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.

 

Drifter lives in Colorado? Sorry, he can't use that as an excuse. Perhaps he's too busy searching fake web sites.

 

My point is - it's always entertaining seeing someone, especially in a holier than thou way, bemoan the actions of a killer by wanting to kill someone. And in such a casual way. You know, being the tough guy on a message board - something Drifter specializes in.

 

"Holmes is, as far as I'm concerned, not a human being." Wow. That's just how the Nazi thought about the Jews. I guess it's makes it so much easier to kill someone if you don't think of them as human. And yet you and Drifter are somehow honoring those that died, and their families? Doesn't sound like it.

 

Finally - I have the tact of a rabid pitbull? Have you read Drifter's posts? And aren't you the one who used the term used bicycle?  Heal thyself.
