I don't see the need for arrest or trail?
He should have been shot right when the police found him?
Not guilty? We fuckin' caught you. Is there anyone here that believes this asshole isn't guilty? All of those who believe he is guilty say "Aye"?
Thats some fucking moronic shit. Assholes. Go burn some people for witchcraft or heresy. Its the same mentality.

You've made some valid points. I have to disagree with your use of Witchcraft and heresy, because executing people for those crimes is a sort of "thought police" situation.
I think more of what you're looking at is a mob of white men taking a black man out of his house and hanging him on the
presumption of raping a white woman. In this situation, the black man never had a chance to go to trial, and if he did, it was a trial with a jury made soley of white males
I guess I'm really disturbed about this case because it
did involve the rape and murder of a child. Truth be told, Elvis, I really don't know where I stand on the issue of the "Death Penalty." It's a hard issue to face, because for one, two wrongs have never made a right, and two, who are we to decide between life and death, even though the criminal made that decision. It's a very tough concept to face and decide.
However, I would love to hear how you think this criminal should be punished. I'm intrigued, because you may have a really good idea for punishment. I'm always up for other people's solutions to criminal behavior.
