> But, if it makes you happy, then continue to think that you could NEVER kill anyone, and you’re totally different from monsters such as McVeigh… despite the fact that you’d pay money to brutally torture someone.

For the record, I would not pay money to see anyone brutally tortured, let alone put to sleep with a lethal injection. Although I think the court system acted correctly in the execution of McVeigh, I derived absolutely no glee in his death. If anything, I felt somber and sad that things have to be the way they are.

Again, don’t be making any assumptions about who I, or anyone else here resembles. Not even in the slightest degree. You feel that you have it in you to feel same type of hate and evilness as McVeigh but are able make the correct choice in how you display it, then fine, state your similarities.

I just ask that you take the turd from your pocket.

Fine, I’ll replace that “turd in my pocket” with the three anonymous posters I mentioned earlier, **Vinnie** , Vinnie’s baseball bat, and the scads of other people I’ve seen say, “Burn in hell, McVeigh, you got off too easily, you fuckdrop.”

:rolleyes:

**quixotic78** , the guy did get off easy. The pain he caused will live on for many years.

But these ‘monsterous’ statements you speak of are merely frustrated expressions of anquish and anger. The result of shock and outrage and the powerlessness to do anything about it. I doubt _any_ of the posters would actually be able to follow through on these statements.

Then I would suggest therapy.
