Does Virginia have the death penalty? I might get some flack for this from any anti-death penalty advocates who may lurk this board, but this is quite possibly a good candidate for the needle or the chair.

May I suggest a method culturaly acceptable everywhere in the world but USA and France? PUBLIC LYNCHING OR FIRING SQUAD. I don't care who gets offended!

There is no capital punishment anywhere in Canada.

Apparently studies showed that it did not deter murders, it is simply revenge. I say, what's wrong with revenge?

I really hope there's no anti-death penalty nutjobs running around here...

Get him off my street first. Worry about what to do with the guy later.

Has this idiot been captured? I'm kinda burned out on the media in my inbox off this .....

My only beef with the death penalty is, thanks to all the frivolous appeals, it takes too long and in the process costs taxpayers to much.

Guard Recalled as Kind and Selfless at Funeral Service

Richmond Times-Dispatch:
An article described the funeral of Derrick McFarland.
"Hours after uniformed police from many jurisdictions attended the funeral for Montgomery County Sheriff's Cpl. Eric E. Sutphin, hundreds joined friends and family of McFarland for a memorial service.

Family, close friends and dignitaries sat inside the small chapel of Horne Funeral Service while many more crowded an adjacent space -- packed to standing-room-only -- to watch on closed-circuit television."

The governor also spoke and had these things to say:
'Gov. Timothy M. Kaine noted how the similarities between McFarland and Sutphin -- as community servants, husbands and family men -- brought the locals together in a mysterious way to celebrate their lives.

And while most people don't do enough to thank police officers, McFarland went much further than that, Kaine said...

..."Derrick went far beyond 'thank you,'" Kaine said. "He didn't think about himself, he rushed to do what he could."'
