Should the Parkland Shooter Die?

I think anyone who commits one of these mass shootings should be executed. If anyone should be executed it's these guys, they killed a bunch of people and there is zero doubt as to their guilt. Can you imagine losing a friend or family member in one of these mass shootings? Doesn't bear thinking about.

I'd rather be alive in prison than executed. They can read books and work out or whatever in prison, or occasionally have a really good night's sleep or a relaxing shower provided they ain't getting raped. They get used to it and could probably have relatively decent moments here and there once they come to terms with the situation. Shoot them dead instead, and that rhymes too.

I don't agree with mass shootings, I can understand the killers mindsets of deep misanthropy but it isn't the right way of going about things. If you carry out an attack you are giving society the right to abuse you and demonise you, they have a free ticket to do. You also ruin your reputation and your family reputation for eternity.

In incel forums they glorify mass shootings but I think it is mainly just edgy online speak. There isn't much chance of them actually going out and doing it themselves. The most famous shooter is Elliot Rodger whose attack actually failed. He planned to kill loads of white women yet ended up stabbing a few Asian males. The reason is the sorority house he planned to shoot up was locked. Imagine that level of failed planning.

Death penalty all day long.Im not a soft person but I've followed bits of the trial and the testimony from the families is gut wrenching.

14 year old girls with nothing but their bare hands to protect them against a weapon that will tear their insides to shreds.And most of those kids didnt die instantly.

His own public defenders have cried and the jury supposedly had a hard time watching the CCTV of the actual killings.

For the damage he has done,he should die.

Typical pinko response.

I was reading recently about child killer John Wayne Gacy. A particularly monstrous manifestation of evil was that guy and certainly a person who deserved to be put to death, but it took 14 years on death row and many other guards and inmates wounded by him in attacks he carried out while in prison.

Now, evil is a subjective status. Are people truly evil, or are acts that are judged to be" evil" simply a demonstration of very serious mental illness and Cluster B personality disorders?

Personally, I don't care about that distinction. Any person who will indiscriminately take the lives of multiple innocents, irrespective of their motivation, should simply be ended.

Why would anyone want to pay millions to keep such a creature locked up for 30 or 40 years, with zero prospect of release. Of what value is that waste of oxygen?

The Parkland killer, as with all other mass shooters, once convicted, should be put against a wall and their lives ended by firing squad.

Such parallels offer no consolation to bereaved families, I'm sure, but the debate about lethal injections and the theatre of electric chairs are all left to one side when all you need is a yard wall, a blindfold and five marksmen with rifles.

Some people truly do not deserve to live.

Actually, the exact opposite would be the effect. They go to prison and they get fan mail, dedicated forums on incel enclaves, tribute posters/music/memes. They are, in effect, glorified until their release or you could just execute them and move on. Lots of kids do this to be ''seen'' because they're invisible before it. Make them invisible again by putting them in the ground, not propping them up on a pedestal.

It will leave the community of folks that love this crap nobody to correspond with, nobody to lovingly protest for and use as a symbol for their backwards incel mindset. I agree that to punish murder with murder may send the wrong message but the alternative will only make more shooters.

Nothing about this is ''impressive'' at all by the way.

Execution is not a power any country should have.

No different to cancer, this lad needs to be cut out from society. It's not about punishment it's about eradication.

I've you've got two minds you might be mentally ill.

Maybe he should die but I wouldn't kill him in cold blood myself and don't expect the society I live in to devise a system to do it on my behalf.

that did stand out to me as a particularly bizarre way of phrasing that sentence...

🙄 🙄 🙄

So you'd lock up every farmer who has a shotgun and throw them into a looney bin eh? And every hunter, target shooter and Olympic athlete who takes part in any event using a gun?

Very logical approach and not at all a nonsensical thing to suggest.

Here's the gun confiscation unit after 2 minutes on the job. 😀
