The point at which you take a life in cold blood, you lose your right to live.

Many people say that the death penalty is not a deterrent, because people will kill even if it's in place. That is true. People will kill regardless of if they could be killed for it in the end.
But it will keep one person from ever killing again. And save thousands and thousands of the tax-payers dollars.

There is a difference between killing in cold blood (as Vince Weiguang Li did to Tim McLean, as those bored teenagers did one night on a golf course, as people do for the most ridiculous reasons) and killing someone through the death penalty. One is uncaring, with a blatant disregard of human life and the value of a human being. The other is bringing the only measure of true justice that can be granted; your life given to pay for the life/lives that you've taken.

Vince Weiguang Li asked the judge to have him killed. Instead they put him on suicide watch and want to schedule psychological evaluation for him.

He probably is a wannabe Japanese ninja.. whatever, he needs to be be-headed, disemboweled and hung out to dry so the animals can eat him.. ]]> http://www.albertastars.com/member/2259 http://www.albertastars.com/member/2259 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 21:27:04 +0400 BlackCat wrote:
Has anyone noticed how larger than life all murder victims are? I feel sorry for terrible loss of Tim McLean, but I find it laughable how he is portrayed as larger than life, better then Jesus, holier than thou kind of dude. I understand you only speak good of the dead, but man oh man... I'm surprised he wasn't walking around with a halo on his head.

yeah, if you look at his myspace page, he is a typical dumb 22 year old that likes to party hard.. ]]> http://www.albertastars.com/member/2259 http://www.albertastars.com/member/266 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 13:28:19 +0400 http://www.albertastars.com/member/266 http://www.albertastars.com/member/132 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 13:23:41 +0400

It's really mean to make fun of a deceased young man who suffered such terrible death, but I've read some incredibly funny stuff in response to this beheading on the net today. I don't remember where it was posted, but someone said that Vince Weiguang Li must have terribly misunderstood Tim McLean after young man suggested that he would give him head if Vince Weiguang Li would eat him. Such a terrible, mean joke, but so incredibly funny... I think I'm gonna roast in hell for this. Damn.

I'm sure if George Carlin were alive today he'd find something funny as hell to say about it. As he said, everything can be funny, it's all down to the exaggeration of the joke behind it.

And yeah, i'll see you in hell. Make sure you get the beers in will you? ]]> http://www.albertastars.com/member/1498 http://www.albertastars.com/member/4 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:33:57 +0400 http://www.albertastars.com/member/4 http://www.albertastars.com/member/1498 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:20:23 +0400 anamaria wrote:
Maybe the defense can pull the "window seat is more pleasing" excuse. You know, like - "Mr. Vince Weiguang Li just wanted the window seat but Mr. Tim McLean kept ignoring his body language to the point that it was unbearable."

I think the Chewbacca defense might work here. ]]> http://www.albertastars.com/member/1498 http://www.albertastars.com/member/211 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 15:47:28 +0400 http://www.albertastars.com/member/211
