I'm not the least bit concerned with preserving that twisted fuck's dignity. If he does get the death penalty I genuinely hope he soils himself in fear as it's happening. Would serve the bastard right.
What's important is the state is seen to be serving justice rather than indulging in vengeance. The method of execution should absolutely be dispassionate, but that doesn't mean I can't hope the murderer breaks and humiliates himself at the end.
@woodsmoke doesn't happen to me
Must be a PEBCAK error
In case you're not aware, replying to posts from the OG Feed page (didn't try the others) seems to be borked. All that shows up is a thick grey line where the reply window should be.
Fortunately we can get around this by opening a direct link to the post in question.
My boss at the warehouse is similar. He's gotten dozens of faculty and staff in hot water over the years for reporting shady shit they've tried to pull. They've organized witch hunts against him multiple times but none of it has ever stuck 'cause he's always done everything strictly by policy and procedure.
That said, he'll never go much further in the organization than he already has. Too many enemies. Seeing the toll dealing with all the bullshit thrown his way has taken on him over the years is one of the primary reasons I've absolutely no interest in moving up in the organization myself.
Probably true, which is why I doubt they had any involvement in his murder. If they were to start going extralegal on those speaking out against "God's Chosen" there are much bigger fish to fry and, as noted, much more effective and much less attention-grabbing ways to silence them.
I don't think the guy should be made to suffer unduly. If the investigation can conclusively determine he's the one pulled the trigger I absolutely believe he should be put against a wall and shot rather than put in prison at the taxpayers' expense.
He forfeited any right to humane consideration when he planned and carried out the cold, premeditated killing of an unarmed man in front of his family.
Hardly surprising, considering he's likely from one of the cities in Utah Valley - the biggest of which, Provo, is the HQ of the LDS Church. Likely was raised LDS and fell away from the church in his late teens or early 20s, just as was the case for myself and most ex-Mos I know.
Wouldn't surprise me in the least to learn this coincided with a radical shift leftward in his politics as the propaganda pumped into him by the public school system and university took root (again, just as was the case for myself and most ex-Mos I know), though I'll freely acknowledge that's speculation on my part.
