Just where is YOUR "Sound Off," as shown ON THE AIR earlier this evening, regarding President Obama's apparently earth-shaking appearance on the "Tonight Show."(?) As usual, you predictably choose a topic that that will get the supposedly "average" East Texan up in arms, and then purport that the comments do not "necessarily reflect the opinions of the news staff," ownership, etc..blah-blah-blah. LOL!! Just WHO do you think you people are kidding??? Not me. This is OLD news for the nit-pickers and the Mickey Mouse Club set.

Be it the word accomplice or accessory to, before, or after the fact, th main thing is the driver knew his roommate was going to do a robbery, and in all likelihood he knew he had a gun. It doesn't matter that he wasn't inside the store. He, as the driver, took part in a felony crime of theft, compounded by a murder.

Does he deserve the death penalty for this? No. Life with no parole, yes. If he had been inside the store, then yes, the death penalty would be the correct thing.

Either way, ignorance is no excuse of the law. Now, on the other hand, as I do not know the entire situation, if the gun in fact belonged to the driver, and gave it to his roommate to use, then I would have to swing my thinking to the death penalty, for that becomes a sound premeditated crime, and he should be put to death.
