The jury in the trial of Pittsburgh synagogue mass shooter Robert Bowers found Thursday he is eligible for the death penalty, shifting the focus of the proceeding to whether he should be sentenced to death or life in prison.
Clearly this guy is guilty as hell, but I still think he should get life in prison, not death. There’s already been enough killing. Even if he gets the death sentence, he’s still going to sit in prison for years or decades until all the legal mechanisms have been exhausted. Let’s not spend any more court or lawyer time here.
If I was facing life or the death penalty, I choose death.
Wasting away, fighting for survival, no entertainment, no vices (in theory), etc.
No appeals, expedite it. Take me behind the courthouse and put a few rounds in my head. Be thorough.
I’m miserable enough living in “the greatest country in the world,” just get it over with. My “life” is lost either way, death just prevents the rampant suffering along the way.
No. It’s not about the financial cost. It’s primarily about the possibility of making a mistake. Here, it doesn’t appear to be the case, but even so, like I said, it will still tie up the courts with appeals, when they could be hearing other cases. Just make it a life sentence in the first place and get it over with.
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.

I didn’t. I said court and lawyer time, not money.
