Wow.  This seems totally random, sorry for all involved.

Sure, ben, but the robbery-murder at Mojos is squarely in Avondale.

What a tragedy for all involved.

Channel 4 headlines for this story (1 dead, 1 injured after multiple shootings near Avondale) What? isn't Mojo #4 in the heart of Avondale?

There's a picture of the suspect from the CVS cameras.

CVS, btw, is about a mile from Mojos in Avondale.

I am heartsick over this and hope that this suspect is in the hands of JSO immediately.  The mug shot is very clear and someone knows who this guy is.

An updated article from the TU says the man who was murdered was working with a company that was cleaning equipment inside the Mojo's.  His name is Robert Sutton, age 53.  He leaves his wife and children, the children living in Georgia.  My heart goes out to his family and every family who are made to suffer such a tragedy because of the lawless greed of another.

This is exactly why I believe in capital punishment.

[Cheshire Cat]

The problem is that we cannot kill them all I-10, nor should we want to in my opinion.  To tackle the problem of crime, society needs to get in front of it as opposed to dealing with the impact of a crime once committed.  There will be more to follow this guy in the steps of crime and the death penalty has not proved to be a deterrent to crime.  We need to focus on the areas of dysfunction in society that breeds criminality and I say this knowing that such an undertaking will take decades to have a lasting effect.  We are talking dysfunction in families, lack of education, impact of poverty and beyond.  It is also not a good idea to have cut officers from JSO or attack them via pension reform etc.  We need good officers to serve and protect all of our community in the meantime.

We live in a state that has capital punishment and this still happened.

With all due respect yall, I have zero remorse for killers, zero. Me sympathising with a murderer is like trying to find a palm tree in the Yukon. I get it that this site is heavily liberal (I'm a democrat BTW) but my mind will never change concerning these scumbags, regardless of race. I don't by that BS 'product of my environment' cop out either, because I grew up in rough neighborhoods. Bottomline some people are evil, and nothing will change that, not a psych, Dr Phil, no one. Yes I hate violent criminals, and they can burn in you know where. There's alot of people out there that feel exactly the way I do. Just my 2.

[Cheshire Cat]

I-10, I think you may be mistaken when you insinuate that those opposed to the death penalty are pro killers.  That really is a stretch.  I do understand that the "death penalty" on the surface provides a momentary release of anger most of us feel when faced with the reality that there are people in society that do horrible things.  The death penalty doesn't deter crime and this is backed by statistics.  Years ago, when I was much younger I supported the death penalty.  Then DNA came along and the reality was driven home that we as a society have executed and incarcerated "innocent" people in the name of justice.  When that happens, we are no different than those we claim to abhor.  Death lets a criminal off the hook in my estimation.  Life with no parole seems a must more just punishment.

The death penalty... is a penalty... not a deterrant.

The death penalty doesn't deter crime and this is backed by statistics.

This might make sense if we called it the death deterrant.  It is the price paid by the murderer.

Doesn't this prove the point?
