People who shoot girls in Central Columbia will someday likely be on death row, if not stopped by a good Policeman.

Some people are not capable of changing and their predilections affect too many other lives. The world is better off without them.

Life in prison has proved NOT to be a deterrent. Death penalty is.

Romans 13:4, For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer (Sword refers to the govt’s authority to punish rebels, even by death)

Fred Jones was a kind man. Anyone who would kill him, and the others, in the manner that was done, deserves the full punishment of the law, without exception. Public hanging would be acceptable.

These degenerates that stay on death row for decades using state money for clothing, food, medical care, housing, etc should be put to death within 180 days of sentencing. Save the state millions

instead of funding the death penalty fund for an influx of therapist and psychologists and implement true rehab and make them do daily community work via supervision such as picking up litter or working in sanitation.

As long as we find one false convition in a thousand, we should halt this Barbaric behavior! Set the Example, not the standard of "If you hurt me, I hurt you!" and Don't give me the Bible says "An eye for an eye", that was before the dispossion of Grace given by Jesus Christ. Time to move forward.

Has that worked in the past? NO. Now we have prisons full of 'vacationing' murderers, getting 3 meals a day & cable & internet.

Stupid decisions do cause unfair loss of life. We just lost 13 fine Americans because of a stupid decision. So we must be careful, but with capital punishment there are no repeat offenders.

Hrm, yes you see. My poor neighbors pay for my yards to be watered through their taxes. It's a great deal. We need more poor people in Columbia.

AlGore was RIGHT! Western capitalists, with their evil incorporations, have caused man-made global warming, resulting in drought conditions across the USA. Capitalists must immediately stop their green-house gas emissions, retire internal combustion engines & pay liberals $$$ to fix problem. FJB

As Mizzou learned the hard way, campus protests can be very bad for the institution of higher learning. Police and even the National Guard should be used to restore order and make it safe for minorities (e.g., Jewish students) to attend class. The left has taken over higher ed, you see results. FJB

Harry, your reply to me is true, and accurate, but a peaceful protest is legal.

Start holding the alumni accountable who use the state taxpayer dollars in the form of their state government salaries to donate and buy tickets to athletic programs of these universities. Revoke their degrees, and find someway of filing criminal charges against them even if you have to make it up.

They need to revoke the degrees of each and every UM Columbia grad who has an engineering degree starting with the walking dictionary we have in my hometown who times stoplights. That computer geek can do nothing but quote a bunch of state regulations and policy that nobody understands.

When was the last time you saw a peaceful leftist protest? "We need some muscle over here" ring any bells?
