Interesting that right-wingers who claim Big Gubment can't do anything right are so willing for the government to execute people.

Timmendequas described the scene in his confession to police: “I grabbed her by the back of her pants to pull her back into the room and her pants ripped. I grabbed a belt off the door and threw the belt around her. It ended up around her neck. I twisted my arms and she just fell to the floor. She was just lying on the floor and she was not moving. Blood was coming out of her mouth.”
Once he had raped her, Jesse didn’t want her telling anyone about what had happened, so he decided to kill her. As the little girl struggled, at one point banging her head against a dresser, causing a bloody gash, Timmendequas strangled her. Afraid that drops of her blood would point to him, Timmendequas wrapped her head in a plastic bag. And when he was done, he strangled her with a belt. He stuffed her in a wooden toy chest, and tossed it in the back of his truck. Maybe it was his imagination, but as he drove to a remote, weedy spot in a county park a couple of miles away, Timmendequas later told authorities, he thought he heard the little girl cough. She was certainly dead when he left her in the weeds. But, before he drove off, he sexually assaulted her one more time.

This is the dirtbag who prompted Megan's Law. I am sure you Lefties are proud of his continued existence.
Please do make an argument to the contrary. Any argument. The abject display of stupidity and lack of concern will be interesting to observe....
To bad Megan is no longer alive.
I may only hope that the authorities relase this scum into the general prison population.

I honestly can’t say what my feelings would be if the horrific chain of events that you depict happened to someone whom I adore, like my granddaughter.
But, at the end of it all, and sadly regardless of many important to take into consideration issues, human beings cannot lose their humanity—or they get lost in the shuffle; rational beings have the obligation to use rationality in order to be called such; and, perhaps more importantly, to become that which we abhor most (criminals?) does little for anyone.
Believe you me, other countries also hate having criminals in their midst and deal with them to the best of their abilities, but I believe that at some point there came the realization that killing these criminals didn’t stop the killings, it only made those who pulled the switch become alike. A fate that, ultimately, rob them of their rational obligations and their humanity, and don’t you think that this is just too high a price to pay for, precisely, the criminals in their midst?

Proud to be from New Jersey right now. Earlier this month my state repealed the barbaric practice. In a NY Times article, Gov. Corzine said, “I believe society first must determine if its endorsement of violence begets violence, and if violence undermines our commitment to the sanctity of life. To these questions, I answer yes.”
