Sometimes a terrorist is nothing more than a murderer  email this discussion to a friend?

Tick...tick...tick.

Right about now John Allen Muhammad, better known as the D.C. or the Beltway Sniper is strapped onto the gurney and receiving the lethal injections that will end his miserable life. For 2 months in 2002 Muhammad and his accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, kept the people who lived and worked in the greater metro area of Maryland, D.C. and Virginia in a state of terror as they randomly gunned down innocent people. They shot 16...killing 10. No one ever saw a thing other than the victims falling to the ground.

Was this killing spree religiously motivated? Did it have anything at all to do with any ideology? Was it politically motivated? No. This man planned to kill his exwife and wanted to use the murders to cover up his ugly plot. He also wanted money and demanded a $10 million dollar ransom.

Tonight this man pays for his crimes. Sometimes a terrorist is nothing more than a murderer. Thank you Virginia.

hi spalladino yes sometimes a terrorist is really nothing but a murderer.I am
glad that he is now at least paying for his crimes.not that that helps much'
but I can imagine some closure for the families of the people he murdered.
the world is surely better off without him.even if it had been religiously motivated that to me would not excuse any of what he did any way. It is only
too bad they could not have caught him after the first murder and spared a'few lives at least.

I wish they could have caught him sooner, too. As it was they were looking for a white van and my husband happened to have white company vans at the time so he and his crews were stopped a lot before the police finally started putting stickers on the ones who had already been checked. If he hadn't gotten greedy and sent a ransom note with prints on it he may have never been caught.

Thanks Spalladino, my sentiments exactly. In fact my father and I were discussing his execution earlier, and how the families of his victim's will be there to watch. Too bad they can't get him by firing squad, with each person to hold the rifle that does him in.

I remember those murders, the very real terror that infected people while they were happening. That they were tied into someone killing his ex makes it even worse--he was aggravating fear towards a religious group that already terrified people.

I remember the Sikh that was killed in Arizona while I lived there. I was horrified that someone would blindly murder someone who wore a turban.

That man deserves what he got.

I lived up there when this was happening...lived close to where one of the killings occured and worked just off the Beltway...and I can tell you that being a possible target was stressful. Someone at the college coined the phrase "Sniper Shuffle" for the little bob & weave dance it was recommended that you do when filling your tank at a gas station. People were advised to wait for the bus behind some kind of cover.

Finally, the sorrow of the American people ends when a heartless murderer gets his fair punishments. How miserable,an inhumane person who has done so much vices. He is no different from an animal, a beast. Finally justice arrives. No one knows his motives but no one cares. And he has to die.

A crime, murder, etc. is simply what it is. We often put different terms to go along with it to make it have that effect we want. Terrorist, hate crime, or murder.
Regardless, good riddance to trash.

I remember this horrific tragedy and like the others I feel relieved that this poor excuse of a human being pays for his crime. I heard the news of the execution on the radio and although I have never rejoiced over someone’s death I did feel that justice was done, I would have shot him like he did to his victims though.

Isn't it awful what he did?! Think about the victims' families and what they must have gone through. I'm glad he's getting what he deserves. Kathy.

spalladino,

A life for a life.

I really do not have any inkling idea as to why he is killing other than trying to dare himself with each killing to kill his ex-wife and to lay his hands on millions of "easy money". Just some individual who cannot take rejection into stride and eventually let hatred overwhelm him. It is just sad that innocent lives are lost due to his rash rationale.

If you ask me if he deserves the death sentence, I think you know my answer and it is not far from yours.

3 cheers to justice!
