Does this make sense to you?

Actually, it costs less to house an inmate for life then it does to try and kill him, because of all the appeals and stuff. Oh, and he has to be perfectly healthy before they can execute him, weird huh?

I'm with you on this one. I would want him to suffer and serve his time but I also think that we are wasting time and money on someone who doesn't deserve or appreciate it. That money could go towards children in the schools, healthcare, shelter because they have no where to go. Battered women and childrens homes and this guy is taking that away from the ppl that have harmed no one. To me that is not fair. Plus I also think that if a person wants to take their own life then that is their right. God gave us free will to do what we want with it and I don't think any human has the right to tell another person they have to live on this earth. What if he can't live with what he's done and he's repented and wants to be where he sent the others? Anyway I got off topic. No we should not move heaven and earth to house a killer. They are not really suffering in those places as the should anyway. I know some criminals who prefer to be in the and repeatedly get into trouble because the can't deal with life on the outside and conform to the rules. THey feel taken care of.

Why? Because we are not barbarians. We pride ourselves for being humaine and making laws to respect and protect. If we just let people, in any condition or situation, die and kill them ourselves then we are no better they are. The victim's family can and will have closure when things come to their end. I firmly believe that if we start letting things go a foul then we are no better than the people we have sent our young men and women off to fight against. And, if we start letting things go and not move the earth to save lives, no matter how pathetic these people may be, then we are no better than the guy himself.

Well, I heard that when we use capital punishment, it actually costs more. I think that anyone who is doing the whole going out in public and shooting people thing, then trying to kill themselves, obviously is not all that well and could use a hand. But let's face it, people like this are never going to live a normal and productive life. I wish they would. All we could do is watch our friends and children and families and make sure everyone is okay. If someone is an outcast and very angry, it's usually pretty obvious. But once they shoot, I don't think there's any hope left for them. I would rather they be put out of their miserable, disturbed life so we can better watch everyone else and prevent this.
