This is why I don't ever try to escalate road rage incidents or otherwise go out of my way to piss people off. Some people are just completely f'n crazy, and you can never know what someone is capable of.

It's sad.

I'm glad the prick killed himself... may he burn in hell.

If there is a hell.  The "prick" got off easy.  Life imprisonment in a small cell is the ultimate punishment and is also cheaper than the death penalty.

He had planned to flee to Canada so that he couldn't be extradited back to California to face the death penalty. He had the tickets and the cash on him - only problem was, his fuel-spraying bomb malfunctioned somehow and he got high-octane aviation fuel on his Santa suit, suffered third degree burns over a significant portion of his body, and so he decided on suicide.

      It might even get cheaper if we were using it as often as I think we should be.

If there isn't a hell, he got of taste of the fire that many associate with hell when the Santa suit melted on his skin.  I'm sad for everyone involved and cannot even imagine the years of counseling the little girl will face as "Santa shot me" will never be erased from her mind.

Open and shut  cases often make the case for the death penalty.  However, once you hear a juror say "Hell yes I voted guilty, the defendant stared at me and he looked mean"  you tend to wonder.

I'm not sure if that's their policy anymore.  I know Canada extradited that prick, Charles Ng back to California.  He's sitting on death row right now.

Wiki says that after the Ng extradition Canadian policy reverted back to denying such extradition requests again:

quote:

Along with Kindler, the case was essentially overruled in 2001 with United States v. Burns. In Burns, the Court found extraditing people to places where they might face the death penalty breached fundamental justice under the Charter. In 1998, Ng was convicted in California of 11 counts of murder and sentenced to death. As of 2008[update] he remains on death row awaiting execution.
