For Whom The Bell Tolls

Actually, I am opposed to the death penalty and I did have a family member murdered.  My brother was killed by John Wayne Gacy.  I do not condone what Gacy did but I did oppose his death penalty as I have opposed the death penalty of Danny Rolling.

Unless you have walked a mile in our shoes do not try to tell us what we will or will not do.

These protesters wouldn’t be out there ringing bells if one of their family members were among those 5 students whose lives were so brutally cut short, they would be witnessing what SHOULD have happened 16 years ago. Our legal system is all about the criminal, never about the victim. He deserved to die then, not live another 16 years that those 5 young people never got to experience.We all know where he is and it isn’t with God.

I do not feel that he deserves any reprieves and should have been put to death the day he was convicted of murdering all the innocent folks.  They had something apparently he was jealous of...A LIFE!!

I HOPE HE BURNS IN ETERNAL HELL
