Good. You’re consistent. I’m not sure that the death penalty would vastly reduce murders, as most are crimes of passion done in the heat of the moment, and therefore not subject to contemplation of the consequences.

But I do know that the recidivism rate of executed murderers is zero...

...and definitively removing people who cannot control their rage from the gene pool is probably a good plan too!

The media loves talking about these guys because it’s good for ratings. Mass shootings are increasing like crazy the last 30 years while all other gun crime is down massively. The reason is media coverage and infamy.

Hmmmmm. I wonder if they could get the same ratings boosts by mocking and parodying and making the shooters an object of ridicule?

That certainly would take the charm out of the infamy...

To be fair, MyLife.com allows anyone (including you and me) to request a profile to be scrubbed from the website. This could’ve been someone in his family, the police, or just some random Joe/Jane who didn’t want to give him notoriety for other mass shooters to replicate.

Here’s a guide by CBS DFW affiliate on how to do that:

What turned into the anti-Trump coup started well before the 2016 election, so the rise in laissez-faire policing was coincident, in my mind.

Agreed. It also strikes me as just. Forcing taxpayers to spend $40k/yr for the rest of their life is also cruel.
