aileen was wrong to kill those men, she deserved to be punished.
But she was let down by the very system that so easily condemd her to death. Everyone knows about her childhood, the system should have been there to help, she was failed miserably by it.
I'm not saying that she would have become the perfect citizen if she had had the help she had the right to, but maybe, just maybe it could have save her from becoming a killer.
And as for the execution, what a joke, she was clearly suffering from mental issues and was not competant.
What have we come to, in this 'modern' age, when we execute mad people, when we let them become what they did in the first place? -

Aileen had no remorse for killing innocent people. Not to mention the effects it had on us, the families and friends of the victims. Tons of people have had lives just as bad - and some worse - and they don't all become murderers. She made herself a victim, and that's her own fault. Nobody forced her to go on a murder spree. Aileen got lucky and deserved worse.

'u's so what, you know one of the relatives, this makes you an expert how?
course she didnt feel remorse, she was out of her mind, im not saying 'good for you aileen, go kill more people' she was wrong and deserved punsihment, but executing an insane person is just wrong, if you disagree with that, what kind of an animal are you? -

I feel for the family and friends of the men Aileen killed.
However, the death penalty is not the answer, in this case or any other case. Capital murder trials cost an average of $3 million from arrest until the final court decision.
Most state's victim's assist funds are sorely underfunded. It doesn't make sense to administer retributive justice in a faulty system where 1 out of every 8 death row inmates is proven innocent.
Why not put the money spent on the capital cases into the victims assist funds? Or into funds rehabilitating people who have never had a chance at life? Killing Aileen didn't bring her victims back. Isn't it safe to think that they might have benefited more from the assist funds, which could have provided lifetime counseling, scholarships, health insurance, etc.?
Also, we need to step back and ask ourselves how it is that people like Aileen are so failed by society that they resort to these measures.
Her parents abandoned her, she was constantly raped from an early age, and was never provided with any support or education.
This doesn't excuse her actions, but isn't our society at least a little to blame?
If Aileen had been put in a loving foster home, given an education, and protected from sexual assault, I hardly think she would've gone on a killing spree. It's easy to solely blame and hate the murderer, but the issue is more complex.
She decided to erase you almost as a lark. -

Your signature is that is a signature is wrong, Tennage boys are evil and cold blooded criminals and murders since they kill had a much much higher rate than women which would make your statement abut women being the spawn of the Satan and the anti-christ more true for men. Deal with most men are evil and two weak to deal with their problems like a man.
