A person goes to work and never makes it home. Heart breaking. I hope the 2 Killers get death! No need to have these two POS get out in 10 to 20 years. KILL THEM! The man they murdered was also retired Air Force. He served our country and what did his killers serve. Sick, sick, sick!
Speedy trial and a public execution will slow this type of crime way down. Mr. Thomas is gone forever and so should they be.
