and I don't think he's going to stand in the way!

Kaine: No Reason To Stop Sniper Executionl

If you didn't live in the DC area seven years ago you may not understand. This monster and his protege kept an entire region of the US in terror for three long weeks. I, for one, think the injection is too kind. It's a shame Virginia allows him to opt out of the electric chair.

Hopefully, after tomorrow, the families of the victims can get some closure.

VA Gov. Clears Way for DC Sniper's Execution

*Paul LaRuffa wants to know justice will be carried out tonight at 9 p.m. in the ?Death Chamber? at the Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt, Va. ? he just doesn?t want to see it.

LaRuffa, who, by most accounts, was the first victim of the D.C. snipers, who carried out a weeks-long rampage of terror and murder in and around Washington, D.C., in 2002, says the first question he was asked after John Allen Muhammadwas sentenced to death in 2003, was whether he planned to attend his assailant?s execution.

"I?ve given every day of the past seven years to thinking about what he did to me. I don?t need to give up another day for him. It?s enough to know justice is being done, he said of his decision not to attend Tuesday?s planned execution of Muhammad.

LaRuffa, 62, miraculously survived five gunshots at close range to his chest, spine, diaphragm and stomach, when Muhammad and his 17-year-old accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo robbed him of $3,500 and a laptop computer on Sept. 5, 2002.*

amnesty international and human rights watch say that lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment and torture....in this case, wouldn`t upset me if they`re right.......


i love happy endings.....:sadwave:

It is done. How appropriate that the terrorist was executed and pronounced dead at 9:11.
