He need to be token to the town square without delay and whipped until blood comes and then hanged, after that let the birds eat meat. Problem solved! we need to strong on crime and weak.
Fry fry fry. Alan was a nice man. Send so much electricity through Pruitt we have blackouts on the panhandle.
I think he should be kept alive in a sell decorated with pics of the ppl he shot n killed
Too much legalism in our justice system, poor sentencing guidelines, fighting on who holds the sword the jury or the judge, judge’s hands tied on some matters, liberals in tallahassee, and last but not least certain lawyers. We are now so weak (AND DOUBLE MINDED) We elect people that simply do not get anything done, BECAUSE the proper fix to a problem, will and often be found as offensive to us.
We are now in a similar situation that the Roman Empire was at, less work, more relaxation and sporting events, decline of the family, and importation of all goods and services, BEFORE THEIR DEMISE.
And as to the above murderer, not only did you kill a man and shed (innocent blood), you killed a family, but to your own fate and hurt you SEARED your conscience and therefore HELL is awaiting you. Now weather they fry you, or you die of old age in prison nothing will change your destiny, because without a conscience you can’t plead for the Lord’s forgiveness.
You can select The Chair Mr. Pruitt! Ride The Lightning & go out in a flashy manner!
Death penalty, I believe there was an officer involved shooting but in that region are reluctant because of others harboring criminal and crying out against the police officers. I can not stand for that. Enough is enough.
Which crime will he get to stand trial first? If this one was the only one resulting in a death it seems it should be first and if he is found guilty and receives the most appropriate sentence which seems he will from the evidence then the other ones may never be prosecuted. If he receives the death penalty he should admit to all the others –what difference will it make. FRY HIM. GETERDONE.
All i need is one chance one shot one time no fee for this service !
I’m glad this pig was caught but he should have been killed on the spot. He evidently left a blood trail along with other crimes from Montgomery to Pensacola and finally took a man’s life for doing nothing other than making a living.
Too bad a bullet didn’t find the coward during apprehension, that would have been justice served.
Man of God.. I’m with you on the “Swift Justice” thing. But, Sir… in this state, there seems to be none or very little of that. Our system seems to drag things out as many as 27 years after a conviction of 1st degree murder with a death sentence to execute the prisoner. It’s actually cheaper to jail the prisoner for life when legal bills the state pays to carry out an execution. It should be alot more like the system in Texas. They have swift justice.
We loved Mr Alan (A& E) in our community
So glad they caught him!
So glad he was captured.
D man, can we only give him FLINT,MICHIGAN water to test.
Thanks to the LEOs that caught him.
Having killed once he was likely to kill again until captured.
Now that he’s catch, now lets have swift justice for this fool.
Fantastic news!!! Now I just hope he doesn’t siphon away $30,000 annually while he sits on death row as his attorney drags out the case for 20-30 years. It should be bread and water only for this guy til he gets his day of judgment!
Thank you for catching him so quickly! Wow! Great Job! Now on to the punishment that will never measure up to what a loss our community has suffered.
Death penalty….please.
