Amazing and horrifying that one man can ruin so many lives.
I guess there have been individual men that led to the ruin of millions of lives.
Though not as directly.
What a nightmare and my heart goes out to the victims and their families, along with a bunch of prayers for both.
After the mid-terms, DJT needs to map out a strategy for limiting the appeals and speed up the executions. He can start by signing off on all the death warrants in Ft Leavenworth, KS.
Wonder if he was another who was known by the FBI but the feds conveniently/purposefully ignored him.
I have mixed feelings about this. This really should be a state matter, but Gov. Wolf has said he will never sign a death warrant.
Too bad he wasn’t shot 44 times!
The way our courts work Gov. Wolf may be dead of old age by the time signing a death warrant becomes an issue.
Count on it.
Who is this Bowers guy? The Jews are saying that President Trump did all the shooting. Fake Jews?
The complete blackout on any background info on him has me suspect the same.
It is undisputable this guy did it. Why do we need to spend millions of dollars prosecuting him. I say we hang him this Friday.
The way our courts work Governor Wolf will have hit his term limit....besides, Scott Wagner may yet win the Governorship next week.
As new citizen I have 27 years of living experience in America. But I still have hard time get used to this kind of legal stuff under this undisputed circumstance. Just drag the guy to a public area and hang him. Done with it
Don’t waste anyone’s time. I just f$&king hate it.

The FAKE BOMB sender didn't even get indicted yet!! WTF?
You’re exactly the kind of people I want coming here.
