If proven guilty, I doubt that I could turn the other cheek as well as Mrs. Kirk was able to forgive the suspected shooter...

I'd rather see him rot in prison for the rest of his life.

Upvote as I do respect your opinion, Viking.

I just would not want the guilty party to be living if they were responsible for deliberately taking away the life of another person. It may sound harsh to some, but that is my honest reaction.

Also, the taxpayers footing the bills for a killer of another human being doesn't exactly set right with me either....

I can see why people are for the death penalty, and I respect that. Even if the court decides on the death penalty, before it can be carried out, he'll probably be spending a lot of time behind bars.

If he doesn't carry out his alleged wish to remove himself first.

Here in Taxifornia, it's actually cheaper to sentence them to life without parole. It stops the endless parade of appeals to the sentence.

Regardless, I hope that mans what it says. Life without parole.

If you purchase a product and it turns out to be defective, you return it to the store in exchange for one that works properly. Send him back to the Lord and pray we get a better human in return.

Unfortunately, our press makes such a big deal out of so many crimes. If you ask me, it only inspires copycat criminals. It’s time to change crime reporting to an emphasis on convictions and punishments.
Keep the consequences of misdeeds forefront in potential criminals minds.
