Comments on: Bizarre Execution In Ohio

Killer Laughed And Joked As Executioners Struggled To Find A Vein For Lethal Injection

People like to blame others for problems. Let's quit blaming and let's find solutions to the problems. Of course solutions aren't easy. If they were easy, then we'd all be living in peace and harmony for the last 1000 years.

I think Ohio found a solution for this problem.

processor2, I am pro-choice. Why would I be upset about the death penalty or the death of this man and how can you even connect the two together? Your post is completely irrelevant and quite frankly just plain stupid.

Read the post again, you idiot! Who is it to? Not you, since you say you are not upset by the execution. You are way beyond stupid.

To all liberals upset by the execution of Christopher Newton.

I know how to make you feel better

Don't consider it an execution, instead, just "Visualize" that Chris Newton was a cute little baby, and the only thing Ohio did was perform a late-term abortion.

That should ease your liberal conciousness's.

Cross-eyed, ignorant Cracker - talking about chicken bones and stew as the family of the man he murdered waits to see him choke on his own black vomit.

Undoubtedly the son of good Republishit Party operatives - home skooled just like his Cracker Daddy !

[incog-nito]

As they say, if you can't laugh at your own execution, what can you laugh at?

[sofi2hot]

wow. such evil.. i pity the family.

Execution isn't a deterent by any means. It never was meant to be one. It was, the "ultimate" price one was to pay for taking anothers life. You take a life, you give your life. Seems fair to me. I don't see too many murderers killing their victims "humanely".
I think mitch0927 is on to something, but to bad nobody thinks of the burdens the taxpayers endure to keep these pieces of s_hit alive and well fed.

[clarkssuppor]

For the ACLU to say it does not support capital punishment is hypocrisy, since they support the killing of the unborn. It seems the Pope has a consistency in being against both.

[jn122736]

I either heard or read somewhere that the only ture humane way to execute someone is to forgive them and tell them they are free to go, when they turn around, put a .45 slug through the back of their head while they are smiling and thinking they are free. One shot, one bullet (about 50 cents) and it is over.

mitch0927;

I remember reading a story about a man scheduled to be hanged at sunrise. That night, a fellow inmate showed him a tunnel he had recently discovered.

The condemned man entered the tunnel and crawled for a long time and finally, upon seeing light ahead hr experienced a tremendous feeling of relief at his good fortune. He hurriedly exited the tunnel; emerging into the court yard in front of the scaffold where the hangman, and the crowd, were waiting for him.

Would that be considered cruel and unusual punishment?

"I totally agree with being tougher on criminals, regardless of the crime. Public hangings and such were the way we started, and thats the way we need to continue. Just look at the world today compared to 1950, 1960, 1970, and 1980, I believe we have just forgotten all about morals and values."

Let's see how many flaws we can find with this logic.
1. Being more tough on criminals will not "restore" the lost morals and values.
2. It's an extremely naive view of the ways things used to be. In the 1950s, there were people being lynched and killed, simply for their color of their skin, not because of any crime they committed. There were laws which made it a crime to have mixed marriages (some of those laws existed into the late 1960s). I am sure they were pedophiles and other horrid crimes back then. It was just that it was easier to keep those secrets hidden.
3. It's also an extremely naive view to not realize the world has greatly changed since back then. International travel was not as frequent as cost compared to one's salary was quite unaffordable. Now, people can cross the oceans for approximately one week's pay. What should we do with progress? Try to prevent it so we can return to our enclosed, protected world?

People like to blame others for problems. Let's quit blaming and let's find solutions to the problems. Of course solutions aren't easy. If they were easy, then we'd all be living in peace and harmony for the last 1000 years.

This guy looks like the man who played "Baby Face" in the movie "Oh Brother Where Art Thou". Seems kinda like he was happy to die.

[ssporleder]

"He celebrated for the one-year anniversary of Brewer's death, creating a party hat and party blowers, a prison psychiatrist testified"

It would be difficult to claim this man as "family".

[mikealford3]

we kill people to prove that killing is wrong. pretty sensible, huh?

That is not true leftcoast. We execute and impose punishment on those who commit horrible crimes. There is a distinct difference.

[noview1]

I wouldn't want the remains of that worthless creaton.

[vjhahn]

It's quite sad that Newton's family didn't want his remains to bury him at least.

[panhandlpete]

What a wasted effort! Since the military is so short of personnel, why not forfeit the sentences of any prisoner who will go to Iraq and serve? It really isn't as bad as it might sound, since our Congress/Senators want to give amnesty to millions of illegal agliens who have broken LAWS. Not amnesty, some say, for they will have to pay fines.....not true, as only the head of the household will pay the fine while other family members pay processing fees.

For a Christian believer to say they agree with capital punishment proves they are a hypocrite......as this violates the THOU SHALT NOT KILL commandment.

Prisons have become business ventures for states, and the Judicial System has enslaved millions of the lower class via their probation programs where they must make weekly payments......all in this wonderful free country.

Maybe it is that the Ohio potato is good for longevity! It takes longer to die there that in other killing chambers across the nation.

Another dead body is thrown upon the pile. America's culture of death continues to flourish.

[kimec4-2009]

If he was so anxious to die, why didn't he just off himself?
