Current Ramblings

So the jury in the case has recommended the death penalty in the John Allen Mohammed trial. For those who haven't been keeping up, he's the older of the two responsible for and the now-conviced mastermind of the DC sniper attacks from just over a year ago. I'm personally glad to hear it. I'm not a big cheering fan of the death penalty by any means, but I think one of the truly, purely appropriate uses of it is for people like him who have decided that humanity is their prey. I'd lump any other serial killers in with that, too. I admit I'm probably a little biased in this specific case, since I had family and friends in DC when it was going on. Some of the places he struck were places they shopped or bought gas. He didn't disregard human life, he disregarded humanity as a whole. He would have taken me down, he would have taken you down, he just didn't care. So I say fuck 'im. Civilization can't function with people like him.
