  1. I think you need to consult the dictionary. You are thinking about revenge.

    Incidentally, why are you so upset about some jig killer going to the chair?

  2. I just don't think is correct for people to murder. And to me is clear that if you take someone's life, yours should be revoked.

    Canada and Europe have always had a low homocide rate, compared to the US.

  7. I would think racists like those who pervade the ET chit chat forum would want to give Tookie a medal for killing African Americans.....

    Why wouldn't they want to turn him loose so that he could go back in the neighborhood and murder more brothers? Wouldn't that serve the ET racist's agenda?

    Gang violence? Why does the basic redneck ET member care if the Crips kill the Blood?

    Notice the absence of the word "justice"

  9. That sounds very racist.

    Your assumption on ET membership is flawed I believe.

    There are for sure some loose cannons here though !! :D
