                sniper sentenced to death will be shot at &#8216;point blank range&#8217;</font></p>
              <p><font size="2"><em>- Blix Panda</em></font></p>
              <p>Infamous DC sniper, John Allen Muhammad was sentenced to death 
                this week as the judge in the case made the unusual step of asking 
                for &#8220;death by firearm at point blank range.&#8221;</p>
              <p>The ACLU jumped in immediately saying that, &#8220;Muhammad&#8217;s 
                constitutional right to death from a distance is being grossly 
                violated.&#8221;</p>
              <p>Standing in his orange jump suit Muhammad took the sentencing 
                calmly. His attorney, while conceding to the courts wishes, argued 
                firmly against the manner of termination. The prosecution refused 
                to budge. &#8220;This guy is a discredit to the human race. I 
                think he is getting off light. Quick and painless. If it were 
                up to me I would have pushed for death at close range by B.B. 
                gun.&#8221;</p>
              <p>This new method of execution has legal analyst perplexed. How 
                exactly do they carry this out? Some analyst envision a sort of 
                &#8220;glory hole&#8221; method where Muhammad places his face 
                near a hole in a wall and someone on the other side sticks a gun 
                through.</p>
              <p>Currently there is no one licensed within the penal system to 
                carry out such measures, leaving victim&#8217;s families to call 
                for a &#8220;drawing&#8221; amongst themselves for the opportunity 
                to execute Muhammad.</p>
              <p>One family member suggested they auction the execution to the 
                highest bidder.</p>
