By now, if you are someone who at least once a day listens to a radio, watches a television, or takes a glance at a computer, you have heard about Juan Manuel Alvarez. You may not herd about his name, but that is the guy who selfishly tried to commit suicide, early Wednesday morning, by parking his jeep in front of an oncoming train, but bailed and left the jeep. He killed 11 people with that stupid ass act and injured hundreds more.
I just found onto on the evening news that they will probably seek the death people for this guy. That is so stupid! Why are they going to be seeking the death penalty for a guy who brought this on because he wanted to commit suicide to begin with? The justice system seems to want to use that "punishment" too much; the death penalty is not a punishment. It's wiping your hands clean of the problem. In this guys case, he should rot in prison. He should be able to spend the rest of his life contemplating over what pain his cowardice brought on. He should be able to know that even if he did succeed, the same outcome would have came out of that. Guilt can be a mighty good punishment for someone at times. The justice system needs to start realizing this before trying to get rid of every murderer with their "godly" action and using the death penalty.
I hate the death penalty...Does it show?

I think that the reason most people feel that way is because we have made death far too humane. Lethal injection, while humane, does little to actually make a criminal feel the pain of his victims. I say draw and quarter the Bastich. while he is being painfully pulled apart and bleeding to death, read him the names of his victims. Plus that, in this case in particular, he was trying to commit suicide... why give him what he wants? make him live as long as possible in the living hell that is prison!
just my two cents...
