Yet advocates such as yourself who promote life sentencing over death penalty would be putting these Guards in direct danger and also be responsible being as YOU are the ones who wish it to be so. If you want them to be held for life you must also take responsibility for any actions they take and for those lives lost. It is simple logic. No I am not spinning the same "shit" over and over. I am making comparisons which are completely valid.

By the way, comparing a riot with a bunch of angry skinheads to a war zone, around which any corner there could be a crazed arab with a bomb strapped to his chest might be a little insulting to the soldiers who actually served in real war. I don't have the figures, but I'm willing to bet the guys in Baghdad take a few more casualties than the guys in San Jose. Perhaps you should save your comparisons until you've actually seen a real war.

Angry skinheads. haha... I said they started it I never said they remained invilved once the Riot police showed up--- all 150 of them
What began as a disturbance because of several skinheads flinging steel folding chairs into an audience became a full scale riot out on the streets. Nowhere as severe I grant you as what our soldiers see in Iraq but I was not making that comparison. Wars do not need casualties to exist and be validated fr0g. Though if that is what you want we can start listing police casualties in the line of duty and I can sit here and listen to you repudiate the validity of thier loss in the face of the war on crime. It is your choice if you wish to denounce the facts which surround us every day. Crime exists... read your local paper... and those who fight it every day put themselves at risk. It is a war. Regardless of its volume of loss or whatever other strange twists you wish to put over it to denounce it as such.
The truth is.... the Death Penalty exists in the United States.... and will continue to exist until a better solution is offered to keep cold blooded killers from killing again... whether it be an innocent man/woman they kill or an innocent prison guard just trying to feed his family.
