Tragedy at Moore Food Plant

[GoOKC1991]

I am sure everyone has seen it. A man had just been fired for trying to convert co workers to Islam, and so he came right back in and beheaded a woman. Horrific story.

What's really hard, for my family and I, is the woman was a very close family friend, she such a kind, sweet and giving woman. She will be deeply missed.

Wow.

[catch22]

Man. This is an awful story.

[adaniel]

Unfortunately given the facts behind this attack backdropped with current events I expect the national media to lose its mind. So just brace yourselves.

A mile from my house -- good stuff.

[Plutonic Panda]

What did he use to behead her with? I'm sure unless you know your stuff and have a really sharp blade, it would take a minute to behead her.

When this turd wakes up he needs to be put in the express lane for the death penalty.

[Plutonic Panda]

What they should do is put the guy back on the streets, announce it before hand, and see how long he lasts.

[Mel]

Yes. He needs a old fashioned "Come To Jesus" meeting with the citizens of Moore.

No, no matter how gruesome the crime, the state is not in the business of revenge.

This definitely qualifies for the death penalty, and the state should execute that sentence in a humane way.

The death penalty is death -- not death by cruel device. Give him the needle and terminate his life, but by calling for his own beheading or releasing him into the streets for mob punishment we become hypocrites from the craving of revenge.

It's important to remember what the death penalty is (execution of a sentence) and not revenge by cruel device and punishment.

Gotta admit, this is a pretty good argument for this particular CEO in this particular situation being armed like he was.

Very well said.

Curious what the local Muslim community is saying?

I imagine they are not supportive of the radical fringe nature of this person, just as a lot of Christians are not supportive of the radical nature of Westboro and other fringe groups.

Dip him in pork grease and then execute him by putting him down. Perhaps a Canadian Bacon pizza before the fun starts. Too bad he will get to outlive his victim by so many years.

[betts]

Tell him a woman will be administering the lethal injection. No Paradise for him. I'm not above a little mental cruelty in this situation.

I am so sorry - just an awful thing.

Hmmm. Maybe I have a little "growing up to do", I don't know, but at this point I believe that people who do things like this should made an example of what will happen to others should they follow in the same footsteps. There are crimes that people commit and then there are heinous acts of evil that should be dealt with in a manner that would have the person who committed these acts begging to die.

These people are sick and I think we are way too lenient on crime these days. Steal in parts of Iran and they will likely cut one of your hands off; so don't ask why rates of theft are so low there.

[PennyQuilts]

But for the loss of humanity to anyone who tortured him, I'd say he had it coming. I am not feeling all kum bay ya about this guy and am not about to pretend to be more high minded about it than I am. Tip of the hat to those more noble. I can't imagine what this woman experienced or what her family is going through. The guy is a monster.

[Plutonic Panda]

Well, I will say either way, he needs to die. It isn't my place entirely to decide the value of another mans life rather than justify it by ensuring the world is a safer place and not wasting money placing these monsters in a cell who will have to be taken care of until they die.

There are things I would suggest be done to this guy that might make some question my sanity on here, but at the end of the day those things won't happen. Execute him and be done with it. The more time he is alive is more time spent wasting resources on someone who will never be fit for society again.

[Paseofreak]

Just FYI, Plu, it costs orders of magnitude more to execute someone (legal costs) than it does to house them for life. I have no space for this wretched piece of flesh in this world, but when we mete out justice with the intent of torture and revenge, society as a whole looses a lot of any righteousness it has. The penalty is the loss of life, not the suffering on the way out. At least how the law reads, and if we abandon that, who are we?
