Yea, let's take a mass murderer on death row and release him to everyday society. That's a fantastic idea!!!

If some poor guy has to be put to death 'on the spot' I hope he's not sitting next to me at the movie theater when he's located...

Oh, Anna, what an obedient little liberal you are... "still someone's child or parent" eh? This concerns you, does it? And who were their victims? Were they hatched? It always amazes and saddens me to see the liberal concern for criminals' welfare while totally forgetting, or more likely ignoring, the victims. Those who obey the law should live as free men and women, those who take the property of others should live as property of their victim; collared, tracked and put to death on the spot if not where they are supposed to be and those who take the life of another unjustly should die in kind... it would all be so much simpler that way. Oh, and as for the "The death penalty is not a deterent" crowd... No ciminal put to death has ever committed another crime. That's a pretty good deterent...

Maybe if individuals were not allowed to bond out so easily, fewer crimes and murders would be committed. Most of these crimes are committed by repeat offenders. While the families are left to clean up their messes, they are going free. I agree with Brad--inject them and be done with them.

Yea, that's what democrats do is whine...got cheese? You sure can't miss that Mr. Shumaker is a democrat...it's posted all over his truck.....
Posted by: Fred Location: North End on Aug 20, 2008 at 03:27 AM
Goodness, what a rant. I hereby request that Neil Shumaker be be permitted to represent intelligent people everywhere by being allowed equal time to comment on the sign each week. A televised debate would be great!

I don't care what he puts on his sign. I don't understand why you keep giving him free publicity. Can anyone get free advertising form you by putting up a sign?

Whitney- I agree eye for an eye. Anna- he's not making fun, its the truth.

WTAP really seems to push the envelope on freedom of speech. And yes they are one sided. Their side.
Posted by: Whitney Location: Parkersburg on Aug 19, 2008 at 09:14 AM
Anna - There are absolute ways to determine guilty from innocent...ever heard of DNA, forensic evidence, fingerprints. I absolutely agree with Mark's solution. I believe if you intentionally take a life yours should be taken the same way..eye for an eye..tooth for a tooth.

I see you didn't post my first comment,then I remembered WTAP is a republican station so it's not going to print something bad about a republican.But you let this MORON speak about giving a lethal injection and breaking and entering in the same breath and yet your not letting someone like me get on your air waves and put him in his place.Neil Shumaker
Posted by: anna Location: parkersburg on Aug 19, 2008 at 08:29 AM
To make fun of something as serious as lethal injection is beyond poor taste. Remember, there is no absolute way to accurately determine the guilty from the innocent. Besides, the people put to death by our legal systemm are still someone's child or parent. Brad, that is tacky, tacky, tacky.
Posted by: Neil Shumaker Location: Vincent,Ohio on Aug 19, 2008 at 06:25 AM
I missed his comments this morning, was he talking about this administration and I thought he was a Republican. Way to go, Brad.
Posted by: Martha Location: Parkersburg on Aug 19, 2008 at 05:51 AM
I totally agree that criminals going virtually unpunished, particularly juveniles, is a major problem. The abolition of the death penalty in WV since 1965 - for even the most heinous of crimes - coupled with plea bargaining and bleeding hearts' concern for the "rights" of criminals has shown lawbreakers they have virtually nothing to fear. Persons who feel they have a right to take what others earn by hard work should be punished not by a "slap on the wrist" but by working off their debts to their victims. Also, children who misbehave in school should know that their parents will support the administration rather than rushing to school to tell them that they cannot discipline their child - the point where much of the lawlessness begins.

I totally agree with Brad on this one. If we keep giving these young people "another shot" and another and another..we are teaching them nothing! If U.S. was more strict in their penalties of crimes, the crime rate would defenitely lower. I am from a small town in southern WV, where drugs and alcohol are a big problem. The criminals dont care to go to jail, because they know daddy will take every last dime he has worked hard for last week, and come bail him out of jail so he can sleep in til noon and play video games on the couch!
Posted by: Mark Location: Parkerburg on Aug 19, 2008 at 05:40 AM
I couldn't agree more. All this waste of resources on comforting and feeding criminals who should be out earning their keep under the watch of guard and gun needs to stop, and those who take the property of another should in turn BECOME that person's property until the value is repaid. As for those who take another's life unjustly, they should die in kind... no "lethal injection" and getting to drift off to sleep. That is the easy way out. If such rules were applied consistently and it was a KNOWN fact that you would suffer the fate of your victim, I'm sure we'd see MUCH less crime of all types.
