Ultimate Punishment?

So, Timothy McVeigh was executed by lethal injection today. Since I didn’t closely follow his trial, I may be mis-informed, but here are some of the things I thought regarding the subject.

The Oklahoma bombing was a great tragedy and I can’t begin to understand the feeling of loss of the families and friends of the victims. Although the prosecutors and the courts say otherwise, I can’t believe that he acted alone. And I am not particularly for or against the death penalty.

However, to a man who is determined to become a martyr of some sorts and to his “supporters”, can the death penalty really an ultimate punishment for his ultimate act against humanity?

Tough to say…
