Fox News gives us the story of a man claiming responsibility for an abortion clinic bombing, orchestrating the Atlanta Olympics bomb, and they say he will confess to two other bombs as well in order to escape the death penalty, and instead serve 4 consecutive life sentences. This guy is clearly deserving of the death sentence if ever there was anyone. If, indeed, he really did commit the crimes to which he's confessing, it is all the MORE reason to let him fry. It's quite possible that he had nothing to do with the Atlanta bomb, and is covering up for someone else he may be associated with in his white-supremist religion. Even if that is the case, this man maliciously took the lives of multiple unarmed civilians, with the one abortion clinic bomb. It appears the prosecution would certainly be able to convict him for that one, with little problem. The man was on the run in the Appalachian Mountains for 5 years.
I ask you this... Why do we need him to confess to more than the one bombing? Is that not enough to thoroughly punish him?
Nevertheless, if the judges accept the pleas he will spend the rest of his life in prison without a prayer of getting out.
Let's analyze the logic in all this for just a moment. Man commits heinous crime and goes on the run for years. Man gets caught and realizes he is going to pay for his crimes with his life. Man then admits to FURTHER heinous crimes, in order to .... escape... a harsher penalty. More Crime = Less Punishment. Brilliant.
Oh yeah.. and guess who gets to pay for his 4 consecutive lifetime stays (pretending that such a thing would even be possible) in Club Fed? We do, faithful citizens... we do.
