CAn someone answer this for me......How is it that you can kill somebody that killed others and you yourself are not in jail. When you look at it you're doin the same thing he did. Killing is Killing no matter how its done man. It's not your job to decides someones fate.....that's GOD'S job. Let HIM do what he feels is right.
Well I agree with everyone else about why he had to get the needle (being a blk man killing white people). I just hope 7 to 8 yrs down the line they don't find out that this man didn't do it. But the feds will never admit to killing an innocent man. Let's keep our eyes on the Ohio case. They didn't even give the Atlanta Child Murder guy the death penalty. You see he was convicted for the man in VA.
i TOTALLY agree with him bein put to death... what if it were u loved ones that he shot an killed with no remorse... the fact tht god wudnt like if we are killing people that are killing people is irrelevant.. In the bible it says "obey by the laws of the land".. an the death penalty is one of ours law... prison isnt doin anything for these criminals, an most of them wen they get released do the same thing.. somethings jus need to be done
The DC Sniper not only killed white people, but he killed blacks and latinos, young and old. The reason why he faced the death penalty is because he killed people in Virginia and Virginia supports capital punishment. Had he not entered into VA and killed there, he would be in jail for life because he killed in DC & MD.

Interesting point
I saw an interesting episode of Oprah about a family who lost 3 of their loved ones to murder, and the killer is currently on death row. Interestingly enough, the family members do not want the execution to take place. They want him to spend life in prison but they do not see the point in putting him to death, as executing him will not bring their loved ones back. So no, not everyone who loses someone to violence necessarily wants the murder to receive the death penalty. And yes I do believe that the race of some of the DC Sniper victims played a huge part in his death sentence.
