Defiant teen gets life sentences in Ohio shooting - WTOP.com
You really think society is better off with paying for this guy to live 70 years or more in prison than just having taken him out back and shot him?
monsters like this killer are the reason we need the death penalty
But some libby needs his feel good moment.
Liberals think killing is barbaric... Unless that killing removes an inconvenience they hadn't planned on, then it's OK.
Conservatives think killing is just peachy... Unless it is a fetus. Then it's horrible. Of course, once it's born it's on its own.
Who do you think warrants the death penalty more; An unplanned unborn child, or a convicted murderer? Don't bother, we all know your answer.
Don't assume you know how I may or may not feel.
That's why I said "might" feel differently. Maybe you'd be perfectly content to be put to death for a crime you didn't commit. I wouldn't.
Damn near everyone in prison is innocent. Just ask them.
Would you like a list of all the people on death row who have been found innocent of their crime? If it was as rare as you seem to think there wouldn't be an entire organization dedicated to helping the innocent not die for a crime they didnt commit.
Sure.

monsters like this killer are the reason we need the death penalty
But some libby needs his feel good moment.
The Catholic Church opposes abortion in all cases, and it opposes stem cell research.
It also opposes the death penalty. Does this one thing make the Church liberal?
Many, many Christian faiths' dogmas includes an opposition to the death penalty.

No doubt. But some people in prison ARE innocent. As long as they are alive, there is a chance that they could be exonerated. Once they are executed, that chance is gone.
The instant that this kid dies, his suffering is ended. If he lives 70 years in maximum security, he will face years of being raped, living in a cage, with nothing to look forward to but the day that he does die. Every day will be hell, with danger from violent cons all the time. He could only hope that someone will finish him off, like they did Dalmer.

Actually, as a fiscal conservative and a pragmatist, I oppose the death penalty. Your post indicates a severe deficiency in the facts of the issue.
It actually costs more to put someone to death than to house them for 40 years.

No doubt. But some people in prison ARE innocent. As long as they are alive, there is a chance that they could be exonerated. Once they are executed, that chance is gone.
In this day an age the odds of an innocent person being put to death is very slim.
But even so they can still be exonerated posthumously.

Always fun when small government types advocate for giving the government the power to excute its citizens.
Public approval of the death penalty is currently about 70%.

That might be how you'd feel but it doesn't apply to everyone, and especially not those wrongly convicted of which there are far too many.
You act as if innocent people are being executed on a daily basis.
If fellow citizens are committing murderous acts then yes they should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. You don't like the law? Seek to change it and stop whining about it.
Would you like a list of all the people on death row who have been found innocent of their crime? If it was as rare as you seem to think there wouldn't be an entire organization dedicated to helping the innocent not die for a crime they didnt commit.
And while you're at it. How about a list of those that have been executed and later to be found innocent.
Dont see how thats possible when it cost 600 bucks a day to hold an illegal alien.
So figure about 11 million bucks for 50 years of incarceration.
I would think they could kill a guy a little cheaper then that. Even with court cost.
