capital punishment

so OTTD what's your opinion on executing people and/or the way we execute people in america

should we still do it? or is it a colossal waste of resources? etc. etc.

kill people but dont spend too much money on it spend about as much money on it as the people they killed if they shot someone shoot them if they beat someone with a shovel beat them with a shovel

'i feel like that might get a bit complex when you have dudes like timothy mcveigh who blew up a building with about seven thousand pounds worth of explosive material

fuckin simple shove c4 up their uerethra and drop them out of a plane aiming at an isis hideout, when he hits detonate

depends on the crime tbh

sometimes option added

be killed if they killed someone or did something that mentally or physically impair them for the rest of their life (rape/mutilation)

no, unless you can make the argument that that's the only way to neutralize the threat

and this would be y'know a repeated criminal and prison escape artist

so basically 'no'

on a very related note Dylann Roof got the death penalty today

What happens when you shoot up a fucking church

i bet they didn't even try therapy on him

therapy and medicine doesn't always work though

oh yeah i bet they could have given therapy to the 9 he attacked for the ptsd they must be suffering

oh right they cant because they're fucking dead

i'm aware i'm just saying especially given we're dealing with south carolina here that they probably didn't even consider it

dylan roof doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would be receptive to it i get that but it was probably never even tabled

like they could try therapy for 50 years but at what cost? what's the probability he'll escape and shoot up another church? why do it without any guarantees at all? i'd get it if the verdict was to kill him but it doesn't seem like they made any effort at all to save him just straight to the gallows for him because he did something politically charged

if you go into a building and murder several people in cold blood and show 0 remorse for it you kind of forfeit your right to things like therapy

there it is again

jesus fuck
heres the thing
he killed Nine
Fucking
People

it doesn't matter if he was a fucking nazi or a trap running goon, coked out of his mind or with schizophrenia
letting him live the rest of his life in prison would be mercy compared to his actions, a hell of a lot of mercy he showed the niggers he killed

want to take a month or two to diagnose and rehab him so he can know the full well extent on what he did wrong and why he should feel sorry for his dispicable actions?
sure, whatever, make his last days filled with regret and agony if you want but there is no justifiable reason for letting him live. by killing those 9 people he said his life was worth all 9 of them, and that's not right no matter how you slice it

Flammarcos wrote:i bet they didn't even try therapy on him

he wanted to start a fucking race war that's not someone who therapy is going to work on

"i know this guy shot and murdered nine black americans including a standing state senator in an attempt to start a violent, race based uprising in america, but hey, give peace and love a chance!" - FD

dumb as fuck

yeah especially if he tried it alone

you realize murderers have gone on to live normal lives before right

you can't look at this like math mac b. the deed is already done, if dylan did change there'd be no reason to kill him any more. it wouldn't bring those people back

yeah those sorts of murderers don't generally want to start a fucking race war

do most murderers want to start a race war

freedom after 9 accounts of murder isn't fucking justice
