His father claimed he was taking a lot.

Regardless of what his "father claimed," that's no way to deal with harrassment. That guy made a choice to fucking kill some human beings, probably innocent ones, he chose to do it in the name of religion, and in a fanatical fashion resembling islamic fundamentalism, while their army is at war with those very characters - What the hell was he thinking they'd do? Pat him on the back and send him happily on his way?

I think not.

I did not say he was justified in killing them, I am only trying explain how the sentencing was unfair. Radicals do not apologize for their actions.

So Short, your saying you wouldn't mind if he lived in a halfway house on your block?

....and they don't give up either, you think the prison system actually works for rehabilitation? If he was put in prison, he'd just come out at the end and probably try the same shit.

Now I could be mistaken for thinking this was a debate over the death penalty....?

Accepting the fact that there is a death sentence in existence, why should this guy be let off the hook and other people who commit similar crimes be sentenced to death....? What makes this crime any different...?

I agree. Moreover, although I'm not familiar with US military law, wasn't he supposed to be executed for this type of crime? Has been him a civilian, he may have been spared, but in time of war, I don't think so.

I looked back and couldn't find any reasons....Please hook them up so I can see for myself.

His punishment is fine. Maybe if he was a civilian he would have a less ... bad-like punishment...

[Johnj]

Maybe if he had done his job, and not been brainwashed by some iman, he would be serving his country, instead of facing a death sentence.

[Poseidon]

Pity the UK doesnt have the death sentence instead of all the cunts cluttering up our prisons.
