The guy killed 6 people, they feed him tranquilisers for 6 months and then decide to let him live.

He needs to be executed and soon.

The death penalty is not a deterrent because we so seldom use it and wait 20 years to do it.

California has 600 on death row who will die a natural death long before they are executed.No wonder it isn’t a deterrent.

That’s kind of what I meant when I said Justice is lacking in this country. If it were implemented swiftly particularly in clear cut cases such as this I believe it would be a good deterent.....as it is they just offer you free room and board and celebrity status for the rest of your life on the tax payers dime.

No, it wasn't about the 6 killings. Actually this was only federal charges so involved only violence done to federal employees. The state can try and execute him for other deaths.

You're well behind on CA's death row tally. There's 724 waiting total, 20 are females. You're right that it can't be a deterrent in CA as the sentences aren't carried out. There's folks from the Carter years still waiting for their execution date and it's now more than 60 years to clear Death Row at a rate of one per month with no added persons.
