13. They executed one here today in Ohio
"LUCASVILLE, Ohio - Ohio executed a religious cult leader Tuesday for murdering a family of five followers who were taken one at a time to a barn, bound and shot to death. The youngest was a girl just 7 years old.


Jeffrey Lundgren, 56, died by injection at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility.

"I profess my love for God, my family, for my children, for Kathy (his wife). I am because you are," Lundgren said in his final statement."

"Upset by what he saw as a lack of faith, Lundgren arranged a dinner hosted by cult members. Afterward, he and his followers led the family members one by one — the father first, young Karen last — to their deaths while the others unknowingly cleaned up after dinner.

Lundgren shot each victim two or three times while a running chain saw muffled the sound of the gunfire.

This guy was a piece of shit. I think I recall that he shot the youngest a second time to see if he could shot in the same hole.

He tried to stop his execution claiming it was inhumane.

I'm not for the death penalty, but like you.. there are times when I question myself.

Here is the family he slaughtered. The little one just gets me
