All Capital Offense crimes should be tried twice
Once at an appropriate local court
Once again, using seasoned Judges, Lawyers, and Jurors
at a state or national level

If Innocent, release
If Guilty, no more appeals...

They said, for hours yesterday, 14 transported to hospital. Not sure if they all lived or not.

Double jeopardy should preclude that kind of nonsense.

In saner times, he would have already been hanged.

The benefit in taking him alive is the ability to wring every last thought in his mind out of him. The CIA can usually do this in about 24 hours. As soon as the onsite Intel Judge declares the well to have run dry, stop his heart and take out the trash.

That option, Death Penalty, should be applied whenever and wherever the action taken was considered and intended.

The talk shows are busy blaming guns and milking the incident when they should be furthering the need for student security.

In this facilities case their security system should be brought to public discussion particularly if this school was a so called “gun free zone” which prohibited security from having guns. Plus records reporting how student altercations and petty thefts which are bound to occur were being dealt with.

Because in an educational unit this size it’s pretty clear their security system failed. In a secure system Cruz would have never gotten inside.

In France back in the day (1970s before it was banned)
If the person is guilty..He/she gets a one time appeal which last about 6 months to a year...If the appeal is denied by the Judge. The person is executed the next day around 4 in the morning...Oh and they bring the Guillotine to you.That was the method of execution.

“They said, for hours yesterday, 14 transported to hospital. Not sure if they all lived or not.”

Why aren’t the injuries being reported, including critical vs serious? Did the shooter just walk up and made sure he eliminated each target?

Concur.

IMO, all death-row appeals should be given priority on the docket. The faster they are exhausted, the faster Justice can prevail.

Sorry, but too much govt = too many Laws = slow/no Justice.

One only need to ref. the Bundy trial to see how govt ‘millstones’ those it wishes to make an example; and Comey, Lynch, etc. those it wishes to protect.

Perhaps, in about 25 years. Will certainly deter any such future massacres:

He will probably be getting Social Security checks before he is executed. In this case,where there is no doubt about his guilt, this Christmas should be his last and he should publically hanged.

Then he’ll sit in prison for the next 20 years before he’s put to death

Yesterday someone on FR posted his voter registration as Democrat and showed him wearing a red T-shirt with a hammer and sickle and images of Marx and other Communist heroes.

He, and all of the shooters should be put to death, and it should not take 30 years to do. They should have a court trial and it should be over.

Yes, an armed society is typically a peaceful society.
