Jim, I don't want my taxes going to support a convicted murderer for the rest of his natural life. Did he give his victim the opportunity to live out her life? Did he care about her at all? NO! So, why should we allow him to live out the rest of his life? Eye for an eye. You take a life, the citizens get to take your's.

Governments have a responsibility to punish criminals, and some crimes warrant the death penalty. The justice system is laced with uninformed and mistaken apologists for criminals that need to be killed, and I suspect that they deliberately slow down the process.

If I had my way, as soon as he was found guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt in a fair trail he would have been sitting there knowing his death was coming within 30 days! It is total BS we had to pay for him in prison for that long.

The problem with the way we punish people for violent crimes is it takes TOO long. Society forgets what really happened, the story is diluted. They should of had every last one of those SOBs swinging from the gallows in front of the court house within 30 days max! The public should SEE it and know (and remember) that THIS is what happens when you choose to act like a complete wild animal.

I'm not sad a bit for Gardner, he gets far less than he deserves but I'm totally heartbroken for Ms McLauchlin and her family, they didn't deserve any of this and I'm sorry the state has dragged its feet for 13yrs before justice could be served.

Well the best that victims family can hope for other than some closure is that the injection fails somewhat and he has to lay there suffering for an extended amount of time.

That it the problem with today's society, if you commit a crime of this nature and if sentenced to death you know it will be done as painless as possible because of "your rights". Why is this? bring back being drawn and quartered. Maybe these types of things wouldn't happen, nahh who am I kidding this will never change until the court systems change.

I really -usually- enjoy reading the comments from folks I might not know personally, but that I can relate to. This morning, though, the comments are so polarized. On the one side, the liberal who doesn't want to see the positive, deterrent value of capital punishment. On the other, some who would be overjoyed at the prospect of vigilante justice. Neither position is "right" from the perspective of victim, perpetrator, or society. The victim deserves "speedy" justice (as do the accused). The accused (according to the Constitution) deserves a speedy trial of his peers and a reasonable appeals process. Society deserves to know the "facts" that are involved in criminal behavior to be able to deal with present and future situations.

Having said ALL that, the problem here is that the appeals process has become, more or less, a roulette wheel that a criminal's lawyer is allowed to spin numerous times until he either gets what he wants or runs out of money. The appeals process (IMHO) should be limited to a specific period of time - then justice, as those peers determined, should be carried out.

They should not spend 13 years on death row. It should be no more than two years, and that's it. If it's a simple open and shut case however, no more than 30 days. Lethal injection is too good for scum like this. A firing squad would be more appropriate.

This is NOT "vigilante justice", slow and drawn out justice for sure, but justice imposd by the people of the state of SC and the State itslef.

The appeals process has been corrupted by bleeding heart leftists and of course the ACLU. The states have a right to execute those found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

1 appeal to the State supreme court and thats it. The federal government (SCOTUS) has no constitutional right to interfere in the states right,(10th amend).

But of course, we all know that the federal government, soon or later finds away to inject itself into the states business.
Placing an undue burden on the state taxpayer to continue to re-convict a murderer several times and maintain his existance in a penal institution all the while.

Cold, I don't know if this would be "vigilante justice" but it seems that turning the proven guilty perpetrators over to family members (after a fair and just trial)to do with want they want, might discourage some in the future from committing similar crimes.

If punishment were to fit the crime it might be in violation of the eighth amendment but are not liberals always quick to point out that the constitution is a living document and subject to change determined by the times we live etc.?

Would they suddenly be in favor of the constitution remaining as it was intended by the framers? You betcha!

yird,

I agree with you that would discourage further crime but it would never fly for the reasons you stated. As I stated in my earlier posts I am a big fan of bringing back public hangings shortly after the verdict is in for violent criminals. When done properly, the neck breaks, so it is very quick and not "painful" so to speak. I do think it would have a HUGE psychological effect on others thinking of committing crimes but our society is too soft for this as well... so we continue to get what we are currently experiencing. Doing the same thing over and over in the justice system will continue to produce the same results, over and over.

For example, and their are many of them, not just this one, and no I'm not a racist, but the "Gangsta Rapper" mentality is a real problem. Kids think its cool and ok to act that way because the hear ______ degrading women, using the N word, selling drugs, robbing, murdering, rapping, etc 24/7!!! Why won't Society and The Media stand up against them and say "your wrong - your music is poisoning our youth, we don't support you, we won't buy your crappy records, your out of business." Where is Rev. Wright? The NAACP? The parents? WHY WON'T THIS HAPPEN? WILL SOMEONE ANSWER? PLEASE, I WANT TO KNOW!

I understand freedom of speech and expression but you can't yell FIRE in a crowded theater either.

As long as it is cool to be a criminal and there are no real threats to their own person involved we will continue to be a society that breeds violence. Their ethics are obviously completely gone so "because its wrong" doesn't deter. Prison is "cool" because ______ says it is on the radio so thats no big deal. Prison may be a thought in the back of their mind but it can't be SEEN. Convicted fellons SWINGING in front of the court house can. That burns a mental image into their mind and just maybe, they would think about that before committing these unspeakable crimes.

But it won't happen. Stupid is as stupid does. WAKE UP AMERICANS.

SCdeacinNYC (anonymous) says...

This story sickened me in many ways, I was probably too young to remember when it first happened, but my parents say it was a huge deal in the media at the time. My thoughts are with this young woman's family, who have honestly said that this wouldn't relieve any of their grief.

I'm sorry, even though I definitely won't nearly be shedding any tears for this psycho (good riddance), I still don't buy the idea that the death penalty is a deterrent. Many of the people who we say deserve the most serious punishment are indeed psychos or sociopaths or both. (Your serial killer, torturers, rapists...general disgusting human beings). Somehow I don't see those people stopping before they commit a horrible crime and saying "wow, let me think a second, I might get caught and get executed." I remember having this discussion once with a group of friends who had varying views on the death penalty. I told everyone that punishing someone with death, isn't necessarily the worst punishment, because death isn't something everyone is afraid of and is viewed differently by different people. Not to get all philosophical here, but essentialy I don't think executing Tim McVeigh did anything to Tim McVeigh, per se, just ended his existence. Sure, it took him away from society, but so does putting him in prison for life. I'm sure the amount of money it takes to execute someone, past appeals and all may be comparable to what we spend having them in a maximum security prison. (Though I haven't seen any figures on this.)

That isn't even to mention the fact that sometimes many of the people who do commit the WORST crimes never even get the death penalty, some of the worst serial killers we've had in America have just ended up with life in prison. I'm not going to judge who should be executed or not, since I don't particularly believe in it. But I would bet that by the standards we hold, many people who have committed crimes like this one or worst sometimes live long lives behind bars. Whether or not that's a walk in the park or not, is up to whatever prison they are in. I'm tempted to think if they are a child molester or serial killer..NOT.

The death penalty is about PUNISHMENT.

"Deterrence is not the question when you are looking at the retributive value of capital punishment. In short, deterrence can only work if the threat of punishment is combined with the conviction that the forbidden acts are not only illegal and therefore punishable but immoral.

Without the conviction of morality, the easily frightened will not break the law, but the fearless will break the law, the irrational will break the law, and all others will break the law.

Apparently certain sections of this society have been desensitized to the point that human life has no value whatsoever. To that section of the population nothing will hold deterrent value. These people do not think about the consequences of their actions.

Capital punishment is a retributive justice, and no direct correlation to murder rates can be logically applied with respect to the death penalty's deterrent value. Actual statistics about the deterrent value of capital punishment are not available because it is impossible to know who may have been deterred from a committing a crime."

Jim I Slander,Take your meds man, your losing it.

You think providing three hots and a cot is better than eliminating once and for all those who commit heinous crimes against society?

A good liberal like you should be concerned about the general welfare.

Remember the little girl in Florida, Jessica, who was abducted, raped and buried alive by a repeat offending pedophile?

If he had been executed after his first offense she'd be alive today.

Or the two (forgive me) homosexuals in Arkansas who sodomized and killed a ten year old boy then went out for hamburgers.

The news media did their best to play that down lest they offend the "gay" community but it got out via right wing radio.(bless them)

Those animals ought to be emasculated with pruning shears and left to bleed to death at the landfill.

You liberals with your permissive attitudes make me sick.

CJ2NC - ignore jimboThebozo, he has no clue about justice and he would be cheering this execution if the criminal was white. Also, he has stated many times in other posts that he doesnt believe in God.

Good bye Mr Gardner, I hope you had the chance to make peace with your Creator, you sure didnt give Melissa, a chance. - "Gardner shot her twice in the face after she freed herself from the handcuffs and tried to escape. He then shot her three more times and left her to die along the side of a road in Summerville." -

Liberalism - a mental disorder.

native2ny - dont waste your time, they are both trolls trying to stir up crap. They have no idea what they believe, no core values. No idea about justice. They just toss around BS slogans and try to feel good about their pathetic lives.

For example; AbolishDeathPenalty, joined today. I say, abolish_the_libs!

AbolishDeathPenalty - do you support abortion on demand? Partial-birth abortion? Useful idiot, that is all you are.

LMAO, I love how the leftist hate Rush Limbaugh. There is no liberal talk radio, and the left hate it because Rush is so popular and it just eats at them.

It is so simple, if enough people wanted to hear the leftist crap on the radio, than there would be sponsers to support crap like Air America, but no, the left are so bankrupt of ideas that they have to resort to such small-minded tactics, as name calling.

The liberals can not compete in the arena of ideas, all they can do is resort to name calling, like the idiot bully on a play ground.

Liberals creat and reinforce perceptions of victimization;
satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation;

augmenting primitive feelings of envy;

rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.

"The roots of liberalism and its associated madness can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind," he says. "When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious." Dr. Rossiter

-----When the Gallup pollsters asked Americans what they thought about their own mental health, they were intrigued by the difference between Democrats and Republicans.

While 58 percent of Republicans reported having excellent mental health, only 38 percent of Democrats described themselves that way.

---------
What Rush has to do with this story is beyond me. But as usual, the left have no valid comments are arguements, so they just spew venom. Rush is RIGHT and the left are lunatics - A lunatic (colloquially: "looney" or "loon") is a commonly used term for a person who is mentally ill, dangerous, foolish or unpredictable: a condition once called lunacy.

Now, as to the article;

Following is Gardner's statement:

"I would like to apologize to the family and loved ones of Melissa McLauchlin for taking her from them and causing them so much pain. I was 22 years old then, and I am 38 now. While I have always been sorry for what I did, the passage of time has allowed me to mature, reflect and experience spiritual growth in ways that were foreign to me as a young man. I have repented for what I have done, and I am very grateful to the many people who have prayed with me and for me over the years and in my final days. I deeply regret that my actions deprived Ms. McLauchlin of the chance to marry, have children and experience life with God. I have spent years praying for her, and I encourage all people of faith to do the same."

Hey, "simple", FYI "Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot", is the name of a BOOK written by Al Franken. If you were really the well read super intellectual, one would think you would have caught the reference. Instead you took it seriously to the point of mania. Get over yourself already.
