Shooting in Aurora, Colorado - Page 46

i mean that society would allow us to perform the execution. tbh, i consider it a natural right of mankind to be allowed to execute criminals who engage in acts of mass destruction/mayhem.

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?

Quite surprising that you read all these reports about people who commit acts like these, and they were a child/student "who you would never think would do such a thing".

Funny that.

My heart goes out to all those who were affected by this horrible incident.

Edit: Media sources shouldn't have to do some "strict" procedure or anything when it comes to verifying sources during an event like this. Someone should just not be a fucking no brain idiot and not ring up "for the sake of it" to "show how easy it is to get on the phone to the news". Makes you wonder if he paid someone so he could be that much of an idiot.

if he suicides himself or if death penalty would allow death by suicide, no one would be to blame, no 'new' crimminals will be born.
...but i guess that wont be good either 'cause: what about the revenge?

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.

Why call it "revenge" and not "justice"?

because 'justice' is subjective.
revenge (or pity) is the one that satisfies peoples ego, that gives them closure. justice, in this case, is just something to hide behind.

And I know the counter argument that always follow... But there is little point in even bringing up the issue of doubt about guilt. Is anyone, including the killer, disputing his guilt in this case?

I remember the shooting in Arizona when Rep. Giffords got shot, so many in the media were jumping over the idea that Sarah Palin and Tea Party groups had inspired that violence. With this scenario, we have a similar situation, some crazy asshole shoots up a bunch of people, yet this guy is dressed like a character from the movie that is playing, tells the cops he is the 'Joker' upon his arrest, and maybe I've missed it, but nobody has made a single reference to the movie contributing in any way. It would be very different if it was a Michael Moore production wherein someone dressed as Sarah Palin came in shooting, yelling 'You Betcha' repeatedly.

Situations aren't similar at all. Gabby Giffords was targeted, and seeing as she's a liberal politician, it isn't a stretch to say the shooting was politically motivated. Do you think it wasn't?

This on the other hand, seems completely random. A batman-obsessed wannabe comic book villain.

The cinema? How is the cinema culpable at all?

Only if under our laws, he's considered "legally insane" and therefore not legally responsible for his actions ...
