more barbaric or horrific than what happened to little Zahra, brothers Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton and all the other helpless children and murder victims that we are all hearing about in the news lately? IMO, no one can convince me that death by firing squad is more barbaric than what little Zahra suffered.

I wasn't saying it was *more* barbaric than his crimes. I just think once a person's no longer a threat (because the person is imprisoned), killing a person is murder. I don't think the government should participate in murder. This is an area where there is a lot of disagreement - I think most people disagree with me. I think maybe I'll start a different thread just about the death penalty because I think it's a big topic.
AND it turns out that article wasn't breaking news. It happened back in June. So, sorry about that. Also, MsDemeanor had a point about the article not containing enough info. It almost seemed like a fake article to me because it was so short, but it was from CNN which I don't consider fringe, so I went ahead and posted it. If I'd hunted around for a better article I would probably have noticed that it wasn't "breaking" news.
