Somebody get him before he goes all Jihad!
What other religion would suit a violent mental case?
Here is a JUGE PONDER:
Has ANYONE ever asked what these evil death cultists “pray” for five times a day?
Well at least the murdering schmuck chose the right religion..he even in his insanity knew that Islam is the religion of murder
Actually, they might. But only the defendant or his lawyers can raise the issue, as a character testimonial. Defendant's counsel could certainly tell the jury "he prays five times a day."
Whether or not the jurors in Colorado would be permitted to consider it as anything other than a purely positive character issue having nothing to do with a specific religion per se is highly unlikely.
Don't know about the wording of CO law, but it is expressly forbidden in Federal death penalty cases under the US Code https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/3593
In particular:
(f) Special Precaution To Ensure Against Discrimination.— In a hearing held before a jury, the court, prior to the return of a finding under subsection (e), shall instruct the jury that, in considering whether a sentence of death is justified, it shall not consider the race, color, religious beliefs, national origin, or sex of the defendant or of any victim and that the jury is not to recommend a sentence of death unless it has concluded that it would recommend a sentence of death for the crime in question no matter what the race, color, religious beliefs, national origin, or sex of the defendant or of any victim may be. The jury, upon return of a finding under subsection (e), shall also return to the court a certificate, signed by each juror, that consideration of the race, color, religious beliefs, national origin, or sex of the defendant or any victim was not involved in reaching his or her individual decision and that the individual juror would have made the same recommendation regarding a sentence for the crime in question no matter what the race, color, religious beliefs, national origin, or sex of the defendant or any victim may be.
I agree.
The jury didn't believe "the crazy" was anything but an act.
Yeah, the families can rest knowing he will rot in hell.
Robert and Arlene Holmes look as freaky as their Moham-madman son James.
The old adage proves true once more.
Retroactive Jihad?
Makes me wonder; If all the mass-shooters, of recent years, had survived - how many would have come out as Muslims?
Hmmmm?
Cannot wait to hear MSDNC cover this aspect of the story./s
All POS when convicted of murder, should be allowed one year and only two appeals before being exterminated.
Case in point, Manson, is living on our dime and should have been room temperature along time ago. Drug lord Chapa is another example!
That's Good? That's your idea of Good News? That the sinner dies in his sins and is damned?
Your 'god' sounds like a "bad-news god" to me. It's evidently not the one that Ezekiel --- instructed by the Holy Spirit --- talks about when he says:
Ezekiel 18:23Or as Paul said, instructed by Christ:
Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live?Ezekiel 18:32
For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!
1 Tim. 2:4
"God wills that all men be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth."
That’s what I think too. He may have been crazy - it seems that his behavior had been weird for some time - but I wouldnt be surprised to find that he was already a a Muslim. Islam is very attractive to crazy people, if for nothing else than that it gives them a reason to kill and makes them feel justified.
>>That’s Good? That’s your idea of Good News? That the sinner dies in his sins and is damned?
Lighten up. It was comment on how most people like him suddenly find Jesus when their sentencing phase comes up.
Continuing on with your proof text:
5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people.
He chose to start ritually worshiping Satan five times a day. Obviously, God did not choose him to be among the Elect. Or if you choose to believe in free will, then Holmes chose to not have Jesus as his mediator.
Either way, justice is served on earth and in heaven.
Well, isn’t that special?
He (the terrorist) may have been introduced to someone through his training for competition. They may have said, study these Koran verses, and dedicate yourself to Allah if he will help you win the next Championship. A Faustian Pact is reached, in a moment of competitive, superstitious zeal. Lo and behold, he does win the next Championship. The next day, the “training assistant” reconnects, all ready to collect the young man’s soul.
Is his Prayer Rug a Confederate Battle Flag?
Santeria; Caribbean style.
