This is a tragic event. Let's not derail the thread with a gun control debate. Posts from page 9 onward will be moderated for steering the discussion towards gun control. |

???
Are you trolling? Nothing ever happens in grocery stores? Nothing ever happens in theaters either! It's not like this is a common occurrence. If the shooter had picked a grocery store it's not like your security guards would have done much. I just don't understand how the theater could be in any way held to any degree of culpability.
No one expects theaters to have real security or for there to be any demand for it. If anything it would frighten me more if we had it.

The guy was seriously fucking insane. I'm 100% on board for the death penalty. You shot 70 people and kill 12 of them and leave another 38 in the balance of life and death, i dont feel like you deserve to breathe the air on this planet.

And then she died from this one. Fuck. Yep... Definitely not the luckiest person.
Holy wat the ...... That is soooooo terrible. I'm not even sure how I'm suppose to feel if that was true.

would you mind killing him yourself? would you mind getting executed after that for killing a man? do you think it will prevent something like this happening again?
why not just lock him up and spend the rest of his days to evaluate his mind so we can find the cause of these kinds of horrific acts.

I cannot begin to fathom what is going on in this guy's mind. I doubt he was targeting anyone in particular in the theater. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

You mean send him to a mental hospital? Lol dont belive some people. This guy deserves to die, end of. Wish we had death penalty in the UK for situations like this.

i wouldn't mind throwing the switch, no.
would i mind getting executed? are you serious? of course i would mind getting executed for performing a legal execution...
yes.
meh, we can study other people's minds... (actually that just sounds weird, i don't like the whole "lets do science experiments on people!" thing)

If anything it would frighten me more if we had it. As I mentioned earlier, if this theater had experienced a series of criminal events that threatened the safety of its patrons and still failed to implement any reasonable security measures, then the theater would be held culpable under Colorado law. The case that imposed this rule concerned a Taco Bell.

i just want to know what gives you the right to hand out death penalties and how that would prevent something like this happening again.

You kind of lose the right to live when you mass murder people.
Probaly wouldnt stop it happening again (i know what would though but wont talk about it here) but if people like him are getting sent to mental hospitals instead of having the death penalty, other psyco's could be more likely to think about something similier knowing they can get away with it.

Yes lock him up so he can deprive taxes.. There are better things that could be done with the money. I am a pacifist and all that but this guy definetally deserves the death switch. The only alternative would be to put these people who don't belong in modern society and let them live by their own facilities in an area that is neglected from our society. And once there they can do w/e tha fucks they want. I would suggest some island far up cold.

In a trial away from public, we wouldn't want him to preach his message and engage with likeminded individuals.

I dont think this will stop psychos, but his execution may be considered justice for the victims.

Yeah that too of course, at least it will give their family's a tiny bit of piece.

Yes! More people in jails! Not like they are overflowing already.

Give him his fair trial then execute him once convicted. No doubt he'll be sent to a mental hospital though and get out after a few years for good behavior and "full recovery."

what do you mean society would give you that right? do you think people hesitate to commit murder not by common sense, but in fear of getting executed?
i doubt a society built on fear ever will have be safer then a society built on understanding, excuse my prejudice but i suspect you live in a religious country.

I really think that they should give like 10 years of redemption time to the prisoners in order for them to prove that they are still capable to contributing to the society with some sort of high school courses studies and/or factory work. And after that, they can be release back if they have done exceptionally well in them by scoring high in them.
If they still wouldn't change their attitude in things, get rid of them. Yes I do mean capital punishment since they are already nuisance to the society.

i think it would help prevent people from doing these kinds of things, yes. they clearly have a warped view of "common sense" anyway, but even a dog is afraid to die.
i doubt that empty rhetoric and nice sounding platitudes are ever going to be a solution for anything. and no i will not excuse your prejudice. if you hold it than go ahead, but the tables can be turned. "i suspect that you live in a relatively secular society, which could explain your misunderstanding of reality".... but then why would i say that when its wildly off-topic and adds nothing to the discussion?

Lol what? giving mass murder's a second chance? jesus where do you people come from.
Not to mention its not hard to change you're attitude when you know you're gonna get released. Espically when they are smart like Holmes apperntly was.
Sorry but what a stupid post.
