They should bring back public executions. (solution, money, claim, support)

What cultures are those? No western nation, that's for sure, nor most asian nations. Please name them, and provide some facts to your claim they have less crime.

Or how about a bullet in an other location, below the belt?

Sure, as long as we are going to revert to being barbarians, why not stone them to death, or maybe even burn them at the stake !

I would like to think that in 2018 we humans have made some progress toward evolution. Maybe not the idiots who kill people, but us regular citizens, who should be above that kind of thinking.

So the anti-Islam crowd now are advocating Islamic solutions.

Who would of thought these people are Taliban or ISIS wannabees.

I would support it but only for impeached presidents.

Yes, or no?

After all, Saudi Arabia has less crime!

How many people in Saudi Arabia have their hand(s)* cut off? (not very many) How many people are in American prison for theft? (millions)

Cost of prison: $60,000 per year per inmate, cost of ax: $60, reusable.

*they cut off only one hand the first time, other hand the second time. I challenge you to find someone with both hands cut off.

And then said inmate gets placed on disability for life. Thus saving nothing

That was my reaction when I saw the title of this thread. It reminded me that in the 90s Phil Donahue wanted to broadcast an execution. He was admittedly against the death penalty although he said airing an execution live was a free press issue.

Not sure the death penalty would deter most mass shooters since they already end up dying either by their own hand or suicide by cop.
