If it's crap... We'll tell you
John Allen Muhammad will be executed today at 9:00 PM EST.
For those who don't know who he is for some unexplainable reason, John Allen Muhammad, along with his protege Lee Boyd Malvo, were responsible for the Beltway sniper attacks which claimed the lives of ten completely random and innocent people, possibly seventeen, and injured three. The reason?
He was mad at his ex-wife.
Prosecutors believed that the entire thing was a plan to kill his ex-wife and regain custody of his kids, and he would use the random sniper attacks to draw attention away from himself. Malvo claimed that his greater plan though was to indoctrinate more troubled youths like Muhammad had done with him, and after training them to send them all across the United States and carry out mass shootings.
Muhammad was sentenced to death and has shown no remorse for his actions. Malvo, who was 17 at the time and could not face the death penalty, was sentenced to life in prison. Since then, he has regretted his decisions and has called the daughter of one of his victims and apologized for what he had done.
The Supreme Court denied Muhammad's appeal, meaning the only thing that would prevent his execution would be an intervention from the state of Virginia.
The death penalty is a controversial issue, but let's be clear. John Allen Muhammad is a vile man who doesn't care about anyone and would almost certainly try to kill more people if he were given the chance. He committed one of the most senseless crimes of the decade just because he was bitter, and dragged an impressionable youth with him to do his dirty work. Share your thoughts, but I say good riddance.

I don't know if this is some kind of joke, but that's not how things work in the real world. Muhammad was never "bullied". He was a trained soldier, a member of the Nation of Islam, and a terrorist admirer. Criminals don't boil down to "oh what a violent outburst he must have had a rough childhood/been bullied/abused". He was an angry person with crazy ideals and a complete disregard for others.

you put it like he was mailed from satan, if he grew up in america then it was possibly the bullying that made him believe in this ideals from his origin country, or the parents thought him. if he´s from the middle east then i feel no pity, thats what you wanted to hear right?

No, god. He didn't originate from the middle east, Muhammad isn't his birth name. It's Williams. Do you even know what the Nation of Islam is? And stop with the god damn bullying. Theodore Kaczynski was a brilliant, normal person and then decided to become a serial bomber. People can have an innate capability for violence without some horrible childhood trauma.

maybe his dad was a drunk and abused him, nobody would know. i dont think the koran theaches killing others, then there would be bombers everywhere. dont be so short minded, something must have given him the need to seek comfort in an exlusive group of fanatics.

What in the FUCK are you talking about? Do you understand or know ANYTHING I just mentioned? You keep deflecting everything with "maybe this" or "maybe that".

I agree with Manx: No one is a bad person. It's always someone else's fault for making them that way. We should give all violent and dangerous offenders puppies and cupcakes. If we hug them every day, that will fix them..eventually. We will probably lose a few huggers on the way, but a few innocent do-gooders is a small price to pay to fix one twisted sociopath that will always be wired differently from the rest of society. Love them, make them pinky swear to not do it again, and then send them out into the world.
