Mixed Feelings About the Green River Killer?

[CandyCrim21]

I'm not usually for capitol punishment and I'm not saying that maybe they should have given him it but it just seems to me that he got off pretty easy for claiming to murder 48 women. Even if we wanted to study him he would still have like ten years of appeals before execution. Bundy was executed after killing only 28 women, right? Isn't there something wrong with this picture? In case you don't know who this guy is known in the media as the Green River Killer. Here is the link:

I just wanted to know other people thoughts on the issue.

1. I moved to the seattle area in 1984 and was terrified by the Green River

Killer. I couldn't sleep at night. No matter how many times my dad told me he only killed women I still was inconsolable. Now I see that chump on trial and realize that I could have kicked his ass in 1984! He deserves to die but the state should not have the right to kill him.

2. Yeah

See I agree. Also I think that if they gave him the death penalty he would still be getting off easy. I don't feel that theres any real justice here. He is going to get exactly what he wants no matter what. A movie will be made, books will be written, he will be studied and pondered over and I'm sure thats the kind of recognition he wanted. Maybe you should have just kicked his ass!;)

3. Or he will kill again

A guy who has murdered 48 people is not likely to quit the habit any time soon. That puts prisoners, guards, visitors and staff at risk. Not to mention the fact that he could always escape and kill again on the outside.
