People really ought to have a little more compassion for humanity. Really despicable outcome.

Sorry.  I have zero compassion for someone who obviously had no compassion for the innocent people he killed and maimed. 

I thought we're suppoused to be better than them.

Unlike most Atlas posters, I have absolutely no qualms with the death penalty.  It is legitimate justice for those who kill people.  Retribution is a legitimate goal of the criminal justice system.

Though it absolutely should not be. That is a horrifying moral system that seeks such. I don't mean anything personal cinyc, but this is the most important issue to me by a long stretch rivaled only by abortion. Rehabilitation and public safety are the only legitimate considerations. Even in cases where that cannot be accomplished cully, he can still serve a purpose.

Using the Bible as a citation for specific morals is a flawed way to think anyway, but sadly it's what millions in this country are going to do anyway.

Of course, I don't base my view on the Bible, but as a Christian, it does matter to me from a personal standpoint, and I respect others for whom it is significant.

(Response was intended for RFayette regarding the issue of the death penalty not being called out. I don't even want to get into the issue of abortion which has even less to take from the Bible. Taking the moral perspective of one time period is a horrendous way to rationalize a current policy.)
