Hello, Mike Ruane here to talk about the DC sniper case and answer your questions.

[ScottinVA]

Kill people in Virginia? Then, we’ll kill ya back! Good riddance to a piece of subhuman trash. Burn in hell Muhammad.

[RexBeach]

What does he get injected with at 9 PM?

[wmileo]

I assume it is over by now and there was no stay of execution by the ONE!

[Chickensoup]

Think he’ll get a governor’s stay or a presidential pardon?

[babygene]

“there was no stay of execution by the ONE! “

That, in it’s self, is surprising....

[daniel boob]

Although I now live in Texas, I lived in Vienna, VA during this lunatics shooting spree. I will admit that we changed our way of doing things and did not stay out in the open (especially at Home Depot) for very long.

This will be a good day come 9PM.

[wmileo]

Sorry. It is 9:00 PM. So his holiness the ONE still has time to save the Po’ MoFo.

[mckenzie7]

I believe it is to happen at 9:pm in Virginia

From wikipedia

Typically, three drugs are used in lethal injections. Sodium thiopental is used to induce unconsciousness, Pancuronium bromide to cause muscle paralysis and respiratory arrest, and Potassium chloride to stop the heart.

[tatsinfla]

it happens tonite and the s.c. turned down his stay request the other day....

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Antifreeze.

[albie]

“Think he’ll get a governor’s stay or a presidential pardon”?

...with commie Kaine still the Gov it’s a possiblity.

[mckenzie7]

Think he’ll get a governor’s stay or a presidential pardon?

No

[sniper63]

"What does he get injected with at 9 PM?"

Hope it is/was a mixture of pigs blood and cyanide....

[tioga]

theOne has NO say in this execution...states do still have some rights.

[Bigg Red]

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

[The Great RJ]

I am sure Satan is stoking the fires and will be waiting for his soul.

[True Republican Patriot]

What do You wanta bet that OBOZO stays the Execution under some Trumped Up Charge??

[mckenzie7]

Thanks for the information as to the contents of the lethal injection.

What I had read is only that it would be painless.

[theDentist]

At 8:30 they’re going to provide him an H1N1 shot, just in case.

[appalachian_dweller]

I was working in Reston, VA at the time. EVERYONE was terrified. I toyed with the idea of keeping my Remington .270 in my car but thought that the cops would mistake me for the sniper. That idiot Chief Moose telling the publik that is HAD to be a couple of white guys.

I didn't change my routine, but was way more aware of what was happening around me.

Guess I'll have to do my happy dance once the vermin is dead. (My apologies to vermin everywhere.)

[Radl]

Does he get one to prevent him from feeling the pain of the needles or does the Sodium thiopental do that? God forbid he suffer such terrible treatment.

[cweese]

They should perform the procedure without the sodium thiopental.

[TomGuy]

Extended description of the VA procedure is in this thread:

Is John Muhammad Still Breathing?, post #53.

[massgopguy]

Eric Holder will find some Civil Rights angle.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

One of the oft-asked questions is do they wipe the arm down with alcohol before starting the IV’s - God forbid he should get an infection - I’ve never seen this definitively answered but I’d have to say I’d be surprised if this were not done. I have heard of cases where finding a vein was next to impossible. I’d be glad to stick the drugs under the xiphoid process directly into the heart if called upon to do so - would require a fairly long needle though - on the order of 5 or 6 inches would do the trick I think. Would want to draw back on the syringe first to make sure one was in a cardiac chamber.

[stuartcr]

Neither

[stuartcr]

Kaine has only commuted 1 of 8 or 9 executions since his election.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Michael Ruane: Folks: We have just learned that the Supreme Court has denied Muhammad's request to stay his execution, which appears to clear the way for his death by lethal injection Tuesday night.

Vienna, Va.: So the Supreme Court has denied the stay, so that leaves only Kaine as the only option for Mohammad. Although he has said previously he could not see a way he would grant a stay, has he said so definitively?
Michael Ruane: I am not sure, but I am told that his intervention is unlikely.

[US_MilitaryRules]

Getting rid of another POS muslim!!!!!!!!

[stuartcr]

His mind will still be in major fear and pain...

[xjcsa]

Think he’ll get a governor’s stay or a presidential pardon?

Nope. A presidential pardon is impossible, since he's convicted of a state crime.

[La Lydia]

Idiots on parade:

I'm not pro-death penalty, but having lived through the fear I don't think I'll protest this one.

[CrazyIvan]

I know that this is splitting hairs, but it hacks me off
when someone like this is called a “sniper”. He was just
a whacko with a rifle.

[SkyDancer]

It’d be nice to put all that stuff in a bullet and shoot him with it ....

[Cailleach]

I didn’t live here then (I was actually living with my parents in the Raleigh area, hubby is and was active duty army, and he was in the process of moving to Germany...we didn’t get to follow until Jan). Hubby was at Ft Lee (he flew out to Germany 2 days before the snipers were caught). However, I live here now (in Prince William Co). Our next door neighbor lived here then...she is a single mom, she drove out towards Front Royal to get out of the city-ish areas to get gas. Her son, who was then about 10, was not allowed outside to play. My heart breaks for the loss of his childhood innocence.

I heard that the loons who believe he should be allowed to live out his natural life are out...I must assume that they either didn’t live here back then, or they truly are loons...
no disrespect is intended to the feathery loons. :)

[daniel boob]

I forgot about Chief Moose and his comments. What an imbecile.

[catman67]

Don’t know that he’s eligible for a presidential pardon. It was a state crime.

[MinuteGal]

Bury this sack in ole Virginny......tra la la......

Leni

[The Citizen Soldier]

What does he get injected with at 9 PM?

I believe he should be released with much fanfare and shot with lethal dose of chemicals by a sniper hiding in the trunk of a car, at no particular announced time.

[ArrogantBustard]

I understand that lead injection is usually fatal, if administered intracranially, at a velocity in excess of 850 f/s.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Well yeah, that would also work.

[ArrogantBustard]

We should have tarred and feathered Moose.

[Chickensoup]

Just A THOUGHT

[RichInOC]

Pentothal, then muscle relaxant, then potassium chloride. And then shortly after that he gets injected with Gulbuth the Rampant.

[krogers58]

One of the dirtiest little secrets about executions in many states is that these animals are given tranquilizers and sedatives on the day of their executions. The justification is that it is better for the guards, in that they don’t have to drag a hysterical inmate into the chamber.

[TomGuy]

FoxNews Alert!

VA Gov declines Muhammad’s appeal. Execution moves forward.

[fortheDeclaration]

DC sniper case

That should read, the MUSLIM DC sniper case.
