One of the DC snipers has just been put to death. This proves how effective the death penalty really is. A person who murdered many innocent people has finally received his punishment - instead of the "slap on the wrist" those that don't agree with the death penalty would have given him.
One thing that needs to be addressed - especially since the shootings at Fort Hood - is that the DC sniper was a practicing Muslim (with the Nation of Islam) and served in the US military. All those people who tell us that the shootings (either at Fort Hood or Metro DC) had nothing to do with the shooters being Muslim is just plain dumb. They may want to put their heads in the sand and not see the facts staring them in their faces, but I will not. If we don't wake up and start putting more focus on the important aspects of these killings than we may be politically correct, but it will lead to the murders of more innocent men, women and children and that is something we need to stop.
As for all of those people out there who are against the death penalty I only have this to say: I only hope that you never have to worry that your family will be shot while shopping, pumping gas or sitting outside as some of us had to for several weeks in 2002.
