New York mum seeks donations to fund trip to witness execution of her daughter’s killer

Well-said, Lake Isle! The only problem with the death penalty in the States is that it's too humane and the appelate process can drag on for years. The disgusting cho-mo should have been hanged decades ago for his heinous crime. Some of you are indeed insensitive to a grieving mom's plight; ever lost a kid?

@johnnymac no sh*t, take a greyhound for 200 round trip a motel six for a night or two, and she'll be back in the trailer to pick up the disability check on monday.

I'm OH so happy that Mr. Mohangi lived a full life of thankfulness. Payback, I'm sure for the life he so ruthlessly murdered then -- in a bid to escape punishment -- butchered like a steer in the slaughterhouse. Seven years? Not even one year for every year his victime had on this earth? We, the unwashed masses, call it revenge; the enlightened amongst you call it "Karma". And guess what, jacersagain? I only gasped in disbelief when I read the sentance that scum was given.

(… more) What really happened, and as factually documented, Mohanghi served time in jail, but – not most recognised in Ireland’s Catholic Christian history, but it’s still there – he was frequently visited by the sinner-forgiving but not the sin-forgiving Catholic parents of the murdered woman (Yes, this is where you, the reader, is allowed a gasp of disbelief). They became friends, a historical fact - over loads of heartbreaking chats in the jail where Mohanghi was, bringing forgiveness and what else through the period of Mohanghi’s detention. After release from our Irish prison system, Mr. Mohangi returned to his native country and lived a full life in thankfulness of the forgiveness of the Irish Catholic parents of the woman that he killed, cut up and dumped in a Dublin dump bin. Ms Curl might take a leaf out of this story of Irish Catholic Christian forgiveness and especially its fruits. It won’t serve Ms. Curl’s own life, or her descendants’ lives, to do what she selfishly desires. IMHO, not one single person should donate a single cent to furthering Ms Curl's life’s hurt. God bless and help her.

In my opinion, this lady needs to learn from a not too-long-ago Irish murder story. There was a "foreigner" fella called Mohangi who came to Ireland and worked in a restaurant in Dublin’s Harcourt Street who killed an Irish girl, his one-time girlfriend, in Dublin over a love/jealousy thing. After killing her, with his knowledge of kitchen butcher work, didn’t he go and callously cut up her body in pieces and try to dispose of her remains in the restaurant’s meat waste collector’s dustbin. He was found out. He was tried and convicted. There was outrage that he was committed to only 7 yrs in jail for manslaughter. In fact, the outrage in Ireland was so bad that d’oul Dubliners’ wits said that if you take the name ‘M’ohang’i’ an’ switch the first letter of his name (M) to the last, you would get O’hang’im; that’s how bad the popular outcry voice was for him to be hung (execution by hanging for murder was still legal in Ireland at that time). Now listen up a very big much (more…) while I go begging your and everyone's pardon and attention please...

What'swrong with Grayhound? I hope it breaks down on the way,so she realises the pointlessness of her vindictiveness. A true Christian would pray for both their souls.

Obviously, IC is not sympathetic to their plight or you would have provided info where to contribute. Unlike the other commentators, I do not judge them because thankfully, I have never walked in their shoes. If attending the execution brings some closure to these tortured souls, then, I will be sending my funds. Hopefully, these insensitive commentators will never have to find out how they would feel.

For that money she could buy a whole new wardrobe, spend a day at the spa, travel 1st class and have money left over. Is this really about justice?

I could think of better things to do with $4000.00 pretty sick thing to want to see. I hope know one is crazy enough to give it to her.

$4,000 to travel from NY to SD ? Is she going by taxi ?

I think Ms. Curl should realise that an eye for an eye just makes us all blind. She would be better for her daughters memory if she sobered up & did something useful to the community instead of seeking revenge

The killer was certainly perverted and I think the mother is just as perverted. What joy can she get from watching someone die. If she is so desperate she should find the money herself instead of hoping others will fund her fetish.

I understand her desire to be there...but to ask the public-at-large to subsidize the trip is ridiculous. Seeing the execution is not going to make her feel any better. As Nicopernicus said, she needs to find inner peace. I'd be more likely to contribute money for her to go for extensive therapy than I would be to send her off to witness the execution...although, truthfully, I can't afford to do either...otherwise I'd probably be in therapy myself, LOL.

Its unfortunate that her equating being a witness to this psychopaths death by lethal injection will somehow rid her of the mental chains she bears due to his actions., Nothing could be further from reality and while she may have the ability to rationalize...and rightly so, Nothing will cleanse her mind other then finding her own inner peace,.

I hope she gets the money for the trip. When it's a clear-cut case that the criminal is guilty of a horrible and psychotic murder(and especially when there is potential danger to others)I think it's very helpful to have execution as the punishment. I wish that was the same in Europe. In the ancient Vedic culture of India execution by the king of murderers was seen as helpful for everyone: the karmic debt of the criminal is reduced. The modern idea of putting the psychos in prison, at great expense to the tax-payer, is very unusual. Just like the parents of the young people killed by the weirdo in Norway last year are tax-payers, and they're now contributing towards the cost of the meals and housing of the murderer who killed their children.
