John Allen Muhammad Controversy

John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were not right for shooting Iran Brown and murdering James L. Buchanan, Premkumar Walekar, Sarah Ramos, Lori Ann Lewis-Rivera, Conrad Johnson, Pascar Charlot, Dean Harold Meyers, Kenneth Bridge, Linda Franklin and Jeffrey Hopper. Is it true that if anyone steps foot on the United States soil and commits a crime will be tried according to the laws set forth in the Constitution? One would say, the two men deserve to have death sentences because of what they did. Think about what they were probably thinking when they were shooting people. What is religiously motivated? It was not a racial motivated act because they killed African Americans along with other ethnicities, it was not a hatred towards women because men were murdered and it was not targeted at adults because a teen was killed and a child was injured. Why did they think these victims deserved to die? Were the victims wrongdoers in Muhammad and Malvo's opinion? John Allen Muhammad has been put to death and time can not be changed but is the government wrong for wanting Muhammad to die because he was a wrongdoer? If so, isn't the government guilty of doing exactly what Muhammad and Malvo did?
