I don't know what percentage give up but it is not all of them. I know they need to die, absent a viable defense. Overcrowded prisons and all you know! Seriously, of all death penalty cases I believe these are the most deserved and the least likely to result in a false conviction. PS Do you realize this law already existed and was simply under a moratorium?

It is not a deterrent and it's use is for revenge rather than justice.

He just wants the thin end of the wedge pushing in to federal law, before you know it their will be gallows in the court house and anything and everything will be a capital crime most probably including new laws against talking funny and looking a bit foreign.

You actually pay attention to what comes out of that idiot's mouth?

Killing is wrong, no matter who does it.

if someone takes a life on purpous they deserve it right back. why pay shit loads of money to keep them in a concrete room?

I believe in an eye for an eye. Taking someone’s life is among the worst crimes ever. If you deliberately go around killing innocent people, you should die.

The death penalty has proven to be useless as deterrent of crimes. The root of the problem is the over 350M arms that Amerikkka owns, more guns than people! It's the politicians who are bitches of the NRA lobby. If as the NRA says, guns are not the problem because good people with guns make this country safe, I ask why is it then that Amerikkka is not the safest country in the world, if we own more arms than all the other countries of the world put together???

When we have video evidence, multiple witnesses to the point of removing all doubt, they should be immediately and publicly lined up against the wall in front of a firing squad, and executed. They should also be excoriated by the press . . . . . these mass shootings would end very quickly. If the dead could speak, you can bet they would not be so charitable.

My thoughts exactly. But the drastic solution applied by Idi Amin in Uganda worked wonders.
The army shot thieves on sight, then left the bodies lying where they had fallen until nightfall before collecting them. Any that were found to still be alive were taken to hospital and treated.
Once there was a good stock of thieves who had survived, they were distributed to towns and cities all over Uganda, and at 2pm on the appointed day every single one was, in public, shot by firing squad.
Unsurprisingly, theft ceased to be a problem!
Drastic, I know, but ....... ??

My major problem with the death penalty is the government gets lots of things wrong. However in the case where there is a mass shooting, you have many many witnesses, and the probability they will convict and execute the wrong person is extremely small, so I'm OK with it for mass shooters.

Agree wholeheartedly

Overall, I can not support the death penalty. For anyone. I also do not believe in mass incarceration.

They must die.

But all that those guys want is to die for the cause.
if for miracle they are not killed during action, they will love to use th many public apparitions and trials to speak up and spread the message before dying.
