This man may well be deserving of death, but who are equally fallible human beings to decide that?

We are not, God is. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

As a father of 2, who often stops to help people broken down on the side of the road.....I am included with this statement.

People like this man are a good arguement for the Right to Carry...and need, even in a "quiet, rural area".

This scholarship goes to family members regardless of their stance on the death penalty. For example, Zach Osbourne, one of the recipients, supports the death penalty openly and is going to school to become a police officer. Dennis compiled a book, "Today's Choices Affect Tomorrow's Dreams," that is distributed for free to juvenile centers around the country. The book has been so popular, he has been asked to do another. That book is currently being compiled.Dennis is chairman of the prison's Hospice group and has cared for many dying prison patients through the years. He is a co-founder of 4-H LIFE, a family strengthening program that teaches inmates to be better parents and includes a family 4-H meeting each month inside the prison. As a former president and officer of 4-H, Dennis has led fundraisers to send money to children's programs in the state and to send 4-H LIFE members to summer camp and state leadership programs. 4-H LIFE has won several awards and is now active in several other prisons.Dennis has actively worked to build bridges between the Protestant, Catholic, Muslim, Islamic and Native American religious groups at the prison. He is a founder of the Charity Carnival - in its second year - that raises money inside the prison for charitable organizations. The carnival is today, but he is locked up and cannot carry out his responsibilities for that event.Dennis speaks to university student groups on a regular basis to give them insight into the death penalty and prison life. He is, and remains, a positive spokesman and positive role models for other prisoners.He is a leader in the Set Free Ministry, a prison ministry that works with thousands of inmates in Missouri and Illinois to help them in their Christian walk. The Ministry has grown from an office of three to an office of around 20 inmates at PCC and a second office in Charleston's prison. The Ministry continues to expand in prisons in the two states as well as into jails.

Why do these dudes always wait until they are behind bars to suddenly do something postive with their lives?

Sorry dude, RIP.

just for cases like this alone, they should use the electric chair, crank up the voltage to..oh i dont know...30,000 and zap him repeatedly, in 9 second intervals, increasing in voltage by 10,000 per zap.

see how much pain a person can take.

maybe bring back "drawn and quartered" and make this prick an example.

There would be less crime if they would bring back all the tactics previously used in societies during the dark ages...to discourage actions such as this.

At the end of the day those people are just as flawed and have no moral authority to make a decision on that man's life.

I see a metaphorical pitchfork in his ass after he's toasty as well.

That chair is the least of his problems.

Do these types of stories give you pause about continuing to do this?

If that was a Biblical reference...
The dispensation of grace took precedence over the Old Testament way.
That would help my argument if anything.

I'm not an unflawed human...But having never been a party to a crime spree that included the murder of 4 innocent people, at different times, i'm ok feeling superior to that scumbag.

So Thurman, are you ever going to reply to anyone on this thread and defend this guy? Do you really think he didn't do much wrong or are you just flatly against the death penalty?

Yes.

Can't sign this petition. Sounds like this guy is real piece of work. He deserves death as far as I can see. I am not against the death penalty. People that go around taking lives like it's nothing don't deserve to live. Sounds like this guy knew what he was doing.

So everyone goes around murdering innocent people? A normal flaw like eating fast food too often is not equal to a flaw of murdering people for jollies.
