What to do with the sniper?

[Ian W.]

what should we do with these two suspects? try them, make sure that they are who we're looking for, then throw them in some dark, dangy cell, give em a bit of moldy bread and dirty water each day, and somehow loose the key. i'd say you're better off dead than wasting away in some cell, so why be nice and give them the death penelty? (i'm also against the death penelty, because i don't see how killing someone solves anything)

I say we tie them up, put them in the middle of a battle bots arena and let the fun begin.

On a more serious note, i feel that they deserve whatever they get. Just as long as it involves solitary confinment, death row, and oooooo... death by firing squad. wont that be poetic justice.

-Ian
thankful that this horrible ordeal is finally over (knock on wood!!)

I agree on one part with Dixon, but instead of solitray confinement.....put em in general population and let the prisoners have fun...

Later,

tack him up to a wall, shoot him each day starting at the toes. Feed him every day also, after so many months he wont have any legs left, also make sure he doesnt bleed to death!

i overheard someone on the train today and this idea sounds a bit better. les brutal i think


why dont we hang the 2 adn let the relatives of the 13 victims come beat the poopy out of them both. why waste good money by killing them in prison or sending em to prison. just let there butts get kicked and then send em over to afghan terr. so they can have a lil fun to..

Wait, I have an even better idea. Let's behead them in public like they do in Iraq, Iran, and Saudi Arabia! It'll be really fair, it's fun, and it seems to have worked in that part of the world!

Hows chinese water torture sound?
or hows about disembowlment
or that torture that Cary Elwes describes at the end of Robin Hood: Men in Tights. those all sound like good ideas to me

[evulish]

How about a mistrial and a 5 year prison sentence and 3 year parole for good behavior. Sadly, it happens...

[Sean_330]

I think we should try these people like we try any felon. Don't do anything special for them. Try them in an unbiased courtroom and let the defense and prosecution have their say. Then let the 12 men and women of the jury determine their fate. Its important that neither how mad we are at someone nor the serious nature of the crimes these individuals carried out let us forget about due process of the law.

[Ryan Dognaux]

I agree with the above post. Why glorify them any more than the media already has by some "strange form of punishment"? And honestly.. send them to Afghanistan??? C'mon that wouldn't work. Something would go wrong, but I don't think this is the last of these attacks on our country, not by a long shot. I fear the worst is still to come

[dixonij]

Keep in mind though that if they are American citizens they have the Constitutional right against any cruel and unusual punishment. However they were cruel when they killed those six people. Burn Them!!!!!

Once again, that would only glorify them more. It'd be covered by every TV station in the world. Is that what we want? I know I don't.

[dixonij]

true ... stupid ian!! i always do this
i guess i should keep my mouth shut
but then you wouldnt hear from team 87 on these boards.
I guess you will keep hearing my ranting and ravings

[IsabelRinging]

It'll most likely be a federal indictment, but if it's state then it'll be Virgina. I'm pretty sure they're more supportive of the death penalty than Maryland is, and this is obviously a case in which we'd be seeking that.

At least one of them is a citizen of Jamaica, I'm pretty sure it's the kid. But deportation? Meh.

To quote someone from another message board I visit, Jamaica's official stance on the situation is "Quit bogarting that doobie."

He killed ten people, not six, and wounded 3 others.
Before deciding how to punish someone, please pay attention and figure out what they did before passing sentance.

Also, even if they are not American citizens, they still have all the protections in the Constitution because they are being tried in American courts under American rules for breaking American law.

The Constitution applies at all times in all instances, regardless of what we would like.
