Walter, I understand what you mean, and would be all for that (from a financial standpoint) but there would be so many people protesting that sentence if it was the death penalty. Everyone would be calling for that judge to be removed and most likely the judge would be removed. That's just the way things work under the federal government and it's out of out control unforunately. Some of these politicians up in D.C. and Raleigh are not even any better than these two people up there, due to their greed. The same thing you can say with some of these executives in the United States, especially for the automotive industry. Maybe you should throw the death penalty on people like them just as much as people like those two.

I disagree Sam. The Death Penalty is not used nearly enough. If you don't serve a positive purpose in society, if you can't control yourself, then you should be eliminated. What good is a few years of jail? What are they going to do when they get out? Sit around, watching Maury, text message other losers and collect welfare or go back to selling on the streets. They're not going to get a decent job and be a postive value in our society. They couldn't even get a job scrubbing toilets with their records. Then, our tax dollars go to support them. Whether they get caught or not, these people are costing us money. It's time to stop this problem and eliminate crime such as this, and not with more tax dollar wasting lethal injection either. Just throw them in a cell and let them starve. It's free.

BF "this kind of firepower"? It is a one pull of the trigger one shot, just like a hunting rifle. There are already laws on the books about having any kind of gun on school grounds so what we need are not further laws, but to enforce the ones we have. No one wishes to have any school shootings or any other kind, but if you read my previous comment you would see how many assaultive crimes were and are prevented just by law abbiding citizens showing a gun. go to this site and read about gun myths and you will understand better about guns and laws and what works and does not. http://gunfacts.info/ version 5.0 I for one wish to protect myself from someone like those pictured. (1) Laws are in place to take an illegal gun, (2) I can not protect myself or you if you take my legal gun (3) criminals will not give up their illegal guns..look at facts from Australia-took all guns, crimes up dramatically. It WAS NOT a machine gun!!!!!AGAIN 1 trigger pull 1 Shot!Media likes drama It was an sks.
