If...(and this isn't such a BIG 'If' since forensic labs have apparently determined that the rifle seized from the DC sniping suspects' car is the murder weapon)...if, indeed, the presently-apprehended suspects are found guilty (with a trial commencing upon 11/9--the inverse of 9/11--and lasting, barring surprises, no longer than a few months), then I now scream for the death penalty for both of those bastards with execution by the very same life-defiling rifle they were using to snuff the rest of us.
One bullet each. .223. To the forehead. From 300 yards.
But I would not want to forever torment a conscience-ridden government marksman with this executionary rite. So instead, I'd mandate that the first execution consist of a single, deadly, unerringingly-targeted bullet squeezed off by the robotically-controlled trigger finger of one of the two (probable) murderous convicts themselves.
I really don't give a fuck which one goes first.
Imagine...a totally muscle- and reflex-controlling robot that would strap down one of these two condemned men with the utmost unflinchingly exactness and precison. Forcing, with cold, unyielding, steel restraining clamps, his involuntary ocular vision to look down the rifle's sites. Forcing, by an irrepressible time-released spring, the previously well-practiced murderer's trigger finger to squeeze off just one more round...*splat* : a perfectly flat penetration, one-inch centered between and above the eyes of the other hellbent co-conspirator...thereafter no longer alive.
Then imagine exchanging roles, with the yet blood-oozing deceased one's hot corpse strapped into this precisionally-programmed executionary machine. Forcing his lifeless finger now onto the trigger that just snuffed him. Having his glazed-over targeting eye now directed in a forced stare: blankly, murkily down the sites of the murder weapon. And having the directive robotic exoskeleton execute, without discrimination upon demand, another spring-triggered, finger-accompanied *splat* to the cross-haired forehead of this other lingering, condemned, heretofore-living terrorist who was once his co-conspirator's most trusted buddy but, now in death, is both his co-murderer's proxy-executioner and proxy-executioned.
Just imagine...such a media-hyped 'If'...
But, instead, purge yourself of all the hate. Breathe deeply. Hold and hug someone you love. And live and let go of the darkness.
