If the death penalty doesn’t work, why did he take the deal?

These mass shootings prove that the police CAN NOT protect you or your loved ones from violence.

You, armed and trained, are the best chance your family has to escape violence. Act accordingly.

You’re asking the wrong question. Nobody who criticizes the death penalty say criminals want to die, they’re saying fear of the death penalty doesn’t stop crime. Of course with Loughner being nuts none of that discussion relates at all.

One thing I HATE about liberals is how they say prison is worse than the death penalty. Well BS. They always fight the DP to the end. Sometimes they’re suicidal before going in, but these people lead relatively cushy lives and they fight endlessly for years to avoid death.

Wait, him taking a deal is now a benefit of the death penalty?

That doesn’t make sense. Generally it is in the interest of society for crimes to go to trial and a full version of events come out in court. In this case, there was no real doubt about the guilt, but still.
