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.

Trump has destroyed every thing. Living in a median begging for money for my booze...but still have my phone and EBT card.

Amen, to that Eric. I know exactly how you feel, and what you are saying. A liberal's interpretation of Proverbs 22:9. Your satire is exquisite.

No

Never had a big budget for holidays or birthdays. We have too much stuff already so we concentrate on time together and a few useful thoughtful gifts, often hand-made.

Obviously, an article regarding Christmas, will not get many views in a blue city like Columbia.

On Christmas, my kids often just ask me for meaningful advice. They are in their fifties, and they have learned enough to know, that they can always learn more. We still give each other the benefits of our skills that we have acquired over the years. These gifts are priceless, and they last forever.

Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, believed to be the Son of God. The celebration focuses on the Incarnation, or God becoming human. You don't need money to celebrate that.

Nothing is ever going back to what it once was. You will continue to fall. You only have your contentment now.
