John Allen Muhammad prepares of meet eternity Date published: 11/10/2009
FOR THREE WEEKS in October of On that date police arrested Muhammad and his teenage accomplice, Lee Malvo, at an interstate rest stop in Maryland. Soon a Prince William County jury handed Muhammad a death sentence for murdering Dean Meyers, a civil engineer from Pennsylvania killed by a rifle round at a Manassas-area gas station. Tonight at 9, Muhammad, The Beltway Sniper, is scheduled to die in the Greensville Correctional Center. Technically, Muhammad will not pay for the nine other murders in his spree, including that of Kenneth Bridges, a businessman killed while gassing up in Massaponax; nor does his sentence officially consider the wounding of Caroline Seawell near the Spotsylvania Mall. But to all his victims, webbed by the special evil of that dark October, will soon accrue a measure of justice. At two crime scenes, the haughty killer left notes inscribed, "Call me God." And for a while, wielding life-and-death power over the unlucky souls who fell into his cross hairs, and forcing thousands to practice the devotionals of evasion, a god of sorts he was. But the law has a place for malignant flea-gods like John Allen Muhammad--he'll see it firsthand tonight--as does He whom the wicked impersonate.
in this country. He will have heat this winter and 3 square meals a day. Should he need dental or medical care, it will be provided. If the liberals would allow the worst of the worst to be executed without all the frivolous appeals, it would be cheaper to execute. The appeals are what eats up our tax dollars.
It is not for us to judge, but to send him to his creator. There, he will have to face his victims with nothing to hide behind. No politicians, no bleeding hearts, no sympathizers to plead his case, just his victims and the truth....he will answer for what he has done and now he is no longer our problem. A lot more like him should follow, more quickly than he. Then some of this will stop.

for anything, unless they repent and turn to Christ. It's not just reprehensible crimes (in our eyes) that get the death sentence (Luke 13:1-5).
health care in a penal institution, I think I might be a bit slower to classify it as first-class. I do know for certain that I do not envy Malvo his free room & board. Even with that, I keep reading it's cheaper to lock him up for life than go through all the hoops to execute him, or am I mistaken? I'd just like to know why Muhammad deserved SO much attention at the end. Wouldn't it be more fitting if no one cared, no attention at all paid, with merely "Muhammad was executed-next story" on 11:00 news?
I am sure he would be forgiven for taking the lives of his
innocent victims, but not for leaving the note to call him god!
