You should read about how Dylann Roof grew up. So you don't believe in getting people the mental help that they need. Instead lets mentally torture them more by physically constraining them, that should solve it. Look how well the jail concept is working. The jails are practically empty because people are being deterred from committing crime by their very presence.
Re the bolded above. Where did I say that? I do believe in rehabilitation and treatment for the mentally ill. I DON'T believe in leaving them free to hurt more people during the process. And while you're feeling for this terrorist and whatever trauma you think he must have experienced, where's your concern for the trauma he's caused to all of his victims? But you think he should be free. Un-effing-believable.

Using your logic, our welfare system doesn't work and should be discontinued, because no matter how much money the government gives to the poor, poor people still exist.

Omg, why treat one person's cancer when someone else will get cancer anyway?

They are going to hang him by the toes. He will get a very long sentence.
He's from the Bronx and has a lengthy criminal record that spans many decades and many states.

Leave the welfare system alone, without the poor, there would be no rich. Poor people are needed so that people will be scared into working their meaningless jobs, and when I say meaningless, I mean the jobs that don't contribute to the advancement of human society on this planet. 1% needs you guys as distracted as possible with "jobs" and "paid entertainment."

Comparing cancer to a jail sentence? How are the 2 comparable? I'll let you explain.

Spending his waning last years in a federal prison was clearly his retirement plan.

Black males wouldn’t be the most incarcerated group if they were dealt with kid gloves.

There are many rural areas (think MS, AL, WV) that are red with poor citizens that vote Republican consistently. Areas with no jobs, resources, adequate healthcare, etc but they still vote red.

Maybe the poor Republican constituents get the same thing the poor Democrat constituents get.
