We shoot mad dogs, don't we?
This may sound flippant, but fuck, as far as I can see it, there are two other possible options:
1-Life in jail, no parole, which means we pay for these bastards for the rest of their life, and it runs something like 30-40 thousand a year per prisoner, a cost that's only rising...or
2-They get found insane, which means they might get set free, which is crazy. I mean fuck, they snapped once, which means they might snap again. WTF knows? I don't. And while I will admit that sure, there's a possibility that any person could go apeshit, grab a weapon and head to the local McDonalds at any time, these guys, these fuckers did it. And AFAIC, that means they could do it again.
So they should be locked up forever, which takes me back to the first answer
Because otherwise, holy shit, what about the Canadian doctor who killed his two kids, was found to be "insane," then was set free 46 months later?
How bout that shit?
Can you imagine being those kids mother, knowing that maniac is running around loose? Or their grandparents or any other loved ones? Cripes, I would be livid. Where's the justice for them? And where's the justice for those little kids?
And don't think I'm speaking out of my ass here. I served time in prison, real time, in a high security wing where the vast majority of the cons were rapists, armed robbers, and murderers, hard core class 1 felons (Moral of the story-never ever get got doing drugs with a judges daughter). There were some scary SOB's there, true sociopaths, as in the porch light was on but nobody was home. The didn't feel guilt, remorse, scruples, nothing for other human beings. That thing inside of us that separates us from the beasts, that connection to others in society, they didn't have it. And they never were gonna get it...and most, as in every one I met...had zero interest in gaining it.
And the idea that some of these guys were gonna be free, would walk the same streets that my sisters lived on, worked on, drove through-yeah, that freaked me the fuck out.
I walked into prison generally against the death penalty, walked out absolutely for it.
These cats,the ones who grab an AK and a Bane mask and head into a theater, a school, a mall, they need to pay
And don't come crying to me with some false sanctimonious BS about how killing people makes us worse as a society. We live in a culture where we kill people daily in wars, our governments and businesses despoil 3rd world nations,sell weapons to anyone and everyone who can pay, pollute the earth, drive cars that poison the atmosphere,spend trillions on weapon testing, have nuclear reactors that leek into the planet and will burn for thousands of years, support drug companies that perform experiments on people, wear beauty crap that's tested on animals, the list of our crimes goes on and on dwindling into infinity, we couldn't have any less moral authority...so this seems a real silly place to draw a line.
These bastards deserve to die. Society is better off w/o them.And frankly, I don't give a shit about their redemption. I don't give a fuck about them. I care for their victims. I care for the victims families. I care about justice.
So we should just do it. And be fucking quick about it. No Bundyesque years on death row, newspaper interviews, write a book nonsense.
Try em, sentence em, kill em.
