 In this last part on Tex Watson's views on the Death Penalty, the delusion of Saint Watson continues...

Q: What are some of the Biblical examples where God has shown mercy instead
of the judgment of death?

Again, the interviewer and Tex are purposely missing the point. Nobody is arguing that God shows mercy on all men regardless of what they do, but while a 7-time mass murderer is on this earth, it's man's justice which must prevail in order to maintain a civil society. You can be given mercy in your heart and soul while you're incarcerated unto death, Tex. 

My main question still is being left unanswered: Where was this mercy of which you expound when you knifed to death those seven souls, Tex?

While on earth: You showed no mercy then, we show no mercy for you now. 

Q: We hear victims of crime crying out for justice, but I hear you saying that
mercy is the answer, right?

Tex's answer: "Those crying out for justice do not know God's justice."

Disgusting. Tex is insinuating here that the victims' families who demanded justice for their slained loved ones are not close to God, but that a 7-time mass murderer is. The sheer arrogance of Watson knows no bounds.

After seeing what you did to those innocent people, how you literally slaughtered them in cold blood, we are supposed to show you mercy? Seriously? Listen, bud, you can get all the mercy from God you deserve, after you die. While you're still breathing air on earth, you can stay put behind bars, and look at society as having given you mercy by allowing you to live. You've had all the mercy we can stomach for you, Tex.

Q: Do you see the death penalty being unevenly applied in a discriminatory and
flawed fashion?

Finally, something we both agree on. Yes, justice is not applied evenly. Money talks, that is true. But to a cold-blooded mass murderer, of which you are, the death penalty should be evenly applied. You've proven you are not of society, that you have no conscience, that the people around you are easily expendable, so the way I see things is we should send you back to God. Your attempt at being human, humane, was a failure. You are a reject God can deal with. Not society.

Q: Do you believe the death penalty is a deterrent?

Another point we agree on. Of course, the death penalty is never a deterrent to sociopaths. If it were, you wouldn't have eagerly gone up to Cielo Drive and then Waverly Drive and knifed to death seven people. You even had hours in between to consider those heinous actions and not go the next night, but you eagerly went and the idea of mercy for any one of those souls never entered your mind, did it, Tex? If it had, all seven of those victims would be alive today.

Q: Some people believe if a prisoner repents, only then should they be spared.
What do you think?

Tex says, "But I do believe that a prisoner should go through a repentance process
before being released into society."

Another thing I agree with, but any old prisoner versus a 7-time mass murderer is a whole other kettle of fish. Repent all you want, Tex, but for you and the other Manson Family mass murderers, that should never be any Get Out of Jail Free card.

Q: So, am I hearing you saying that a prisoner's life is valuable to God, but not to
man?

Tex says, " That's right. God values every life — man, woman, or child."

That's true, any soul with a conscience. Any person who is humane, who values life. 

Here on earth, we punish according to the crime. When you're dead and gone, Tex, God can deal with you how He sees fit.

Again my question to you would be thus: at what point, before you plunged that bayonet into Abigail Folgers body so many times that her white nightgown turned blood-red, did you see her as a valuable human being?

Q: Do you think people are rethinking their stand on the death penalty after Karla
Faye Tucker was put to death?

Tex says, "We human beings
did not create life. God created this life, and He should be the only one to take it."

Right, so when did you decide it was okay for you to become an executioner?

What should society do we people who mow down innocent souls en masse?

Again, I say mass murderers, serial killers, murderous sociopaths like you, Tex, require a special kind of justice for the devastation they leave behind. 

Should society pay in tax dollars to have your kind continue to breathe in prison when you've proven your vengeance, multiple times, against man in this world?

I'm no for the death penalty for most, but killers like you, Tex, that's a whole other issue. You detest man on earth, so why should we want you here?

Q: Do you know of any examples of criminals who escaped execution, were
transformed and went on to become decent and useful citizens?

Tex's answer made me laugh. The dude had to go all the way back to the 1920s and child killer, Nathan Leopold, to find an example of a successful second chance given to a cold-blooded killer. 

Tex's choice proves my point that failure reigns over success when sociopaths are given second chances at freedom, which means Tex is where he should be if no death penalty is allowed.

Q: Charles, I believe your life is an example of a transformed life, as well. Are you
resigned to the penalty you will pay for your past?

The interviewer is really trying to make us buy this full-on sociopath is now a conscience-holding soulful man. Science knows that if you've gone into adult life not having a conscience, at no time will you grow one later in adult life. To say the opposite just proves a sociopath's inclination for manipulation.

Tex says, "I'm reminded daily of my past. I've been marked in the eyes of man as a murderer..."

My reply: Yes, you have been marked thus, Tex, simply because you CHOSE to murder innocent humans. If you had not, you'd be free today. And as for this God you place so close, my last question to you would be thus:

If society hadn't imprisoned you, would you be such a Bible Thumper today? 

Or would you have still carried in society with dealing drugs, conning people and eventually hurting or killing others?

The way I see things, Tex, is I'm relieved we who are on the outside of your prison walls ever have to take that gamble.
