The killer should not live in the United States anymore after one violent crime like this one. I hope he gets captured, convicted, and executed soon.
Whoa relax there
The family deserves justice.
He appears to be a fine, upstanding citizen, with the exception of this departure.
Presume afore comment was dripping in sarcasm. Suspect deserves his day in court and due process; and thus should turn himself in. Failure to do that could cause greater problems that would not serve justice.
Bury him under the jail
I am puzzled here, if the could interview him then how come they don’t have him!!
Due to his absence from the shooting scene to converse with the authorities, apparently he doesn’t want to take responsibility for his actions. Now the hunt is on. He is laying low somewhere sweating like a cornered rat worrying everytime someone knocks or rings at the front door. It will get to the point where hel’,l be careless and spotted by the police and then taken down. Or the guilt of killing this man will get to him that he’ll turn himself in, NOT! But, since he’s already a convicted Felon, it won’t bother him if he goes to prison. Apparently he has been there before. So ad of now, he will be out enjoying his freedom until he’s caught once again.
Just because he’s already a convicted felons, doesn’t mean he’s been to PRISON, you can do county time and be a convicted felon.
