Did you listen to the details of the execution by lethal injection of John Allen Muhammad, the Washington Sniper? I did and thought they were pretty horrific. Do you agree?

I didn't listen to it, but the guy got what he deserved. He had no regard for the people that were being shot or their families. Personally, I know 2 wrongs don't make a right, but I think he should have been stood in front of a firing squad, not been given an injection. +4

Its not as horrific as the crime he committed. I just wish they would kill that other bastard too
-
It's the very best way to do a horrible act that has found so far. I prefer "life without parole" over the death penalty - but if the state must murder people occasionally then it should do so as painlessly as possible.
-
No, I didn't realize we could. Was he not declared 'insane' and if he was...wouldn't any future insane defense arguments be affected by this ?
-
Personally I feel that it was far too humane of a treatment for such an animal. I feel no pity for a man who committed such horrible acts as he did.
-
I didn't listen, but they probably were pretty horrific. However, there is no way there were as horrific as the deaths of his victims.
-
So?
-
Where did you listen to the details? I heard it was quite clinical and uneventful. He didn't say a word or show any remorse or any emotion and pretty much just cooperated.
-
TO BAD! As far as I am concerned JAM got put down the easy way.......unlike the people that never had a dogs ass chance that came into the line of fire. So to damn bad. JAM said not a word, was injected, turned his head and was put to sleep forever. How horrific was that? I would say it was rather an unbefitting end to his horrific actions.
-
I didn't, but I feel that systematically taking the life of another is in itself horrific. The purpose of death should never be vengeance, in my opinion, and that's what the death penalty is used for.

No, I do not. Even in the link you listed.. there was nothing horrific about his death. He was given a much better way out than his victims. He was put to sleep while his body shut down. His victims suffered pain, terror and God only knows what else. There were no complications. Every station has stated this, including the video in the link you provided and witnesses who have given accounts of the procedure. There are lifetime complications for his victims and their loved ones. I am not a death penalty advocate but in circumstances like this, it is appropriate. Acts of terrorism should not be taken lightly in the land of the free. The brother of the FBI analyst that he shot witnessed it and he broke my heart because he had such an honest response in that he wanted and still wants closure. He was hoping watching muhammed die would bring that but he just wished muhammed had never made these decisions and none of it happened because he got no pleasure out of watching a man die. What a good man in my opinion.

I don't think it was as horrific as him shooting and killing people randomly...or as horrific as the family members finding out about their loved ones who were killed...it WASN'T horrific enough.
-
Not at all. I think they were too easy on him. They should've killed him in a more violent manner. You know like hanging or bringing back the good ole guillotine.
-
No, I didn't hear the details. What were they? The unremorseful animal is dead. What could be more horrific than the way he "executed" his victims?
-
I think They should have both been run trough a tree shredder than planted on the prison farm as fertilizer!! as a deterence to the other dirtbags thinking about randomly shooting innocent people for no other reason than they can
-
No - I have no desire to do so. If his death was horrific, too bad....and too bad he couldn't die as many times as the number of his victims. Based on everything I've read regarding lethal injetion in my state (Texas) there is virtually no pain or discomfort, other than the initial insertion of the needle/tube into a vein....about like being anesthetised before having surgery.
