D.C. sniper executed

I have to admit that this really surprised me. His attorney appealed to the Supreme Court to block the execution while they decided if his attorney was ineffective. Apparently the Supreme Court didn't buy it, and off he went. I didn't think anybody got executed after a death penalty conviction for at least 20 years, and this happened only seven years ago.

I'm very happy, now there is one less scumbag.

Good Riddance to bad rubbish. No one except his family will miss him. Maybe some other scumbags on death row.

I do feel bad for his family.

The world has one less low life. I applaud Virginia.

I am OK with his demise, yet how many more are out there? I leave this to your thoughts.

I'm just glad Obama was not in office when this happened and got sympathies going that scumbag's way.

Maybe families feel justice is served. Hope so.

Since the whole murder spree seems to have been a cover for him to kill his wife, I am not sure all of his family really felt that bad about his execution. He won't be able to hurt anyone else now. The reports said that he didn't even have any last words to say.

I've heard Texas just about has a revolving door in re: to getting rid of their murderers. But in Ohio, the murderers can plan on living out the rest of their lives, it takes so long. Seven to ten years sounds like long enough to make sure you got the right guy. There was little question in the case of those two.

Think about this though: would you want to live next door to a guy who legally kills other people and gets paid for it? If you're not getting paid by the state to do it, you're called a hit man. And are you psycho enough to want to watch the deed being done in the name of reporting to a newspaper? Yuck!! Who are these gruesome people?

Just ordinary citizens who have an extraordinary job. They are best left anonymous.

My friend interviewed to perform execution for one state - I won't say which. He said it was quite a process. This was back in the '80s and it was only supposed to be a one-time deal. He was put in queue and if he ever performed the duty, I would not know. I'd trust this person with my life.
