I take it from your post that you seem to be taking the moral high ground on behalf of the two pieces of S#&T that this poor chap had to deal with. My regret is that he didn't get the other one in the head.
1. Did this young scamp of a lad actually say theese things or is this just what his poor injured fellow low life theiving scum partner in crime remembers/fabricated?
2. Mercy you say, i dont actually believe that he was executed! Didn't he die of his initiall wounds?
3. Next time your down route/on det and on the phone to your male life partner/wife etc just stop and think how much mercy you would show if you discovered that somebody was breaking into your house and endangering them.
I am not a right wing gun toating facist BUT God help me if i am ever in this poor fellows shoes i hope i have the balls to defend my house/family with conviction. Whilst i do not whish to live in a society of gun culture like the US, the one issue i feel they have got right is the right to defend your hearth and kin. I know that there have been high profile cases which were the extreme (the shooting of a jap student in Texas spring to mind) but the right to defend yourself in your own home must be sacresant. Whilst staying with a Viper driver mate in Phoenix it was made clear to me that the reason his house was protected by a 120lb german shepard and a cupboard full of guns was not so he could "wope sum ass" for fun, but to make sure that if that someone came calling ,who cared not a dam about his human rights, he could send him to God and let him be the Jury.
My sympathy is only for this poor farmer and for the next victim, and at 115 counts and counting i am sure there will be another one,of the prosecutions star witness.
