Massachusetts might not have the death penalty, but the federal government does. Unfortunately, under the current regime, it will never be used. But I totally agree with Howie. Why is it more important to our government to let all kinds of diverse people into our country than it is to exclude people who might be a threat? Why do we continue to take in the dregs of the world, people we know are philosophically inclined to kill Christians, and just swallow it when our government tells us it is good for all of us? It so obviously is not.
The feds were not slow in using the death penalty with McVeigh. We'll see how many decades this muzzie gets to stay alive while appealing his case.
