If anyone, he deserved a deathpenalty. Why victimize the perpetrator ?

AlanandLeila Hoyt

Evil action have consequences. Per his statement, he is aware of the wrong he committed. I believe in the value of all human life-but justice is necessary in order to keep society functioning and safe. It is unfortunate he made a choice that resulted in the death of 4, including himself.

Steve TheBmann

I knew Fred Jones and he was as nice of a guy as you could meet. He was not a threat to anyone, and he had his own mental challenges. The murderer did not care. I'm sure Fred will forgive him and God will do the final judgement. No happiness in the execution, at least closure. Justice served.

Sherry Scott Schafer

Can't bring list lives back but he intentionally one by one savagely murdered three innocent people.

Capital Punishment for Capital Crime. Jail is for non violent crime.

The sheep shouldn't be alarmed, because Trump said he would do this during his campaign. He comes from the business world, not politics. We actually have a president keeping the promises he made to those who elected him, a trait that is not common with career politicians.

Steve Baumann

Other countries have placed tariffs on our goods, far more so than we have ever done. I used to sell overseas,many customers of mine had to pay 25-30% in tariffs when the goods arrived. No, I am not worried. Excited is a better term. Fair and equal, globally.

Max DeYoung

I would be worried about the economic pain, if we did not reciprocate.
