"THE BIBLE SAYS AN EYE FOR AN EYE!!!!"

Actually, Christ said that "an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind."



that is not what Jesus said...Ghandi said that. Jesus did say an eye for an eye but not that it leaves the whole world blind. apparently you need to read your bible.

Posted by: john d. (cincinnati oh.) on October 14, 2008 4:18PM
To bad Ohio doesnt use the electric chair anymore, if they did we could have a good old fashioned pig roast. Rights for the murderers and rapists? Give me a break! What about the victims? Get on with it already, we have already spent too much keeping this vile scum alive.


Posted by: Tom (Columbus) on October 14, 2008 3:32PM
He deserves what is coming to him. Those poor girls weren't given a chance. He is a fat, gross, disgusting leach! We will save ourselves a lot of money by putting him down. Now we just need to do the rest of them like this fat pig!!! His last meal??? One final attempt at taking from society! Don't seem to concerned with your weight to me PIGMAN!


Posted by: Beth (Columbus, OH) on October 14, 2008 3:23PM
Finally-- 10am can't come fast enough!!Quit wasting our tax dollars!!!! 500,000$ a year, oppsed to 74.50 to off him!!Sounds like a no brainer to me!!!Poke the fat gravy sucking pig!!! Those (2) girls didn't get a stay of execution! Instead they got raped .....HMmmmmmm....There is a thought for ya piggy boy how bout a rape to go along with your t*bone and lethal dessert?????

"THE BIBLE SAYS AN EYE FOR AN EYE!!!!"

Actually, Christ said that "an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind." I'm sorry for what happened to your son and that it filled you with such hate and pain. God can heal it. I'm not judging you, I haven't been through what you have, but it saddens me to see that the killer took your son and left you suffering like this.


Posted by: Dribbling Dan (Bend, Illinois) on September 17, 2008 9:52AM
Too fat, huh? Just butcher him like a piggy and make him squeal until he chokes on his own blood and bile and grind his remains into Cooey sausage for the other death row inmates to snack on.


Posted by: Dave (Arlington, VA) on September 12, 2008 12:12AM
Throw some pain killers in with the lethal injection juice, and find a vein already. The guy is just being a whiney BITCH.


Posted by: Annie3000 (Richmond, Indiana) on August 5, 2008 2:04AM
IF HE CAN'T DIE BY INJECTION THEN SLIT HIS THROAT FROM EAR TO EAR. SHOW THAT ASSHOLE NO REMORSE.PIECE OF SHIT KILL THAT RAPIST..


Posted by: I hate Rapists (USA) on August 4, 2008 10:36PM
that fatboy gotta have a good vein somewheres.
If he don"t slaughter him like a fat pig he is.
I hate rapists.Put that fat piece of /.,. in population minimum security to see what happens to him..


Posted by: I hate Rapists (USA) on August 4, 2008 10:32PM
This should not even be an issue. Tell this guy, if he's too fat to be executed without pain, he should go on a diet. Set a date for the execution, and stick to it. If he's really concerned, he'll lose the weight. This is just a ploy to get off the hook, like so many murderers and rapists do. They commit these crimes and then cry for a second chance. But there was no second chance for those two victims. No mercy showed to them.
I know someone who went to prison for killing his daughter's rapist. I didn't like the fact that he had killed him, but he asked me "If it was your daughter, what would you have done?" I really don't know how to answer that question. But if our justice system won't legally protect the innocent, how dare they send US to prison for defending ourselves or our families? The justice system failed my acquaintance, and like it or not, his family is safer because he did that. What do you do when the system fails? Live in fear? Or take the law into your own hands? Don't be surprised if you see people going to prison themselves to defend those they love.

for 20 years the tax payers have been feeding him and for what????? so he can get fatter and say that he is too fat to be executed? i lived the first 30 years of my life in akron, ohio and i would hope the people of ohio would say enough and get rid of this scumbag!!!!!!
