Last night John Muhammad was executed for killing 10 people. His accomplice, Lee Malvo, who should have been with him, is in prison serving "life without parole". According to one reporter, John walked into the execution chamber and lay down on a bed with "needles dug into his arms". (That reporter missed class on the day they taught students to spell "inserted".)
The U.S. Supreme Court and the Governor of Virginia rejected appeals that John should not be executed because he was mentally ill. What? Of coarse he was mentally ill, you have to be crazy to take a rifle and go murder 10 innocent human beings going about their everyday lives.
It is a disservice to those who are truly mentally ill to link John and Lee to them. True mentally ill people don't understand right from wrong. John and Lee knew perfectly what they were doing.
Those criminals on death row and those serving "life without the possibility of parole" should be put in line for God's judgement, they should not be living among us.
