Quote:I can't believe that I'm about to defend Drifter (somebody stick a needle in my arm and make sure I still bleed), but there are lots of people, especially here in Colorado, that are extremely unhappy that Holmes wasn't sentenced to death. This includes lots of people that identify as anti-death penalty otherwise. You really had to be here and see the immediate aftermath, and knowing someone who was in the theater really puts it in perspective as well. Holmes is, as far as I'm concerned, not a human being. He deserves no sympathy, no mercy and no rights. Our justice system worked exactly as it was supposed to here, but to demonize and mock Drifter on this one is demonizing and mocking the families of some of the victims, who were also very upset (to say the least) that a single holdout juror, citing their personal ideology, was all that kept Holmes from dying.

 

I know you have all the tact of a rabid pitbull, but surely even you're better than saying that families of the Aurora victims are better suited for anti-American laws because they're upset that Holmes was allowed to live.
