hostage situation in Aurora

[Pancho Villa]

no im saying that bastards like him dont deserve all the attention and bs that they get from the legal system. we have corrupted the system to an extent that there are no quick trials anymore, then we spend years allowing them to appeal and live off the government bettering themselves while they spend the rest of their lives in jail. when in his case he did it tough shit your done.

That is why I said the optimal solution is a dead bad guy on the scene with no harmed good guys or girls.

If you want to take away the appeals process in case of murder, well...I'm sorry, that's a really dumb idea. There are already a ton of people convicted of very serious crimes on flimsy evidence that got all the way through the appeals process and were only much later exonerated through things like the innocence project: http://www.innocenceproject.org/

You can never get the years back, of course, but the idea of murdering innocent people because "well, being sure takes too long and costs too much" sounds like emotion, not reason, talking.

I have a lot of serious problems with the way our justice system is set up and run, anyway, making it "more streamlined and cheaper" is going to make that way worse.

Just going to say I called it.

The death penalty isn't a deterrent because the gallows aren't across the street from the court room. We've created an entire system to house criminals instead of weeding them from society. Who gives a shit about the death penalty.. you spend 10 years in trial.. then another 30 before you're executed. You get to write books and the lot.. Sure the surroundings are confining but you get to be lazy and not do shit.
