I'm still against the death penalty, but these guys make me think it over...



WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – Wilmington Police arrested a sixth person in connection with the murder of a delivery driver in the city last week.

Late Friday afternoon, police said Nathaniel Thomas Lawrence, 16, was charged with conspiracy to commit robbery.

Thursday, Chief Ralph Evangelous announced four men and a juvenile were arrested in connection to the death of Zhen Bo Liu, a Wilmington restaurant delivery man who died on June 14.

"He was brutally murdered for no reason what so ever," Evangelous said. "If you're going to be involved in this type of activity, we're going to hunt you down."

long, miserable lives. (That's why I never wanted Cheney to die from a heart attack -- too easy. I hoped he'd be suffering and afraid every day of the rest of his life.)

won so far, sadly. He still thinks (as far as interviews) everything he did was perfectly OK and he's an exceptionally honorable American.

It was brutal and horrific.

I was emotionally involved which is no reason to support the death penalty.

I would be willing to abolish it, provided it was replaced with Life Without Parole in solitary confinement.
