I just finished reading the latest version of the story, Mobius, and, to be polite, I find it incredibly sad that you're using their deaths as a political tool (or, more likely, simply a way to rile up some folks at 'Poly).
Six people are dead — including two children, a 6-year-old girl and a 3-year-old boy — all over what apparently was years of animosity and something about an unpaid debt the now-dead brother allegedly owed the murderous sister.
The story did go into some detail, and I'm not ashamed to admit that it brought a tear to my eye reading about the children's last moments on Earth (the little boy was apparently playing with the batteries from the phone his mother had desperately used to try and make a 911 call).
If found guilty, the sister and her boyfriend do not deserve the death penalty. They deserve life — life in prison, solitary confinement, no human contact whatsoever, no real meals other than nutrition pills, and no sunlight. No nothing. Nothing but their thoughts and themselves for the next 50 to 60 years. Then, when they die, they can seek forgiveness.

They can meet their Maker at first opportunity, is my thought on it. We can't give them Hell. He can.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

This is a philosophical/religious/faith thing ... but I view death as something of a release and I don't believe in eternal damnation. In the end, it'll be up to a jury and judge and not us. I don't envy them one bit ...

HOLY LAWSUIT BATMAN!
Is this a ####ing joke?In another twist, the sheriff's office said it had a 911 emergency call from the house at about 5.15pm on Christmas Eve. Two deputies went to the property but left without entering when they found the gate locked. The call, a police spokesman said, probably came near the end of the killings, though an exact timeline had not been established for each murder. The emergency operator who took the call heard shouting in the background, but no voices. "Heard a lot of yelling," the operator wrote in a note to the police dispatcher, but it "sounded more like party noise than angry heated arguing". He made two more calls to the Anderson house, but each went to voicemail.
Are you kidding me?
They get a 9-11 call and left because of a locked gate?Comment

If ever there were justification for Biblical punishment, this would be it.
I'm with Gatekeeper on this one:
Solitary, in a single room with no chance of suicide, no internet, no books, no human contact - food will be served by machines, any other requirement will be met through recorded messages to the prison staff, so that no feedback is possible, and any repairs to the cell will be conducted transferring the inmate to another cell by means of a machine, or by sedating the inmate and moving the inmate temporarily to another cell while asleep - and in general, no communication with the outside world. This cell must also have no sense of day or night - no natural light allowed. The inmate also has no chronometers, so no way of keeping time. The inmate is allowed to switch the lights on or off at will, so that all possible connections with reality are severed.Comment

Your list differs a bit from the "incident" Mobby is abusing. They are random while these killings are the result of a year long dispute. It could have happend in any country despite strict gun control.Originally posted by Reiko
