Should James Holmes, Colorado Shooter, Get The Death Penalty??

Should mass murders like James Holmes, who recently massacred 12 people in a movie theater in Colorado be getting the death penalty??

It seems likely he will anyway, and the vast majority of Americans are backing it, even people who are normally skeptical of it are for him getting it.

I guess people who are skeptical of the death penalty tend to support it in cases of when they know for sure its the killer and in cases of complete mass/mulitple murders, e.g. Timothy McVeigh.

Colorado has only executed one person since 1976, so they only use it for extreme cases, which James Holmes is.

My opinion is that I'm against the death penalty in all circumstances, I believe a society should avoid behaving the same way as the person who commited the crime did, I don't think that sends out a good message. Yes I'm the uber liberal here. I cannot accept a society which it says its ok to kill another human being, no matter how bad that person was. We as a society should be better than that, and of course in a lot of circumstances you run the risk of actually executing the wrong people. I wouldn't even execute Adolf Hitler, I'd have him locked up for the rest of his life instead.

So whats your opinion on mass murderers receiving capital punishment, are you for it or against it??
