.

As it is from the bible. 'A eye for a eye'. I hoped that the other members saw that joke. Wait...I quess that the inmate isn't part of the team, because there is not 'I' in team.

I don't care if this POS is sane, or insane, or good, or evil, anything else....because who really cares about that anyways...
The fact of the matter is that this type of human being is useless and should be offed. Why even discuss their good or evilness, or whether they are insane or not...just off their useless asses. In case you couldn't tell I vote for offin' the mutha....

It's literally worse than something Stephen King would write, isn't it? I mean, if the guy is trying to avoid the death sentence, wouldn't it be more prudent to cut off a finger or toe and eat that? I don't think he's really put much thought into how to get by after he gets off...

I do not believe i made a claim to being an expert. I did work in the field for 5 years, as my small community has one of the largest mental health hospitals in Texas in it. But i made no claim to being an expert.

"Insane" is very subjective. However, without a clinical diagnosis of some sort of abnormality, I do not believe that "insane" can be labelled. And said diagnosis would be indicated as described in the DSM.

Did you wake up this morning and decide that you were going to nitpick instead of adding anything to the thread about the topic?

That was awesome...and very creative! I like the pay-per-view butter knife idea the best.

This thread has some of the funniest replies, I have not laughed so much in weeks.

Are you serious lol

'ALL' they would have to do is pluck out both of their own eyes with their bare hands and eat them to be considered insane enough to avoid death.

I think to me its a pretty fair definition of insane, I certainly do not think we need worry about setting a precedent.

I get the feeling that not many psychos will go that route so they get to live out their remaining years as the blind guy in the most dangerous prison wing.

I would prefer to just get a really good lawyer and lie my ass off!

Actually it makes for a funny scenario in court:

"Mr John Doe you are found guilty of the crime of murder and shall be taken forth from this place to be held until such a time as you will be put to death by lethal injection...."

"...ah wait a moment. There is one way... that I might just be moved to reduce your sentence to life in a maximum security prison. Mr John Doe if you should now scoop out both of your eyes using only your bare hands, chew them to the satisfaction of this jury and swallow them. We will allow you to live out your days as the blind guy in the most dangerous place a blind man could possibly hope to live."

"Well John, what'll it be??"
