Mike Pence’s Team Propose Quick Execution for Mass Shooters
New York Post ^ | September 2, 2019 | Nikki Schwab

Posted on 09/02/2019 12:04:46 PM PDT by livius

The Department of Justice has drafted legislation that would expedite capital punishment for those found guilty of mass killings, according to a top Trump administration official.

Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff Marc Short told reporters Monday that the veep’s policy team has been working with Attorney General William Barr on the death penalty bill, which will likely be part of a larger gun control package the White House will try to sell to Congress amid a wave of shooting massacres, including the latest rampage in Texas that killed seven people.eVice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff Marc Short told reporters Monday that the veep’s policy team has been working with Attorney General William Barr on the death penalty bill, which will likely be part of a larger gun control package the White House will try to sell to Congress amid a wave of shooting massacres, including the latest rampage in Texas that killed seven people.

This is the only thing that will stop nutcases from going out and killing Americans. Swift punishment, no media exaltation followed by three hots and a cot for the rest of their lives.

With only one exception I can think of, either the police take care of that or the shooter himself does that. So how will another law deter any future shooter?

> We now have DNA testing use it across the board to make sure we are executing the right person for the crime. <

I read a story awhile back (in Readers Digest) about this drunk guy who was arrested for a murder. The guy was too drunk to remember where he was on the day in question. But his DNA was found on the victim. And so the drunk guy was arrested for the murder.

It turns out that paramedics had examined the drunk. And some of the drunk’s DNA got on the paramedics. Later that same day, those same paramedics responded to the murder. And some of the drunk’s DNA was transferred from the paramedics to the murder victim.

The drunk guy was totally innocent. That was a rare occurrence, to be sure. But it’s something to think about.

Quick execution for mass shooters would play into the hands of the Deep State. It’s better that they’re kept alive for the information to share about what their motivation was and who gave them assistance. An example (FWIW) I thought Tim McVeigh was executed too quickly, possibly to bury forever information about who or what motivated him in that bombing.

A part of a larger Gun Control Package. Ludicrous. Our prez and his admin are hellbent on keeping only criminals and governments armed. Not. Just. No.

It doesn’t matter. Working alone a Seal team six operator could not clear a building full of people determined to take him down. You can only look, move and shoot in one direction at a time. This leaves all other angles open for attack. One man even with a gun is no match for a crowd of determined people

I say we start executing the media too, for giving these shooters all the publicity they want.

These are copy-cat crimes that the media is fueling by the wall-to-wall coverage of each and every one of them, doing profile interviews and more.

Want to stop this nonsense? Start executing the media too. They're promultating it.

expedite ?

Like how do politicians define expedite?

Anything over 24 hours will never get done.

How about 30 seconds then BOOM!

How about instead of creating new laws we enforce current ones. Politicians always want to do new stuff instead off working on the basics.

Many of these shooters ultimately kill themselves before capture.

Yes and prove themselves to be the cowards they really are.

They only go on shooting sprees where they won't be killed on the spot the moment they start.

Everyone should at the very least carry a knife at all times.

Am I wrong? Did he solve mass murder with ry he bumpstock ban? When only criminals and governments have guns.. it is chicago on every street. Then much worse.
You gun grabbers have to stick together.
Would you say the same if obama propsed all of this or are you just another gop party pimp.
Trumps constant disregard for the 2 amendment is your thing, but I am strongly opposed, regardless of your opinion.
I dont care who infringes.. it is priciple over party.

Your tagline notes Ephesians 6... And what does Ephesians 6 say... the 'war' is not of flesh and blood. Spiritual wickedness in 'high' places. Your principle is bash President Trump no matter what.

You loosely accuse without foundation... Might want to stay off 'social media' mental health issues certainly be at play.

Nitrogen Hypoxia - guaranteed quick and painless, your body doesn’t react as if it was a cyanide or carbon monoxide poisoning as nitrogen is an inert gas.

My only fear is that Pence won’t get on with it. As I said, I don’t care whether the killers are leftists, Islamists, ecofreaks, rightists or just plain loonies. They need to be dealt with promptly and finally.

There is never any doubt about their guilt. Try them immediately before the press can start to defend them (if they’re leftists or Muslims or crazy). It would be a short trial because most of the time there are photos of them doing their killing. And then execute them.

It will cut down on the shootings - or even knife and bomb attacks - but it’s got to be fast and efficient.

Everybody needs to support this. Perhaps there should be a special statute for mass killings?

"... legislation that would expedite capital punishment for those found guilty of mass killings"

The legislation should include a reference to a "wood chipper."

I’m for it especially these days when video footage removes all doubt about the shooter.

That said, I’m glad to hear that the shooters are being taken out by LE or armed citizens such as the TX church shooting some time back.

That’s the problem with it and other reasonable proposals PDJT will make in these negotiations: the DemonShits will agree to nothing short of ultimate, total confiscation, especially while PDJT is President. Hence, there’s likely to be little or no legislation.

That's right. They are showing their hand that they are not interested in stopping mass shootings but are really interested in complete gun confiscation.

THANKS for the comment, though I know NOTHING about execution by nitrogen.- I do know that HELIUM works painlessly, as it is used for “assisted suicide” OCONUS.

Btw, a great many of us wild & rebellious TEXICANS see “lethal injection” as “UN-Texan”, even if it did NOT have so many potential problems.

Yours, TMN78247

Long ago as a kid I wondered about “the right to a speedy trial” because all the criminals tried to delay as long as they could (your honor my client’s requested documents are not yet available so may we ask for another delay), and then death row entailed decades of delay later. The thugs outlived all the judges and witnesses on our dime.

Get the thing done.
