Allowing Ronald Fred Gregory to live is cruel and unusual

Ronald Gregory let his granddaughter
die in excruciating pain, after he shot her. He
got a "life" sentence, not the death penalty.  

If you cannot muster the strength to put Ronald Fred Gregory to death, there is no reason to have capital punishment on the books. 

Executing Gregory is the moral and just thing to do.

Gregory shot and killed Mia Rodgers, his nine-year-old granddaughter. 

The girl asked: “Paw paw, when am I going to stop hurting?” before she died. Gregory would not call an ambulance when Mia asked him when the hurt would stop. He just lay there in the bed. The 75-pound, third grader, bled for more than an hour before she died.

Gregory, 68, also killed invalid wife.

The York County murder of the little girl and her grandmother took place in March.

Too often we are preached to about "cruel and unusual" punishment, by death penalty opponents. 

Prosecutors did not seek the death penalty for Gregory. They were afraid of all the appeals Gregory would file.  Gregory entered a plea of mentally ill, and was sentenced to life.

With the details of murders becoming more and more heinous, and involving children more often, fewer killers are being punished to the full extent of the law.

If EVER a man should be executed, it is Ronald Gregory.

Swift and harsh execution, with no remorse from the state, will send a message to murderers. As it is, there are too many chances for life, after brutal acts by animals, like Gregory. 

Potential killers get the message that the law will be easier on them, than they are on their victims. 

It is immoral to NOT execute Gregory. It is the only thing close to justice.

Allowing him his life, after he took this little girl's life, and his wife's, is not humane.
