There is no justice for what he did. His wasted,and violent life is simply not a fair exchange for the loved,and productive lives he took. A drone strike was too fast,and painless for the sick son of a bitch.

I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said “Obama: Tough on Capitalists, Soft on Terrorists”.
Yeah, tell that to this guy or anybody who bought an S&P index fund on the day of his inauguration.

Dang Obama, always taking credit for killing Jihadi John and Bin Laden when he had nothing to do with either. I just wish the president talked a better game and kept us safe like my brother W. George is a hero: remember that jumpsuit on the aircraft carrier?

What’s a “rech?”

Could that be a reach, but spoken with a scottish accent?

Even the AP can no longer afford copy editors.

Until things settle down and pay sites are grouped by subject to be affordable this isn’t going to change.

IMHO this is a great reason why the death penalty should not be completely done away with. He is a sadistic psycho murderer who enjoys what he does and will never stop, he would do it again in a heartbeat if (theoretically) released from prison. At his young age you would think it would be a more fitting punishment to make him grow old in a violent environment like prison, but I think he is a zealot, I think he would adapt and most likely end up converting many to follow in his footsteps after their release. Unless you kept him in isolation the rest of his life, I think death was the right call in this case.

I do feel that way too. It should be set aside for brutal killers who we know are guilty of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt
