Rolling Dead


6:13 p.m. - It’s all over.
The governor’s office says Danny Harold Rolling, 52, has been executed by lethal injection for the 1990 murders of five college students, according to the Associated Press.
Rolling was pronounced dead at 6:13 p.m., according to the AP, more than 16 years after his killing rampage at the start of the University of Florida’s fall semester.

These comments are proof that, in this country, barbaric lynch mobs are not a phenomenon of the past.  They have simply become virtual, faceless, more cowardly. 

Seems the Gainesville horror and sixteen years were not enough for a community to do the one difficult thing it must in order to quit creating the likes of Danny Rollings: look at itself honestly.

No RIP for you schmuck, best you get is eternity in agony and terror. The same as you gave Sonja, Crista, Tina, Tracy and Manny in their last few minutes. Know that you left nothing worthwhile behind except a better place without you in it.
