They should be taken out and shot , no trial ,end of story...kill the bastards.
We are better than that.
Because we moved from a revenge system to a judicial system we live in the safest time in all of human history.
These bastards want to drag us all back to the Dark Ages. We must take the moral high ground.
They want martyrdom - give them a lifetime of incarceration and let their names be forgotten.
Lee Rigby is a hero, he fought against everything these fanatics stand for.
Witness My Fury, I am with you on BTK! I lived in the same town as this most evil man! Not only did he have a city job, he was very active in his church. That is how he was caught, he was traced back to the church because he was using the churches computer to toy with the police, and I think he was getting ready to murder again. And I am pretty sure he is not in general population in prison, or he would die for sure. I was shocked also that he did not get the death penalty! grrrrrr

Too execute these two men would be to play into their hands and to lower ourselves to their subhuman level. Rise above it folks and let these two idiots be forgotten by all but their most fundementalist fellow Islamists.
We can not give a government any mandate for a death penalty as this will lead not only to innocent people being executed but also to yet more erosion of our precious human rights.
Too many convicted people are innocent. The Innocence Project proves innocence with DNA. Conviction is the work of fallible humans. Too much is left to chance. The legal system is too sloppy. Besides, I've been inside jails. I would rather be dead. Lynch mobs raise a host of problems. On a personal level, I was furious with William Kuntsler for defending the men accused of the Central Park jogger case. I could have been their victim. Well, I cursed at him. Time proved that they were not guilty. Also, conviction rates show racism.
I never understood how criminal lawyers sleep at night. I always wondered why the folks who have been caught on tape and can 100 per cent be identified by witnesses still get a lawyer, who play the plea bargain game when the person should be thrown under the jail. What appears to be so obvious in criminal law always goes round in circles just as much as civil cases.
Band on the Run: In this case there is no doubt, the same as the
LA airport shooting recently. I agree, in the past many have been
convicted that was innocent. The problem is the prison system.
I have never seen the inside of a jail or prison, it scares the bee-Jesus
out of me just the thought of going to prison.
Prison is a joke, for some it's a vacation. Bring back hard labor, take away
phone calls, TV's, and other recreational activities from the hard core inmates.
Why keep a person alive if he have no problems or no conscious in killing another
human being. Some people will never be able to be repatriated back in society,
maybe like Satan.
Wow. If you want to understand the mindset of those that hung Black men from trees for looking a white women, just read this thread. Unless you want to live like barbarians, people get trials. And those that think jail is a joke or vaction should spend a couple of days in one.

Wow.....stick to the OP. This was about those cold blooded killers and those like them deserving death.
It was about abandoning the rule of law and resorting to mob "justice".
"They should be taken out and shot , no trial ,end of story"
I agree, a fair trial but don't take years and our money to bring a person to
justice when every one in the country saw the person commit the crime.
And by the way, I'm from Arkansas, 1947-1959, my neighbor was one of
the young men that was sitting on a stool in Little Rock AR 1958-1959 when
they was refused service and beaten.
And prison here in California, it's a badge of honor for some gang members to
serve time in prison. It is no big deal for them.
