To be fair, from all of the posts I have read of yours on the boards, you would prefer ALL women to be killed in horrible ways. You seem to live your life by hate. A kind of hate that could possibly turn YOU into a murderer.

White bitch? Plenty of hideous black killers about! Doubt the ones she killed were entirely innocent either. It was witheld from the trial that the first 'victim' (Mallory) had previously received a sentence for rape.

Was anything achieved by her murder? nothing was achieved. the families will have no more comfort if she were dead or alive, thats true and youi know it. so why did she die? why was she murdered by the state?

I agree with you, what did murdering her do for everyone involved? And the certral point that noone seems to be addressing here is WHY WERE THE MEN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?? I watch the women in the documentary talk about the victims and the one is crying about her brother, and then the other one is saying how she hopes Aileen "meets with ole' Sparky" yet neither of them address the fact that what those men were doing was just as sick as what she was doing. And, her upbringing plays a HUGE role in how, and why, she did what she did. It in no way excuses her, plenty of people grow up in horrible situations and don't do what she did, but it needs to be taken into consideration. If you really want to be vengeful, anyway, giving her life imprisionment would've been the thing to do, since she made it clear herself how badly she wanted to die. I think she should've been given treatment, and studied, as hasb68 been suggested, and honestly I really felt sorry for her. She really was failed, by the system, and by everyone around her. Who knows what difference could've been made if someone would've just taken the time to help her, listen to her, and given her some comfort. Having to live out in the woods for two years, as a kid, and having the whole neighborhood treat you like you're trash is enough to make anyone bitter and feel the need to retaliate. She did the best she knew how, and used the only commodity she had, her body. How sad is that???

I can't speak for all the families and friends who lost their loved ones to Aileen, but I can tell you I was relieved she was given the death penalty. Why? She killed those men with no second thoughts, no remorse, and she should have to suffer what she put them and us through. Notb68 everyone she killed were soliciting. In fact, a couple were people who she just hitched a ride with and were kind enough to help her get somewhere, and she killed them.
There is a quote by Denzel Washington in the movie 'Man on Fire' that always reminds me about the situation. "Forgiveness is between you and God. It's up to me to arrange the meeting." (Or something along those lines.) -

i think she should have been given life inprisonment.
putting her to death is murder and is just as bad as what she did.

Yes I believe she should have been executed. Some people are just beyond help and the only humane thing is to kill them. Some people are just so horrible that they should indeed die. I believe Wuornos was a combo of the two.

well thats the most ignorant thing I have ever heard said!!
how dare you ever say it is humane to kill someone. thats is s111cick. nobody has the right to play god, wuornos didnt and neither do we, some people chose to lower themselves and decide to play god.
its so funny to me that you wanted her dead, do you really think she is one of a kind, chances are there are very many people in the world today who experienced the same things as Wuornos did, and may go on to commit the crimes she did, so rather than study and learn all they could from wuornos, she was just taken and murdered.
if people like Wuornos, Bundy and other killers are studied, their behaviour can be detected in other people in earlier stages and many people could be saved and helped if this is so

Wuornos didn't play God? That's a laugh, she judged and executed several men who never did anything wrong to her. Only thing they were guilty was one moment of weakness in which they picked up a white trash prostitute, hell that last one didn't even do that just wanted to help her out. How is that not playing God?

No I don't believe she's one of a kind at all. I know there are killers and maniacs out there. All the info we could need to "study" their "condition" is gathered by the police as well as the psychiatrists (spelling might be wrong) the killers/maniacs are sent to while in custody.
