Texas government seems to think so.

No we shouldn't. I'm not a DP supporter at all, but certainly not in this case.

On top of that, look at what isn't mentioned here. Who drives around town with an armed buddy? Think he didn't know the other guy had a gun? Why pull over a strangers car? Did Foster, who had "nothing to do with this" call 911 on behalf of the shooting victim? Did he turn his buddy in to the police? From further on the article: "These are extraordinarily severe consequences about what was at best, a guess about what was in [Foster's] mind when these things happened," Robert C. Owen, a law professor at the University of Texas-Austin law school said." You know what else was severe? Getting frickin' shot for no apparent reason when you're on a night out with your girl friend . Nothing more than another burden on society. Only bad part is they're going to waste taxpayers money on the lethal injection dosage. Just throw him off a cliff. |

^ None of that justifies the DP in this case.

Acording to the law, apparently it does. It's kind of nice when the law works the way it's supposed to for a change, even if it's by accident.

HE WAS DRIVING!!!! How could he be in the wrong place when the place was of his choosing? LOL. That's just rediculous! ![]() And what's even more bizarre, you don't even realize or at least mention the two who really were at the wrong place at the wrong time; LaHood & Patrick. Beyond irony. |

Statistically, there is a weapon in every third car in the US. So chances are that you even might be unknowingly in a car with someone who has a gun with him. And when he shoots someone, this stupid law can get you killed. This case is a bit different. Yes, they were on a robbery tour, which is a crime. Yes, they were no angels. No, law is not about f ![]() A legal system has to differentiate between who has murdered someone and who not. And Foster didn't kill that person. A legal system is about repentence and remission, not revenge. Some of the good Christian values that have translated into legal speech in most of the western world. |

They were on a robbery tour with a handgun. Are you really so innocent of a person as to think that having a handgun during a robbery tour wasn't part of the plan? And if you have a handgun and are out on this robbery tour thing, or as it's also known, CRIME SPREE, yeah, you're gonna kill someone. Quote:
Oh, I'm sure he's repented many times. And I'm unsure what you are referring to by remission, but if it's that the crime can never happen again, then at least by this person, mission accomplished. As to revenge, you or I can call it that, but to the families of the victims, it's called justice or closure. And it's really easy to sit there in your dorm room and judge them on that I'm sure. Oh, and btw, those handguns in 1 & 3 cars? That's not even remotely accurate but still I'd bet most of those guns were to protect from people exactly like our poor "victim" here. |

I wonder why some people get such satisfaction from the deaths of others. Even if they are guilty and even if they are human scum, I wonder what part of you as a human being is missing in order to feel so triumphant about it. It's kind of sad to me.

The next sentence reads: "This case is a bit different." OK, the qualifier "a bit" is misplaced, you could leave that out. Still, it indicates that I wasn't describing that very situation in the paragraph above. Quote:
You have to differentiate between who pulled the trigger, and who was accomplice. That's how it works normally. But apparently not in Texas, which is sad. Quote:
Most people agreed that the legal system has to be independent from the wishes of the victims, as of course they will hardly forgive the murderer that easily. But even between the wifes, sons and daughters of those killed reactions were different whether the top-level terrorists should get released, yet all agreed that you can't let them decide, but the legal system. We abolished the death penalty. But maybe that's another philosophy, and the death penalty debate is like the abortion debate, it will never end. I don't ask the victims for remission, but the legal system, basically for lack of a better term in English. Furthermore it's easy for you to judge every criminal and wish him the death penalty, as long as it's no relative or friend to yourself. Quote:
