  • This should have been a few years unfortunately he stole money after the gun was fired several times in the struggle. The clerk dying made the whole thing a much bigger problem. I’ll definitely agree this man should not be on death row. I do think he deserved a stint in prison for robbery, and unfortunately the moment he gained enough control of the weapon to “defend” himself it was now armed robbery that ended in a murder. If he would have left without taking any money this would all be a much different story. He could have plead self defense. The money is what made all the other charges stick.

    Am I not seeing the whole picture? Again, I don’t think he should be executed.




  • No, you’re oversimplifieing it. Everyone sees things getting more expensive yet my paycheque has not budged. We understand inflation. We don’t understand why inflation is simply outpacing raises. I’ve personally lost significant spending power in the last 5 years. In the 90s my mother could buy the same groceries I pay $100 for and only spend $25. She made $14 an hour. I do the same thing she did at that age yet I make $17 an hour. Her mortgage for a 1200sqf house in a half acre was $850. My Rent for a 450sqf apartment with no backdoor is $950. The math does not add up. Wages are not keeping up with inflation.
