Crane Climber

I am slowly getting disgusted. Listening to Q100, coworkers, and overheard conversations, I have heard too often 'Just shoot him down', 'He deserves to die', 'He's a murderer'. What happened to that all american war chant of the justice system 'Innocent until proven guilty'. Or does it only apply in situations where you haven't been inconvenienced?

I had a two hour commute home from work yesterday due to the Crane Climber. Though I was perturbed, frustrated, in slight pain from fullbladderitis, never once did I think 'They should kill the guy'. What is it with people going down to Buckhead to actually see the spectacle (only a spectacle because of the people going to see it, a Catch 22 of sorts) with hopes of seeing the man jump? What kind of person wants to see another person die? This man for all that he may have allegedly done, is still a son, a brother, and a friend to someone. After all, if we are going to shoot people for alleged crimes, then there are some cops in Gwinnett county that are on tape killing someone and we as taxpayers paid them to do it....let's whip out the pistols!!!!
