There is another 14 year old still in the hospital in critical condition. My local news just said the shooter had a stash of guns in his house and admitted to 'killing people' but he had no criminal record.
I will always accept it. I do not condemn the tool used to commit murder, I condemn the man and the man only.
Like with everything else, I see a time, when an overwhelming majority of Americans will decide the price is simply not worth and they don't want to tolerate the madness anymore. The change of heart is already on the way, but it may still take time.
Most Uber employees who are dysfunctional to some degree - loser types who can't get a real job, with issues with life in general. If you use Uber you are taking a chance, I don't let my wife and kids use them - I call a legitimate taxi company.
Nothing will, doesn't mean he deserves to continue his own life after taking that of others.
Executing him isn't really the issue though. He obviously doesn't care about his life.
No...the real issue is the one that no one wants to deal with. So let's just execute him...then we can all feel better about ourselves because we "did something about it." We showed him!
This rant isn't really aimed at you because you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.
But it guarantees a looooooong legal fight and lots of appeals.
If the death penalty is available you offer them a plea to life no parole.
(Like they did with the Green River Killer)
That's how the DP should be used.
Only get it if you won't accept life no-parole and where the evidence is overwhelming and not circumstantial or marginal.

So I'll just leave it there...
To me, it's not about doing something or showing anybody anything, I'm just of the opinion that anyone who deliberately takes another's life forfeits the right to their own. I wouldn't feel better or worse about myself for it, I believe it's simply as close (and not really close at all) as we can come to that ambiguous concept of 'justice'.
