store cashier murdered for not having enough money in register

Anthony Bernard Hampton, 18, and his nephew, Wayne Hampton, 22, both of Dallas, were picked up on murder charges, and both of them gave written confessions, police said. Bail was set at $200,000 for each of them.

Pete Shrum was shot three times at point-blank range late Saturday at a Diamond Shamrock gas station in Mesquite, a Dallas suburb. A store security camera captured the shooting, which TV stations aired Monday.

Anthony Hampton confessed to shooting :marseymagdump: Shrum ''because there was so little money in the cash drawer :sad2:, and Mr. Shrum had seen his face,'' said Officer Melvin Willis.

They should both be incinerated

It's a case like this where I'd like to ask people who are against the death penalty: "Please explain to me why these two should continue to live - and WE have to pay for their food and to take care of them."

I'm against the death penalty because not every case is as clear cut as this

Yes. Many cases are very murky - and witness ID is terribly flawed - especially cross culturally.

It really is true that "they all look alike."

Even AI powered suspect recognition software does a shitty job with black people (although maybe it's getting better than it was)

Yes, it seems we're much better identifying people with similar melanin content. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-race_effect

God that is a great point. They don't fucking deserve it. You're so right.

Why bother to rehabilitate pieces of human shit like these two?

We are facing overpopulation, starvation and homelessness, time to start getting rid of this kind of trash.

They should be publicly maimed & executed.

Ironically enough my opinion might be funny saying this here on WPD but I don't agree it should be public. I don't think it's good for normal people to see that. It normalizes violence. I hate lynch mob scenes where there are kids and random citizens. I think whoever is affected should be invited to watch it they want though.

Public doesn't mean viewable from any position or place. I will designate cordoned sections specifically purposed for this task, along with caning stages. It does not mean random passersby will be able to see an execution as they walk home from the grocery with their children.

It will be public, because anyone and everyone will have access (bar minors) to the location.

I don't like lynchings either. Largely in that anyone can freely participate, and it provides an outlet for particularly demented individuals to appease their own sadism. (I'm sure many have noticed this in some of the videos on WPD.)

But a public execution isn't a lynching, as there is still an organized, lawful proceeding. It's not just a mob of angry hams taking to the streets.

Ahh I see and I agree with that. It's funny how you're manifesting this with your words as something that will actually happen. I wish I had power in the world so I could kill evil people as much as possible.
