Surely we can do better. Something more painful maybe?
No. This should not be about revenge. If it is, then we are no better than him. He should be painlessly and as comfortably as possible put to death.
How about we have him sit on a pressure cooker bomb?
What could be more fair than that?
How about we forgive him? That is a far better answer and will show him the love and forgiveness of God is for him too.
Sure. Then execute him.
Did I say that his sentence should be changed? Lessened? No. Let the judgment be what it is. Forgiveness is free. Freely we have received forgiveness and freely we should give it to others. The consequences of our actions remain - just as it remained for Karla Faye Tucker and others - they were forgiven of their sins but the judgment for crime committed went forward according to the law of the land.
Did I say you said to change it? If you want to forgive him, go ahead and forgive him. He did nothing to me so I have nothing to forgive him for. I want him dead because he is a clear danger to others. I don't want him mistreated, killed in some colorful manner or abused in any way. I just want him removed so he can't cause further harm.
