    T'was the night before Christmas, and all through the house... not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse."
    ----------
    {Be sure to read the article and also see the videos at the websites, and then ask yourself an honest question. What possible GOOD... will it do... to spend literally thousands upon thousands of dollars to keep these two killers in three hot meals and a cot, with free medical care, free dental care, and free vision care, as well as free legal help....FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES....as a punishment for doing what they did? The EASIEST thing to do with them... is to execute them, and be DONE with them! Streamline the appeals, and execute them; it's the cheapest way to go, and the right thing to do! Dead killers don't need kidney transplants, new eyeglasses, diabetes medications, and FREE mailing stamps;-- Tim McVeigh.... didn't cost taxpayers a dime today. Read what these two JACKASSES did to an entire FAMILY.... on CHRISTMAS EVE!}

    By DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP, Associated Press Writer
    Judy Anderson was wrapping presents for her family on Christmas Eve when gunfire erupted in her living room and her own daughter began a bloodbath that left Anderson and five other members of her family dead, prosecutors said. Anderson ran into the room and saw her daughter's boyfriend shoot her husband of 38 years, Wayne, prosecutors alleged as they filed aggravated first-degree murder charges Friday.

    Judy Anderson started screaming and Joe McEnroe turned his gun on her. She fell to the floor, not yet dead. McEnroe apologized and shot her again, this time in the head, according to a police affidavit.

    King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg said long-standing bitterness and a perceived family debt might have been factors in the shootings. But Satterberg said he was at a loss to assign a motive to the crime that police say McEnroe and Michele Anderson have admitted committing. "In the end, what motive could you find that would make sense of the senseless slaying of the Anderson family?" Satterberg said.

    Satterberg's account of the crime and a police affidavit portray a Christmas Eve that exploded in gunfire and bloodshed, leaving three generations of a family dead. "In the span of one hour, the defendants had turned this family's Christmas Eve celebration into a scene of mass murder," Satterberg said as he charged Anderson and McEnroe with the only crime punishable by death in Washington.

    Satterberg has 30 days to decide whether to seek the death penalty.

    (HE WILL.)

    According to court documents, after killing her parents, Anderson and McEnroe, both 29, dragged the bodies to a shed outside the rural Carnation home and mopped up the blood with towels and carpets, according to court documents. They burned some of the evidence in a backyard fire pit, reloaded their weapons and waited for Michele's brother and his family to arrive.

    When Scott Anderson, 32, walked in the door, he spotted his sister with a gun and charged her. Michele Anderson and McEnroe shot him multiple times. Michele then shot her sister-in-law, Erica, 32, who still managed to climb over a couch and call 911.

    An operator at the 911 calling center picked up the call, but Erica did not speak before McEnroe tore the phone from her hands and destroyed it. Huddling with her children, Erica Anderson pleaded with McEnroe not to shoot her, saying: "You don't have to do this." McEnroe told her: "Yes, we do,'" and shot her in the head, according to the affidavit. He then shot 6-year-old Olivia before turning to 3-year-old Nathan, who had picked up the batteries from the cordless phone his mother had used in her futile attempt to call for help.

    "McEnroe told detectives that Nathan held the batteries up in one hand and gave '... the look of complete comprehension ... as if he understood." McEnroe then fired one last bullet through Nathan's head, according to the affidavit. When asked why he shot Erica, Olivia and Nathan, McEnroe told detectives three times: "I didn't want them to turn us in," according to the affidavit.

    Michele Anderson told investigators "it was a combination of not wanting them to have to live with the memories and not wanting there to be any witnesses." Arraignment for the two was scheduled for Jan. 9.

    Michele Anderson told detectives her brother, a carpenter, owed her money she had loaned to him years earlier, and that she was upset with her parents because they did not take her side. She also said her parents were pressuring her to start paying rent for staying on their property.

    "Michele stated that she was tired of everybody stepping on her," the court papers say. "She stated that she was upset with her parents and her brother and that if the problems did not get resolved on Dec. 24, then her intent was definitely to kill everybody."

    After the killings, McEnroe and Anderson first drove north toward Canada, then south toward Oregon arriving at neither destination, then decided to go back and pretend to discover the bodies, Satterberg said.

    When they arrived Wednesday, investigators were already there. Detectives, curious that neither McEnroe nor Michele Anderson asked what had happened at the bustling crime scene, began questioning them and they eventually confessed, according to the documents.

    Telephone calls to public defender George Eppler, Anderson's attorney, and Devon Gibbs, McEnroe's lawyer, were not immediately returned Friday.

    see now, it's less the death penalty that bothers me than this weird kind of pleasure some people take in it -- in the idea of it. most of the people who get executed are probably not a great loss to the species (not many of us are, let's face it). but it seems we can't have executions without some people enjoying them, and that's not healthy for the whole society, to reinforce that.

    the only death penalty advocates i could take seriously would be people who feel grave sorrow at each execution but still think it's somehow necessary. anyone else is just getting off on it in some way.

    Default oh how convenient, Jesse

    That is a snide way to debate it-- portray anyone who is FOR it... as for it because they have some GLEE over it!

    Let's see.... if Gore says that people who are NOT... for his recommendations FOR the efforts to stop Global Warming... are somehow now GLEEFULLY gassing up their cars?

    Your argument gets more ridiculous by the minute. It's also quite a relevation when it comes to light that you are an employee of the NYT! I love it when liberals and leftists claim that there is NO leftist bias in the news.... even as guys like you can walk around the newsroom at the NYT.... and find

    exactly HOW MANY CONSERVATIVES?

    Please, Jesse... illuminate us all. Walk around YOUR newsroom.... and HONESTLY TELL ME... how many reporters there...

    are to the right of center?

    It's amazing to me how many leftists just abhore Fox News as some kind of nazi war propoganda, even as they overlook the editorials in the Washington Post, which for YEARS... for DECADES... have been leftist in scope!

    How can you even deny it? That's what kills me! If you took the votes of every professor at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville? How many of them voted for the right, and have done so for decades? How many of them are free to voice their dissent from the lock step ideology of university politics, Jesse?

    Do you honestly THINK that a professor who teaches journalism at UT can also be [at the same time] a KNOWN political conservative? And go on to get TENURE?

    Instead of debating the obvious, you back up to categorization of the poster-- oh well, he could not be coming from this angle out of sheer concern for taxpayer dollars... he MUST have been expressing his GLEE at something that was somehow ghoulish!

    You really should have more than that by now, man. A smart guy you are;-- much smarter than me in many ways. But idealism does not translate to public policy in 'every decision' of how to use public funds; this is a concept leftists don't seem to exactly understand.

    No it's not. Anyone who's been paying the slightest attention knows that.

    DD, I can assure you that not all professors are liberals.

    Since this is still America, there are professors of all political stripes at UT.
    Some are republicans. Some are democrats. Some are communists. Some are marxists. And more.

    But hey, if you cannot stand to have your mind expanded a bit, don't attend university.

    Tune your radio to Rush and let him tell you how to think. It really is much, much easier, don't you think?

    COMMIE AMERICA-HATING LIBERAL! It's non-charged, thoughtful comments about personal opinion like these that reveal your true partisan colors!

    Wait...
    Time heals the wound, but then there's still a scar -- to remind us of the way it's meant to be.
