A Florida jury has recommended the death penalty for a plumber who kidnapped, raped and murdered a police detective's daughter.

Experts testified that scans indicated that King's brain was abnormally shaped, especially his frontal lobe: the center for logic, planning and reason. His IQ was described as about 76, in the low range. A person with an IQ of 70 is considered to be mentally retarded, according to testimony.
Alright 76 IQ points only 6 away from being considered retarded.

King seemed to be deteriorating mentally in late 2007, according to testimony. He faced foreclosure, was considering filing for bankruptcy and broke up with a girlfriend on Thanksgiving Day. The ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Robb, testified that he sat on the bed staring into space and unable to dress himself.

According to testimony, Lee was taken from her home during the afternoon, driven to King's home, sexually assaulted and then shot in the head and buried in a ditch.

Lee's heart-shaped ring, a gift from her husband, was found in King's car, and hair matching hers was found on duct tape at King's house.

According to testimony and court records, Lee fought frantically for her life, banging on the windows of King's green Camaro, screaming for help and begging one witness, "Call the cops."
Now how does a person so damn near retarded end up legally getting a gun, a mortgage, be allowed into a hardware store to get his hands on duct tape and a shovel, and be allowed to drive a car?

Now am I the only person who thinks that maybe because of his low intelligence he shouldn't be allowed all of these privileges like gun, home, and car ownership?

Dude, this is America. We don't discriminate base on one's Intelligent Quotient.
Pass a drivers test? get a license to drive.
US Citizen? 2nd Amendment Right
Have Cash or Credit from your Bank? Buy a house.

So Yes, I hope you are the only one that thinks that. Glad he got the Death Penalty, too bad he will be released by some retarded judge in the future

Edit: They are not "privileges" they are Rights granted by the Bill of Rights and State Laws.

Spoiler (highlight to read):
Health care on the other hand, is not a Right, but a "privilege" for those that earn its "benefits".

There was a guy who was actually retarded in my honors physics class.

I think the treatment of the mentally handicapped is one of the more ridiculous things in our society. There is something distinctly wrong with them, making them unable to function in society.

I would not be completely against euthanization of extremely retarded people.

A person is not a person unless they have the ability to reason.

Because he was a near retard and that's by your definition. You don't have a case at the moment Macca. Maybe if his IQ was 50 you could ask how he got a hold of all that shit you mentioned, but as far as the law is concerned (of which, I have no idea what US law says about retarded/low IQ people) the guy was a normal dude with no retardation, like you said, 6 points above retard.

IQ tests are absurdly arbitrary. A retardation test must be primarily functional...which if the testimonial by his girlfriend is true, he certainly wasn't.

Darn, thought this was a Bush thread.

Half the population is of below average intelligence.
Euthanase the lot I say, except the hot chicks.
In a few generations we will have a race of supernerd democrats dating pornstars.

I'm not seeing a bad side to this, except for the Republican party, which I can live with.
