finally Justice

[okcBob]

Justice will be served Thursday twice. Once in McAlester & again in the afterlife. The POS is gonna get bad news x 2.

It is the same rationale that they can't execute people with lethal injection because of the availability of the drugs. But I going to bet the D.E.A has a bunch of heroin that would work and it is free.

A syringe full of air works just as well

Man, sounds like most of you are out for vengeance. Admittedly I’d likely feel very different if it were someone I loved that had been murdered by this bastard. When it comes to capital punishment my thought in general is the criminal has committed such a heinous crime they have surrendered their right to live and the death sentence should be implemented as quickly and reasonably painless as possible. By that I mean if the method of execution causes the animal pain and discomfort so be it but I’m not going to go out of my way to make it hurt more than it needs to. To me it’s just like putting down a rabid dog.

Agreed. We need to support the 8th amendment, like we support the 2nd Amendment

Two days before my birthday 1992 my high school friend was murdered at his convenience store by Emannual Littlejohn and Glenn Bethany. now after 32 years the POS that did it will finally be executed Thursday 9/26/2024. Kenneth Meers was 31 years old he had worked hard to purchase his own store and run it. he would have given the shirt off his back . he was just that kind of guy . he didn't resist but they shot him the face for no reason. he ,I and two other friends were going to meet at grahams on Saturday night for my birthday . it was hard to drag him away from his store so it was going to be extra special to talk him into it. I can still hear my best friend Scott Williams voice as he told me on the phone. RIP Kenny .......rot in hell Littlejohn

Justice is hopefully going to be dished out, slow pace but they got him to the finish line now.

Im almost on the same thought plan. If its a ZERO chance of being innocent then they get a couple of months to get affairs in order. And IF it was a crime like this, premeditated and violent. They could get a choice of death. I would make sure whatever killed them had them screaming in pain for at least 30 minutes. Or go quietly and ALL body parts be available for donations.

So much for the 8th amendment….
Amazing that staunch 2nd amendment folks complain about liberals violating it, yet they have no problem violating the 8th.

I follow the 8th, but the feeling of vengeance in the human spirit that experiences a heinous crime in close proximity and see's the brutality in that murder want the worst to happen to the perpetrator, so they experience the same pain and fear the victim did.
The founders knew the history of such vengeance and how it was carried out, sometimes much worse than the original crime. So, the 8th Amendment to the Constitution was written to prevent that.
The criminal has years to prepare themselves for their death. Not the same choice they gave their victims, but that has to weigh heavily on their minds when the day comes close to their demise.
The 8th makes us humans willing to right a wrong, but not taking the wrong too far.

The animals will know everlasting pain.
Send them there as soon as possible.


Utah gave the condemned a choice, at one time. Hang or firing squad.
For a Mormon, the only way to atone for a blood sin, like murder, was to shed blood. 1970s, a murder trial convicted with death penalty. The murderer maintained his claim of innocence. The day of his execution, he had made a statement professing his innocence. The Governor, knowing the condemned was a Mormon, was watching him approach the gallows and decided a stay of execution was warranted. As the Governor was reaching for the phone, the condemned reached the steps to gallows, dropped and started screaming that he must have the firing squad and confessed.
