To me, I have no issue with the death penalty- given: 1) the heinousness of the crime shows a complete lack of respect for life- killing people you dont know, on purpose, unprovoked (proves to me you are unfit to live in society,( we put down "mad" dogs, I have no problem putting down horrendous human beings) 2) Proven beyond a shadow of a doubt in a court of law I would also Limit the appeal process- must be executed within 5 years of guilty verdict- reduces overall burden/costs of taxpayers etc. The parkland shooter meets this criteria.

If people are completely against the death penalty, I get it. I don't agree but I also can wrap my head around that sentiment at least. I'm having a much harder time understanding how you can be for it in some cases, but not think a murderer of 17 children qualifies.

The only thing that I can think of is, they may be claiming he is insane and incapable of being responsible for his actions- to which I would retort, Then he wont know we are killing him for it. If a person shows themself to be unfit to live amongst society, without killing people, then I dont feel the need to keep them alive.

School gunman had AR-15-style weapon, 600 rounds of ammo MICHAEL PHILLIS and JIM SALTER Tue, October 25, 2022 at 11:34 AM ST. LOUIS (AP) — The 19-year-old gunman who killed a teacher and a 15-year-old girl at a St. Louis high school was armed with an AR-15-style rifle and what appeared to be more than 600 rounds of ammunition, Police Commissioner Michael Sack said Tuesday. Orlando Harris also left behind a hand-written note offering his explanation for the shooting Monday at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School. Tenth-grader Alexandria Bell and 61-year-old physical education teacher Jean Kuczka died and seven students were wounded. Police killed Harris in an exchange of gunfire. Sack read Harris' note in which the young man lamented that he had no friends, no family, no girlfriend and a life of isolation. In the note, he called it the "perfect storm for a mass shooter.” Sack said Harris had some ammo strapped to his chest, some in a bag, and other magazines were found dumped in stairwells. The attack forced students to barricade doors and huddle in classroom corners, jump from windows and run out of the building to seek safety. One terrorized girl said she was eye-to-eye with the shooter before his gun apparently jammed and she was able to run out. Several people inside the school said they heard Harris warn, "You are all going to die!” Harris, 19, graduated from the school last year. The FBI was assisting police in the investigation. Sack, speaking at a news conference, urged people to come forward when someone who appears to suffer from mental illness or distress begins "speaking about purchasing firearms or causing harm to others.” Relatives of those killed mourned their losses.

The AR-15 and AK-47 are weapons of war, built for the battle field and meant for soldiers. However, the NRA wants civilians to have them so they can kill children in schools.

This is consistent with patterns found in national data on guns recovered by police and reported to ATF. Of course, these are government figures, so you have the out to wring your panties about the source.
