Bye Bye DC Sniper!!!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091111...niper_execution

I read about his last meal being chicken and cake. I have always wondered how you'd be able to get anything down your throat in view of your immediate death....

Being hungry? I don't know.

I don't think it'd be very enjoyable either. I'd imagine there'd have been very little sleep in the last few days for him either.

now the state has murdered the father of three teenagers.

And hopefully the teenagers realize what kind of monster their dad was.

Idiot ruined my 8th grade school trip to DC.

He was black and it was chicken.

Muhammad died at 9:11, lol

I chuckled a bit at hearing that as well.

there are no angry black people to replace him at all

I just found out that the Home Depot I go to was the site of one of the sniper shootings... kind of creepy.

any way you can have your last meal be a large dosage of heroin?

to be honest, if i got sniped at home depot and lived, i would have blamed it on migrant mexicans

Reddit, tonight my friend is being executed in Virginia When I was 12, my sister turned 16. My parents bought her a total Piece of Shit Volvo for $200. The thing hardly ran, but it was built like a tank. My dad had been using a mechanic he knew who worked on Mitsubishi's to maintain our van which had a knack for breaking down at the worst times. He came cheap, did good work, and was definitely in need of the money. John Allen Williams ran a shop out of his house, his wife managed the office managerial duties, and John would drive out to locations to fix things. This was perfect for us, because my family was just barely making it, and so we all were working jobs all day and couldn't afford to take time off from work to bring our cars in during normal office hours. We also couldn't afford rental replacements while our cars were in the shop. John would come to our house between 6 and 9 and take care of whatever automotive issues we had. Several times, the Mitsubishi or my sister's crappy Volvo broke down on the side of the road and John drove out to her and fixed her car and made sure she got home safely. We made sure to thank him for it. Frequently, when he came out to our house, it was in the middle of his dinner time. As thanks, we invited him inside for a meal with the family. He shared political and religious views with us, as we were all very intellectually active conversationalists and frequently had small debates at the dinner table (both my parents are teachers). He would give me sagely advice on how to deal with problems in school or in general life. When I turned 16, I bought a car ('89 Taurus) with my paper route money. It was in much better condition than my sister's Volvo had been, but it still needed some work. We hired John out to the dealership to look the car over before we purchased it, to be sure there was nothing wrong. I remember even now, working with John as he showed me how to replace the Distributor Cap, 2 spark plugs, Air Filter and Fuel Filter. While we were out there, he even told me about some time he spent in the Army. Shortly after this was the last time I'd see John. He came out to change the oil in my car and my mom's van. This time he brought a younger boy with him. John didn't talk much while he was here, and the boy didn't say anything. All we knew was the boy's name was Lee. They changed the oil and left. The next time we called (a couple months later), no one answered the phone. John's wife wasn't answering, John wasn't answering. We assumed something had happened and he had closed the business. The next time I heard about John was my freshman year of college. The nation's capital was in panic as random sniper killings were occurring all around the area. My dad called me and told me to turn on the news, and there, staring me back in the face, was our car mechanic, John Allen Williams. But now his name was John Muhammad, and under his name it said he had been arrested as the DC Sniper. I thought for sure it was a mistake. My dad spoke with the FBI, but they refused to take any statements. When my dad spoke with a friend of John's, he said that John's wife had taken his children away from him, and after that he snapped and then disappeared. We've watched the trial for several years now. And tonight, John Muhammad is to be executed. Strangely, a federal crime tried in a state court. I'm past the argument, as I'm sure most people don't care or want to care, and I'm sure there's some legal reason how the Federal Government can release it's responsibility to prosecute federal crimes to a state with a death penalty. All that I care about is that people know that John Muhammad wasn't always an evil man. That I remember not even a decade ago, a John Allen Williams that was a very kind, caring and loving man and father, and an excellent mentor and friend. Rest in peace, John.

Regardless of whether or not that story is true, I'm sure that there have been countless situations that have been the same.

I wrote an essay on Muhammad and Malvo earlier this year for a criminology subject. They were both pretty fucked up.

Seemingly normal, kind person eventually snaps?

The point is that "there's certainly something unsettling about knowing that a man who committed radical and horrific acts wasn't that different than you once".

Too bad that they executed him.

You shouldn't get to escape the knowledge of what you did so easily. You should be forced to remember every single day that you murdered these people.

Why is this execution quick while others last 20 years?

That's not the case at all. Muhammad had a history of petty violence and misdemeanours, especially while he was in the army. He was very manipulative - hence why that heartfelt story is probably true to the person who wrote it.

I agree. On top of the fact that there are statistics that claim that the death penalty ends up costing more than having that person serve a life sentence, I also feel that serving a life sentence is more punishment than having a quick painless death. To me it sounds like a win-win.

They were sick and needed help.

Instead one is to be kept in a box for the rest of his days and the other was killed because killing is justice, but only if you are the government.
