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.

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.

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. 😀

For me I've always felt that if they saw the error of their ways and then had to spend a lifetime in prison with their gut wrenching agony of what they did, it would be a far better punishment.

A lot of these guys will see themselves as justified in what they did until they die. They will see themselves as martyrs and so will their followers (if they have any). Slap them in a maximum security prison and try to rehabilitate them.

For that reason I think we go back to something like chain gangs.

Society should be getting something back from prisoners, shouldnt just be an expense.

Good to know you don't agree with mass shootings

Halfway through your rant you torpedo your own argument.

If the basis is "kill them all as they are all crazy and irredeemable" but also, since they are crazy and warped, then killing them will do nothing to prevent others from also being crazy and warped.
