Was wondering where or what Pence has been doing for awhile now

Leftist panties in a bunch over this one. Death is reserved for babies, not killers.

50% of shooters die during their attack. I dont think chance of execution is going to deter them.

True, but at least they're proposing solutions that could be a real deterrent to some, and not focusing on additional bans on guns. This is a win..

I don't see it as a deterrent, but as a cost savings for the taxpayer. No need to pay for those scum to continue wasting our good air. I'd prefer if they were all dealt with on the scene, but this is better than nothing.

I think we should bring back public executions in general and apply them liberally.

Get the express lane going!
Should be that way for all death row inmates.

The same people screaming for gun control are/will be screaming that this is cruel and unusual.

Its proven that the death penalty doesn't provide measurable deterrence. But, it makes more sense than most other .gov programs, so I'm good with it.

If they get a life sentence rather than the death penalty, it costs us tax payer a fortune to house and feed them. And taking 20 years for a death penalty case to work its way through the court system cost us a bloody fortune.
What happened to a speedy trial? And then prompt execution?

Hang em in the square, like the old west,
Or a public stoning, like Richard Ramirez got when cornered,
Or send them to Rehabilitation, Idiocracy style.

I've got to agree with public executions on these, and fast. Removing the "rock star for a day" factor in these kinds of acts is crucial to reducing their frequency, crying at the gallows might work for some of them. Short of media cooperation, which we'll never get, I don't see how to stop the aggrandizing that happens when one of these nutballs hurts a lot of innocent people. They like to blame the weapon, but the media is turning these people into public darlings every single time.

This is true, but we save a lot of tax money!

I don't see deterrence as a proper use for a death penalty. It should be treated as an admission that "this is a person that we will have zero chance to reintegrate into society. If we kill an offender to send a message, I would consider that unjust. Death should be used when a person is irrecoverable. Extension to that, I think the death penalty should have a higher burden of proof than ordinary sentences. We've had way too many death row inmates exonerated.

On the other hand, when it is proven beyond the shadow of a doubt...the whole dying of old age thing waiting for your sentence to be carried out? That's a problem. I wish I could remember the name, but there's a serial killer with multiple death sentences still around 20 years after the sentence was handed down.

There must be public humiliation and execution for there to be the possibility of a deterrence.

All there family. It works for Islam.

It sure as heck has deterred Ted Bundy!

Even if it doesn't deter, certainly reduces repeat offences.

There is no "fast track" death penalty, even in Republican controlled states. The average death row inmate in Republican controlled Texas is there for 10.87 years. This is hot air generated to get headlines.
