Brandon Rhode was executed tonight. The process was started around 9:15pm and he was pronounced dead at 10:20pm. There were a couple delays tonight but in the end the state of Georgia got their wish.
I have read many comments tonight about Brandon Rhode. “Burn in hell!” “About time!” “Stop wasting the tax payers money!” “Put the next one in the hot seat!”
I wonder if people who say these things realize how barbaric and animalistic they sound when they scream those sorts of things? Not to mention how antiquated their mentality is.
There are third world countries who outlawed the death penalty. So that puts the United States right behind them.
Everyone has a right to their own opinion and I absolutely respect that. What I don’t respect or have patience for is ignorant people.
How much longer will states continue to play God? I was always told that God doesn’t make mistakes. Well if that is true, then why are we executing one of God’s creations? Try asking that question to someone posting “Fry him!” but then will write “God bless” at the end of their post. They will look at you like you are from Mars.
My heart breaks for the Moss family (victims’ family) but my heart is also breaking for the Rhode family. There is a mother in Georgia mourning the death of her son. The son who was once a baby, child, teen. I ask those praising his execution how do you think his mother feels right now?
Why is the answer to painful situation which Brandon created more pain? He is not in pain now but his family is so who are we punishing here? Brandon or his family?
