Absolutely! Pray for your PC Country, not me. People like you empower people like Muhammad. What if it was your innocent child that got killed? Would you go hug their killer?

This is sad, what this man did was truly terrible but two wrongs dont make a right. Killing someone, is killing no matter how it's done. He will be killed tonite. i pray for his soul and u people that believe he should die. Put yourself on the other side once. How about if this was one of your family members? Would u want them executed? Probably not.....

Amen! This man is a Terrorist! He terrorized 3 states for 28 days. I feared for my family every time we left our house. I am all for the Death Penalty and say use it often. God Bless all the victims and their families who lost their loved ones. Justice is Finally going to be served!
