His sentencing trial started today and is expected to last four or five months. What are your thoughts on what he should be sentenced to?

Death.

By Hanging.

In the town square.

death, after much physical suffering

and stream it live for all to see and know this is what they have coming for them.


or better.

It should have already been over with!

The Fort Hood shooter is still breathing air. Not only that he gets to write letters to the new Afghanistan government- the Taliban - saying We Won!

In cases where there are ZERO chances who did it there should not be years and years go by!

DEATH. Preferably on the rack in the town square. Stretch him slowly.

Death by the most painful way.

I think the whole "humane death penalty" stuff is bull***** Torture them. Draw it out. Make them remember what they did. Screw this merciful and compassion crap. Maybe it'll make the next dumbass think twice.

What does the law allow for?

I'm mostly anti-death penalty but pro prison should be spartan and "unpleasant" at best. Safe, yet miserable. I don't want torture, even for those that might deserve it. Incarnations aren't social vengeance, just justice and prevention/deterrence.

In the case of true psychopaths that will always be a danger, I don't have a huge problem in sending them for judgment by a higher power sooner rather than later.

Death. As well as the Waukesha massacre guy.

Interesting that so far only one of them has been charged with a hate crime.

I feel the same way. My reasoning would be to save the taxpayer money. However, I believe it cost as much or more to house someone on death row through the years of waiting then it would cost to house them for life, not on death row. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, it may depend on if they like butt sex or not.

The law allows for either life without parole or death, but he can only be sentenced to death if the jury unanimously agrees to it for at least one victim. He will receive a sentence for each victim, so he can technically be sentenced to life without parole for some victims and death for others.

who cares how he feels or not.

I'm only for the death penalty in instances where it's 100% guilt with zero question... and when that's the case, I want it to happen immediately.

Drag this dude out, shoot him in the head, and bury him in an unmarked grave.

Neither of them have been charged with hate crimes, but they're both screwed either way.

No I think that too

But this means you should change your answer.

I'm not talking about him.

I'm just saying that everyone seems to agree that death is a harsher punishment when I'd MUCH rather be put to death in a year than know I have several more decades in the same building.

Burn all of these mass shooters alive. Might cause a few of them to pause before deciding to give it a shot

It would be harder for us. We have to pay for feeding, housing, guarding, etc.

Life is cheaper than death

Death penalty costs more because of appeals and lawyers' fees, as well as special housing.

The opposite of what he wants. If he wants to die, make him rot. If he wants to live, end him on the people's terms

I cannot fathom how the families and friends could sit there for four months for this jury trial on punishment.

He wants to live, since last October, he offered to plead guilty to all charges in exchange for 34 consecutive life sentences without parole (seventeen counts of first degree murder and seventeen counts of first degree attempted murder), but the state rejected his offer, so he pled guilty without an agreement and is hoping for his lawyers to get him life instead of death.

Sorry, wrong shooter. And how sad is it to say that.

The one from Buffalo is being charged with a hate crime.
