Snipers in DC

Tuesday, October 15, 2002 by ToeJo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I live 45 minutes outside of DC. This sniper stuff really ticks me off. I've never seen anything like this. Anyone think it's al-Qaida? I don't know, but I hope they catch the SOB soon!

Who wants to bet that Maryland will drop their moratorium on executions specifically for this pair?

Stoning, I think...It seems only fair for those who would target children for money.

Neutering with a rusty razor blade...
Or....
We have the odd hungry croc or two in the NT...seems there was a shortage of American tourists...they had to dine on German instead.
Or....

Glory sakes....how 'bout 'shooting' them.
Call it poetic justice.
Just don't tell them where or when, and do it long-range....

Of course, we could always draw & quarter them, I seem to recall from history books that was practiced for much less serious crimes.

I had been wondering why there was so much police protection at their arraignments.... I think I know now.

Which book was it that had them rehabilitating criminals, until they really loved life and society and had a full and promising future ahead of them... and then they shot them (reasoning that taking something of no value from someone is missing the point somehow)? 1984?


um.... bakerstreet? I admit, I am not too sure of your reference to Everquest or Norrath -- but for sure I know about the rest of it. I'm just hoping you are doing OK. In my book, you're one of the good guys.

goodmorphing would hate to think that these creeps are OK (and probably enjoying their notoriety) and someone who cares about stuff is not!


this spelling is brought to you by iespell....

What happened to 'innocent until proved guilty'?????
Bloody lynch mob mentality as usual.

I have to admit it would seem that this guy did it. Everything is matching up. (Unless somebody really screwed up the ballistics). I can't fatham why he would do it. He does not seem crazy at all, he looks like a jerk though. Even the 17 year old looks ok. Even in the bad new story photo he does not look like the other mass murderers.

It just seems really strange to me. To many things do not add up. You take a kid to shot people? I want to hear the words from his mouth. I need him to say something.

And your right wombat_1, it is innocent until proven guilty. I want to know what is going on with this whole story. It doesn't make sense.

I get the money part though... they needed to get away, and live high off the money.

wombat, I think that the ballistics and his own admission proves his guilt.

They don't prove his guilt , until it's been properly sorted in court.
BTAIM, if we were innocent until proven guilty, then you would never feel a policeman's handcuffs on your wrist until after you had been tried and convicted by a court. And we all know that's not true.

I think that addmission stuff doesn't mean he is guilty. It just means he said he is. Even now the Central Park Joger case where I believe 4 or 5 young boys said they were guilty... but now it looks like somebody else did it.

So it is still innocent until proven guilty. I personally think he looks very guilty indeed, but I am not a jury. It would seem that they caught him. No shootings since. Everything seems to be ok now.

This still seems so strange to me. Why did he do it? And take a young child along for the ride? Why keep killing? Then why give the police the info to catch you?

It would seem they have thier man. And if they have the evidence, the jury will convict.

Joetheblow....I'm sorry, but that's bull! Juriies are made up of people like you and me...so you ARE the jury. The american justice system is flawed to say the least. When a killer(s) can be aquited on a technicality (even though all evidence points to their guilt...just watch Law and Order sometime) something is not right. If he said he did it, then I believe he did (even without taking into account the ballistics evidence, the setup in the car for firing from the trunk, etc...).

The central park jogger case is a different matter altogether. The 5 'boys' gave confessions under extreme duress....which they later recanted. Although I agree a jury trial is a necessity, I think that in this case it is a waste of taxpayer money. The evidence and confession should speak for itself and the sick bastard should be executed in public. I dare say that your attitude would be different if the victims had been your loved ones (heaven forbid).

Law and Order???
Why not the Simpsons or maybe Dallas??
A bloody TV series (good or not) is fine basis for another 'expert opinion' of the Legal System!
If the system is flawed this would be one good example.
