Heinous and despicable intentional crimes against a correction officer and a nurse. The death penalty is too good for these murderers. God is waiting to instill justice

So sorry for the loss of Officer McFarland. He served the people of Iowa well by protecting them from vicious, hateful, vile people like those involved in his murder. I pray that his family will find some solace and peace in knowing that he was a brave man who, when overwhelmed, stood up to evil with strength and determination. May the Lord Bless his soul and may he forevermore Rest In Peace.
