Hi Gary,
I just wanted to let you know that as a regular viewer of CNN, I applaud your work which is always outstanding. As to Mr Jeffs, this guys is nothing more than a conman and a crook. He's no more a prophet than I am and the man deserves the jail cell he currently inhabits. Child Molestors like Jeffs enjoy the power they have over their victims more so than the self sexual gratification. Yet what sets Mr. Jeffs apart from other Child Molestors, is that he uses the ploy of some superior religious position which is pure bunk. I do respect, though do not agree with, some of the practices of members of the FLDS Church. But Jeffs is nothing more than a detriment and abomination to that religious group.

Before I condem this man for murder, i would like to know if the dead robbers have prior arrest records.

If they are have arrest records for other crimes, Mr Horn saved
tax-payers a lot of $$$.

These people would continue to rob and steal until they killed someone and were incarcerated. We all end up paying the bills while they learn to become better and better criminals.

Now, if someone shoots an INNOCENT PERSON like a paper boy just because they THINK they are being burlarized – they should be charged with murder.

You gotta get this one right and in Mr Horn's case he shot "actual robbers" or "bad guys".and got it right.

Nothing wrong with shooting the bad guys these days is there?

Jesus said there would be many false prophets Deciving many people. Prophecies like that are fullfilled before the eyes of the world & yet how very few can read the signs of our time.

If this guy is going to try and kill himself let him do it. He's going to starve himself to death. Let him do it. The humane thing to do is to give him food and water, change it out when it is considered too old to eat and continue to do this until he passes away. I can imagine if this man was on death row. Someone wants to keep him alive so that they can kill him. There goes taxpayers money, taking him to the hospital and everything that goes with that. Is this ridiculous or what?

I never cease to wonder why disillusioned people believe these clowns, like Warren Jeffs, are prophets. And they allow these pedafiles to rape their own children. I love the way they use God as a mask for their hideous crimes. The mothers of these children are more at fault than Warren Jeffs.

How can you call a child molester a prophet?

He needs to be sent back to jail and wait his turn for medical treatment like all other child molesters!

You can't call something Karma if it is self induced. His internal organs are shutting down due to lack of food & water. If he has not done too much damage, they will repair him and he will start the cycle all over again. Good use of our tax dollars!

I find it funny, he is "going in to Sin City."

Did he get slipped something?

Part of the shame here is that he's getting better medical treatment than most on the outside of prison.

You people watch too much "Earl." People get sick, people die, good and bad. Are these the same people who felt badly for Kennedy and his brain tumor after leaving that girl to die in wrecked up car. I don't like Warren Jeffs, but if you believe in Karma, believe in Karma, not just when it is convenient for you.

Jeffs wants to die so another can take over as prophet. Let him die............eventually, he will succeed anyway.........just let him do it.

Warren Jeffs on his deathbed is far better than Warren Jeffs on the ceremonial bed found in his church.

Authorities better bar the hospital doors to keep those wacko parents from bringing in their babies for a last chance romp into heaven.

I hope the roles are reversed, and he is now the object of some older, bigger man's affections!

Um...if this man is a prophet then why is he trying to commit suicide. Isn't that a sin in the bible?

While I don' like wishing anyone ill, child molesters I have no tolerance for. I would rather see tax dollars be spent saving someone’s life not a child predator. And I agree with the others you reap what you sow and he has sewn some nasty seeds.

I am surprised GOD can't cure him!

Isn't that the religious way – PRAY TO GOD, JEFF and he will answer your prayers!
