[QUOTE="klmno, post: 318495, member: 3699"] I wouldn't want to watch it. I do still feel some sadness that another person's life was lost unnaturally. I think a lot of things contributed to making him the way he was, but the fact that I don't see any way possible he could ever contribute anything positive- not even as a jailhouse peer to others. He never showed a drop of remorse, apologized, showed any emotion over this, nothing. I feel for his family but truthfully, as Smallworld pointed out, this was absolute terror - for parents, kids, teachers, everyone. Since you mentioned 9/11- it reminds me that at the time the sniper was around, no one knew if he was a terrorist under Osama or something- we were worried here that it could be a precursor to another bombing or something. I think it was that victim's brother that said he witnessed it and the feeling of seeing someone's life taken, even this guy's, was more powerful than the closure that he got from knowing he was gone. Star, Muhamad (sp) was the adult who just got executed. Malvo is the teen- he's a different story in my book. He was brainwashed, manipulated, and mentored (for lack of better word) by Muhammad as a teen but has shown remorse, admitted to what he did, even more than he was convicted of, and apparently really trying to be a different, responsible person. I don't know how I'd feel about him ever being released, if parole is even an option at some point in time for him, but I wouldn't want him executed. It's just not the same thing to me. [/QUOTE]
