I know he killed a police officer, but there are these things called courts and trials and that's where guilt and the appropriate punishment are supposed to be determined.

Innocent until vigilante justice strikes.

Law & Order's got a new storyline.

I hope he suffered...

So if you're on the jury, you'd vote to acquit his killer, regardless of the evidence?

I have no problem with people who think this is the way justice should go, as long as they acknowledge that it is a direct contradiction of the ideals of this nation.

He should stay in jail, but I think he earned himself a few conjugal visits...

Were you upset when Dahmer was killed in prison?

I don't believe my emotional state, or yours, was at issue in my statement.

Dahmer was already tried and convicted, which is more than you can say for the guy in this case.
 
Re: Accused cop-killer stranged in jail

Stranged? Is that like the opposite of normaled?

That being said, I'm not surprised. Not sure where I fall on this, but you're right, the fact he was not yet convicted probably makes me less OK with it.

I'd hate to be "stranged" in jail, or anywhere else for that matter. :) :) :)

What do you expect from somebody who got a D in typing in high school and a pitty-D at that?

Exactly.

Given the nature of Dahmer's crimes, that is not a great comparison.

Full of fail, that comparison is. <yoda>
 
Yeah, **** that guy! Who needs courts and trials for this kind of stuff! They're a waste of time! Nobody has ever been wrongly accused of a crime in the history of the country! Kill that ****er, yeah!
