Murder Charge Dropped For Teen Accused Of Decapitating Mother "Because I Felt Like It" I have always believed that if someone is "nuts", that is all the more reason they need to be executed if they commit a horrific crime.

Gee,
That’s right up there with Edwin Emil Kemper III shooting his grandparents: “Just to see what it felt like”.

EVERY murderer is crazy, because there is NEVER a sane, rational train of thought that leads you to murder another person.
To: DiogenesLamp; All
Exactly!
When has murder been considered a sane act?

From the scene in "Starship Troopers" by Robert Heinlein, shortly after a child-killer is executed by hanging:
That night I tried to figure out how such things could be kept from happening. Of course, they hardly ever do nowadaysbut even once is way too many. I never did reach an answer that satisfied me. This Dillinger he looked like anybody else, and his behavior and record couldnt have been too odd or he would never have reached Camp Currie in the first place. I suppose he was one of those pathological personalities you read aboutno way to spot them.
Well, if there was no way to keep it from happening once, there was only one sure way to keep it from happening twice. Which we had used.
If Dillinger had understood what he was doing (which seemed incredible) then he got what was coming to him. .. except that it seemed a shame that he hadnt suffered as much as had little Barbara Anne he practically hadnt suffered at all.
But suppose, as seemed more likely, that he was so crazy that he had never been aware that he was doing anything wrong? What then?
Well, we shoot mad dogs, dont we?
Yes, but being crazy that way is a sickness
I couldnt see but two possibilities. Either he couldnt be made well in which case he was better dead for his own sake and for the safety of othersor he could be treated and made sane. In which case (it seemed to me) if he ever became sane enough for civilized society. .. and thought over what he had done while he was sickwhat could be left for him but suicide? How could he live with himself?
And suppose he escaped before he was cured and did the same thing again? And maybe again? How do you explain that to bereaved parents? In view of his record?
I couldnt see but one answer.
..
I wondered how Colonel Dubois would have classed Dillinger. Was he a juvenile criminal who merited pity even though you had to get rid of him? Or was he an adult delinquent who deserved nothing but contempt?
I didnt know, I would never know. The one thing I was sure of was that he would never again kill any little girls.
That suited me. I went to sleep.

I loved Reagan and thought he was great politician and just what our country needed.
However, the mental health system is non-existent in this country and there are millions of us who are subject to victimization from mentally ill family members who drain us of money and resources, frighten and disgust their siblings and their parents, and their civil rights trump ours. We are left holding the bag to either support these characters in homes of their own (preferable) or living with us (not good), while they spend their time making others weirded out and we get no help from the government. This is an area screaming for government attention. As it is, the so called crisis intervention teams tout the civil rights of the mentally ill as the reason they will not pick them up and get them to a facility. It is bullsh8t.

Locking them up,
like you mean it is apt punishment as far as I'm concerned. You can't undo what they've done. All you can really do is deter the next guy.
Our mental health systems so F'd up. I'm sure the committal process has been abused in the past (such as the Kennedy daughter), but these loons can't be left on the street. There's not a Karl Childers in the bunch
It seems that the psychotics are all known and just quit taking their meds. They have to be tracked on a daily basis in perpetuity. One day off the meds it should be back to the funny farm for awhile.
The ACLU thinks otherwise. There lies the root cause. It's a true bleeding heart liberal mantra.

Definitely illegals.
ICE was able to furnish correct name and spelling of perp.
Neighbor who had lived close by was stunned, saying family moved in early June.
Mom, besides having the 18yr old, also had children 14, 4 & 2 (2 &4 must be her anchor babies)!
Others showed up at the home and removed family belongings but wouldnt speak to neighbors (guess they didnt speak English well enough to communicate!)

“because I felt like it,”
So if someone feels like robbing a bank, kidnapping a person, writing a bad check, taking illegal drugs, abusing another person, or any other crime, they should be deemed insane, and committed, rather than tried for the crime?

I served on a jury for a murder trial. The testimony was that the murderer told his friends that he would show them how easy it was to kill someone (a passed out homeless man on church steps). What convicted him was the video in the police interrogation room where he told his mother that he did it.

The hand-wringers of the Left are moaning about gthe availability of guns causing such tragedies as the Las Vegas massacre. Wrong approach. The soft on criminals approach that they’ve inflicted on this country is a major cause of the problem. The death penalty justly but speedily applied,while not the only solution,will help reduce violent crime.
