How many do you have to kill?

[1Cane]

 Nicholas Cruz shot and killed 17 people. If there ever was a case for someone to be executed after killing unarmed civilians, this is the one. All of these murders occurred on a school ground which is a gun free zone. So, my question is how many you have to kill before you earn the death penalty?

didn't a guy killed a couple, shed some tears and went home?

If it was you, would you prefer death or living some 50 or so years in prison?

You will rarely find a death row inmate who chooses death over life imprisonment.  It happens occasionally, but most people want to hang on as long as they can.  No matter where they're residing.

As a young lawyer (yes, I know, way back when), I was surprised to see how many people are quite comfortable in prison.

Some people prefer the regimented lifestyle behind bars.

Shooting and killing 17 people shouldnt even have the option of life in prison. The only punishment available should be immediate execution.

Same for people that murder someone and claim they are retarded and shouldnt be punished. If a retard kills someone, they are just as guilty as someone that is not retarded. And mentally insane is the same as mentally retarded.

If that doesn't get the death penalty nothing will...

Brain dead jurors bought the drunk mother while pregnant brain damage bs and voted for life

The victims families are very upset

The world is a sheet show these days...1 hour of news proves that daily

When my father owned a dairy, we kept a loaded rifle to shoot coyotes or dogs that went after our cows or calf's. It was our job and lively hood to care and protect the herd. I don't hate dogs as long as they don't harm the herd but when they do, they must be destroyed. The same goes for society as long as you don't harm someone live in peace, when you kill a member justice must be harsh and fatal to the offender!

Heck we are going the other way...see crap hole Chicago for where some want to go

Yep its going to get bad here. Criminals are not allowed to be punished for their crimes. I can not say anything more because the certain select few people here will report me for speaking the truth

There's an argument to be made for releasing non-violent offenders, but of course they took that simple concept and the next thing you know they are releasing criminals awaiting trial with no bail who pistol-whip women on the subway, then releasing them aGAIN so they can murder people

My personal opinion is the parkland shooter should be put down. Given the system we have in place that means year upon years of expensive to tax payer appeals before the sentence is executed. That also allows the appeals to end up reducing the time in prison depending on judges who are also "liberal activists". Why this guy got life without parole, I do not know. I assume since the families are upset that there was a death penalty option but do not know the instructions given to the jurors.

For me, I have found that true evil does exist in this world and the only way to conclusively protect the society from an identified evil person such as this shooter is to remove him from existence. There is a 100% chance that he will not re-offend or endanger anyone in that case. Every other sentence option cannot maintain the same claim. When in custody, escape is always a possibility, as is sentence reduction / parole / pardon even for life without parole. Governors and presidents do stupid things at times at the end of their term.
