No Curtain Call For Abdulhakim Muhammad

You may recall that last week, I wrote about Abdulhakim Muhammad.  I also stated I would follow our hero until he got his much deserved acting award needle.  Well the stage was set, but the show never started.  It seems our tough-talking Jihadi decided he could wait for those 72 virgins after all.  He'll get no show trial from the feds and he won't get the criminal trial from Arkansas that would rendered him to room temperature status long before he was ready.

  He (like most cowards) took the easy way out and copped a plea.  He will now sit in an Arkansas prison for the rest of his inglorious life for the killing of US Army Private William Long.    Quinton Ezeagwula was wounded by Muhammed in the same attack.

From Fox News:

Abdulhakim Muhammad pleaded guilty in the middle of his trial to capital murder and attempted capital murder charges. Pulaski County Judge Herbert Wright then sentenced Muhammad to life in prison without parole for capital murder, with 11 more life sentences for the remaining charges against him plus an additional 180 years in prison.

He'll never see another day outside of prison.  It's unfortunate that we will be feeding and caring for this piece of crap for the rest of his days, but according to the story, he cannot get the death sentence by pleading guilty. He must have a trial.

So the curtain closes.  Abdulhakim goes to prison and justice is not served.

The Stage Is Set For Abdulhakim Muhammad

Most of us have probably forgotten about Abdulhakim Muhammad.  He is the walking, talking, steaming pile that opened fire on a Little Rock, Arkansas Army recruiting station two years ago.  He killed one young soldier and wounded another.  This was his own personal declaration of war against the United States.  He is about to go on trial for his heinous and hateful act.

And that is his problem, it seems.  He doesn't like the venue.

He complained he's being treated like a common criminal, with a state trial on a capital murder charge. There will be no grand stage for his political beliefs, and if convicted by the state rather than the federal government, he faces a much greater chance of execution.

The U.S. has put three people to death since the federal death penalty was reinstated in 1988. Arkansas executed 27 people in that time.

Arkansas got permission from the feds to try him in the state's court for capital rather than let him have a federal trial.  It's not exactly the stage he was hoping to give his command performance.

"This case should be in federal or military court..." Muhammad, 26, objected in a letter to Circuit Judge Herbert Wright in May. "In my eyes it's a sham trial set up only to make sure I'm handed down a death sentence."

I don't know that it will be a sham trial.  I'm pretty sure that he will make sure they cross every "t" and dot every "i".  I imagine there will be a slew of defense attorneys making sure he gets a fair trial.

What Arkansas did was take away his stage.  Instead of a show trial about Islam and American foreign policy, the state made it about murder.

"He wants to be perceived as a sort of foot soldier in this revolution against the United States," said John DiPippa, law school dean for the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. "Trying him on the base crime of murder, you're depriving him of even that recognition."

It's over Shakespeare.  The curtain is calling.  With any luck, you'll have a needle in your arm in a relatively short while.

In the end, that's all he is.  Just another small time thug committing a murder that's about to face the music and the band is playing a funeral dirge.

It always makes me shake my head when scumbags like these, who hate our way of life and work toward its destruction, demand every right under the very Constitution they denounce.

I'll be following his trial and subsequent appeals.

Justice Awaits Cal Coburn Brown - AGAIN!

Back last March of 2009, Cal Coburn Brown was scheduled to meet his fate and his Maker on Friday the thirteenth.  He dodged the bullet, so to speak, with a last minute appeal that the States method of administering justice via a needle was cruel and unusual.  Hopefully, they have fixed that little problem.

Brown tortured, raped and kiolled a young woman. There is no doubt as to his innocence.  Brown admits that he did it...even to testing out his torture methods on himself to make sure they hurt.

Well, he's scheduled to die again this Friday.  Walla Walla is making preparations once more to send him off to that never-eneding dirt knap.

I sure hope it happens this time. I'll feel better when he's looking at the grass from the root side.

Abdulhakim Muhammad Deserves Death

Two of America's finest were gunned down in cold blood by a man not fit to lick dog excrement off of their boots.  Abdulhakim Muhammad killed William Long and wounded Quinton Ezeagwula because he was "mad at the US Military because of what they had done to Muslims in the past."

I'm not trying to excuse this slimebag's action one iota, but I can't help but think he was played.  I'm certain that his head was filled with all kinds of hate and crap by some nut job Jihadis and when he returned, he acted out of conditioning..  Who knows?

I hope this guy gets the needle and becomes an example to any other would be instant Jihadis out there contemplating some sort of stupidity.

My prayers and condolences to the Long family and my prayers for a speedy recovery for Private Ezeagwula and comfort for his family.

She Was An 87-Year-Old Lady

Seventeen-year-old Daniel Mustard is behind bars tonight.  He's accused of killing an 87-year-old woman during a robbery in her home. 

From KOMO TV NEWS:

The woman's body was found by her elderly husband when he returned home from the hospital Sunday afternoon. Prosecutors allege Mustard stabbed Andrews in the bathroom, then stole money, Andrews' wedding ring, money from a picture frame, a revolver, and left in the couple's Cadillac.

Later, Mustard bragged about the killing to friends and showed them pictures of the woman's body taken with his cell phone.  When asked what he would do if he got caught, his answer was to joke:

 "How bad could it be, she was an 87-year-old lady?"

How bad could it be, indeed.  Unfortunately, young Mr. Mus-turd will presumably have a long time to answer that question as a guest of the state penal system for the rest of his natural life unless he gets off on some technicality (which is not beyond a reasonable possibility).

His loving mother is already trying to get him off the hook:

Mustard's mother told detectives shortly after the arrest that her son has a history of mental health issues and was schizophrenic from drug use.

She says he stopped taking his medication, and deputies were called to their house on March 25 to reports he was wielding a knife and making threatening gestures. Police say they were able to calm him down and he was taken to the hospital for a mental evaluation. He was later released by the charge nurse.

No, drugs might make him edgy and a bit paranoid, but not Schizo.  No, this is a kid who killed and robbed because he could and he did so for the thrill of it.  He is a parasite on civilized society's ass and deserves to be treated as such.  Unfortunately, because of this little turd's age, he will likely only face life without parole.

This kid should get the death penalty precisely to show others that there are serious consequences for taking a life so coldly and callously - especially if the victim is 87-years-old.

Justice Awaits Cal Coburn Brown

Cal Coburn Brown is a monster.  He rapes, tortures and kills for pleasure.  He's scheduled to die this Friday down in Walla Walla.

From KOMO-TV News:

Arrested in Palm Springs, Calif. for an attack on a woman at a hotel, Brown answered with explicit details about how he had tortured and murdered Holly Washa in the Seattle suburbs just days earlier. The 22-year-old Burien woman's body was found in the trunk of her car.

He used an extension cord plugged into a wall socket to shock and torture her.

From the Seattle P-I:

Brown told detectives later, however, that he raped Washa with a bottle of after-shave lotion and used an extension cord with the wires exposed to shock her.

``I tested it on myself. I know it causes pain. . . . I had to know exactly how good this stuff was," he said.

You don't get much more depraved than that.  If you have any doubts as to whether there is evil in this world, this guy should put them to rest.

The problem is that there are a number of folks around here that think this guy should be spared.  Of course they spout the usual arguments about a citizen being killed by the citizenry and how killing him won't bring back his victim.  They also say he is bi-polar and was off his meds.

That's reason to spare him?  Sorry, but this piece of dried cat vomit has wasted oxygen for way too long and the executioner's needle is far too gentle a death for him.

With any luck, he'll be meeting his maker by the end of the week.  He'll receive the justice so long denied him by sympathetic lawyers and judges.

Robert Lee Yates

I'm giving politics a break tonight.

Robert Lee Yates is a serial killer.  He was convicted of killing 15 women, mostly in the Spokane area.  Mr. Yates pleaded guilty in Spokane in 2000 and was given 408 years for his plea avoiding the death penalty.  Two of those women were killed in Pierce County near Tacoma.  Pierce County did not agree to the plea deal and held out to try him and ask for the death penalty.

Two years later, after much legal wrangling (Check it out for yourself!), Mr. Yates was convicted of aggravated First Degree Murder and was sentenced to die.  Well the case has dragged on for the last six years.  His case has been all the way up the court system and back again and a death warrant was signed last week assigning September 19th, 2008 as the day he shall meet his Maker. 

Of course our boy has filed for a stay.  Here are his reasons.

1.  Ineffective Counsel.

And if it's true, disbar the attorneys if they are that stupid!  It's probably not true and it will get thrown out.

2.  Lethal injection is cruel and unusual

Yawn!  I think this one's been settled more than once now.

These are standard excuses and they will be played out for another five or six years.  In my opinion lethal injection isn't anywhere near cruel or unusual enough!

This guy has had his day in court and there is no question as to his guilt or innocence.  Unfortunately for us, this piece of dried buzzard vomit will probably die of natural causes before they get around to actually placing a needle in his arm.

Years ago, I had someone try and tell me that killers should be left alive so they can contemplate what put them in jail for the rest of their lives.

There are two things wrong with that kind of thinking.

First, if he is sentenced to life without parole, you cannot guarantee to me that he will never walk out of a prison in some form or fashion.  He might escape, some idiotic legislature could change the laws or some governor could either commute his sentence or out right pardon him.  I realize the chance of any of that happening is really slim, but you can't say with 100% surety that they won't.

Second is the fact that they really don't want to die.  Their kills are trophies.  These people are sociopaths.  They have no remorse or conscience.  They might have to spend a life in prison, but they are famous!  Books will be written, people will know who they are!  These people do not want to die!  Life imprisonment is not some kind of mental hell for these guys.  They LIKE thinking about their victims and long for more!!!

Yates will die in prison if he doesn't get lucky in some way and get out.  When he dies, it will probably be of natural causes or another prisoner might wax him, but it won't be the state's needle.

If he does die from lethal injection, it will surprise the daylights out of me!

An Open Letter To Mexico And The World Court

From Fox News:

THE HAGUE, Netherlands —  The U.N.'s highest court ordered U.S. authorities on Wednesday to do everything possible to halt the executions of five Mexicans in Texas until their cases are reviewed.

An open letter to Mexico and the World Court:

Hola and Howdy! Just a quick note to tell you to both butt out!  We figured out we couldn't get a fair hearing from the World Court a long time ago.  Aside from the fact that you folks hate us and will decide against us every time, we have veto power!  As permanent members of the Security Council, we can veto your decision anyway.

Our Supreme Court (The one in our Constitution) says what you say about our laws and our justice system are irrelevant.  This is not an international dispute.  Some subhuman monsters came up here from Mexico and on our turf, committed horrific rapes and murders.

I realize that most nations in the world operate from the top down and in truth, many here in America would like us to be that way.  Our system is designed to work the other way.  It's called we the people and those folks up there in DC are supposed to work for us, not you.

In other words, If you tell our President to do something, it don't mean squat.  We can ignore him.  He doesn't have the authority to demand anything from a state court and if he does, that state court just might tell him to go pound a little sand up his wazoo.  Which is what happened in 2004:

The World Court has no enforcement powers but President Bush issued a directive to the Texas courts to abide by the 2004 ruling. The state courts refused to review the cases and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in March that the president cannot compel the state courts to comply.

It's settled law.  The SCOTUS has spoken and that's the law of our land. 

So go pound a little sand up your own Wazoo and let us take care of the trash shipped up here from Mexico. 

Oh and to our neighbors  to the south, if you quit crappin in our yard, we won't need to bury those steaming piles.

Warmest Regards,

His Last Meal And Testament

Philip Workman was convicted of shooting a cop in a robbery gone bad back in 1981 in Tennessee.  Even though his case meandered through a myriad of appeals and they all found him guilty or that proper procedures had been complied with, Mr. Workman maintained it was not his gun that felled the cop, but the bullet from another cop's gun.  Philip Workman's appeals were finally exhausted and on Wednesday, May 9th, Mr. Workman succumbed to the executioner's needle. 

Death row prisoners are usually given an opportunity to enjoy a final meal of their choosing (within reason and usually limited to what the Prison has on hand).  Last meals range from the sumptuous to the ordinary.   Some order steak with all the trimmings, some have a simple sandwich and others choose nothing at all. Most of them tend to be quite unhealthy.  Fried Chicken, double and triple cheeseburgers, fries, and various cakes and ice cream flavors, all washed down with Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper or Pepsi make up a lot of requests.

The last meal for the condemned is an interesting tradition.  Some point to the Last Supper of Christ, some point beyond that to the Greeks.  In any case, it seems appropriate that we grant them this last small boon.  It's ironic in that those who are to meet the needle or the noose weren't too concerned about the last culinary cravings of their victims.

Back to Mr. Workman.

Philip Workman also had a request for a last meal, but it was not for him.  He requested that a large vegetarian pizza be made and delivered to a homeless person after his demise.

According to the story, the prison was unable to make good with the request because of legal constraints so some good Samaritans stepped in to fill the void.

But news accounts of his request touched a nerve with the public.

Nashville's Union Rescue Mission received 170 pizzas. Media reports said listeners to a radio station in Minnesota also ordered pizzas sent to another organization for troubled youngsters.

What an interesting choice for Mr. Workman.  It was his request to make and that is what he chose.  It was nice of him to offer pizza from the states pantry to be given to some anonymous homeless person.  I suppose it was his way of trying to make some small amends and making peace with God.
