Death sentence for shooter

[gadje]

Now wait ~20 years before actually carrying out the sentence.

The death penalty is just a crappy way to take out the trash.

ehhh, whats a better way?

drop him in the middle of the ocean with a Snickers bar and tell him to start swimming? or the top of Mt Everest mid winter in summer clothes and in a comfy chair?
keep him alive and pay $100k/year to let him get his ass kicked by guards and inmates?
Send him to MBS and have him cut off his hands?
Send him to Ukraine to fight and die?

take a life, give one back.
He ain't trash, he's a witnessed murderer.
There is no question of his guilt and broken brain.

If this thinking makes me no better than him, so be it.

Take Derek Chauvin with him.

What is gained by the death penalty?

[cbelt3]

It’s effective life without hope of parole.

Ultimately the People , through the courts, have decided that this person should be permanently removed from society.

I oppose the death penalty. Life in maximum security federal prison, no possibility of parole, is what I would prefer.

This is a federal sentence, and unless Trump becomes President again, it is unlikely to be carried out.

Since 1927, only 50 people have been executed under a federal sentence, and 13 of those occured during a Donald Trump killing spree in 2020-2021.

Prior to that the last federal execution was 2003.

not a damn thing.
what is to be gained by letting it live?
its whole life to think about it? meaningless.
it has already proven it wasn't about thinking.
and as others have pointed out, it will never happen in the US.
