Honestly now, 9:11 pm EST when it was scheduled for 9:00 pm EST? I seriously doubt this was a mix-up.

My statement wasn't meant to make anyone feel warm inside. It was meant to represent an unfortunate fact. There are a lot of people whom this world would be better without. The best way to rid us of those people is death.
I don't know why humans think because they are semi-intelligent that they are beyond the laws of nature. Your values and morals do not free you from the obligation that all living things must succumb to: kill or be killed.
Whether it is for good or for bad, people will always die at the hands of other people. This is not something we can think our way out of, develop a technology to prevent, or forcefully bring to an end. It is a fact of life and that will never change.
Some people need to die. This man was one of them. A lot of good, innocent people are killed every day. It's not such a bad thing when one of the bad, guilty ones meets the same fate.

If the innocent were to kill the guilty for killing the innocent, the innocent would no longer be 'innocent.' What makes them innocent for killing someone when the person they are killing is guilty?
