Dylann Roof Sentenced to Death for Charleston Church Massacre

[Lenonis]

He won, at least in his mind. The only way to get him to think otherwise is a life time alone. Not saying he would like but death is too easy.

You might be right, but I have my doubts that life in prison would do anything other than cement and reinforce is loathsome ideology.

It's too bad we subject our society and justice system to vengeance. Hopefully someday in the future we grow out of it.

He clearly deserved the death penalty. Who is against this?

Me, not seeing much practical purpose in it. It's all personal satisfaction.

[Triggered Fridgekin]

Is this the kind of death row where he'll sponge off taxpayers for like a decade or more before it happens?

The other approach is rehabilitation, which only work son people receptive to it and have the capability for doing so. Roof...is neither of those criteria.

In which case a vengense punishment of life w/o parole or death penalty is appropriate given his crime.

[Espe]

Wonder if the guards will bring him Burger King and other tasty treats in prison?

[Independent voter]

Killing him will not bring back the people he killed, and it will not make people feel better...

Oh yeah it does.

Anders Behring Breivik should be put to death. Every time he surfaces in the news which is about once a year it opens old wounds that all those families of children have.

By killing him, you're erasing him, as well as you can anyways.

[Vizardlorde]

Im ok with this.

Then again, I'm generally ok with the death penalty where the proof is irrefutable.

This is my stance as well. He killed 9 people in cold blood and feels not a shred of remorse and says he'd do it again.

[Theodarzna]

He hasn't asked for a life sentence, and is okay with death. I see no reason to deny the execution.

[Concequence]

It's pretty funny and disturbing how quickly people who preach that death sentences in this day and age are "barbaric," and yet in this case they are reveling in the death of another.

Disgusting and hypocritical, but I expect nothing less from those who do it.

Well if we are going to go this route, lets just drop him slowly into a chipper shredder, Feet first. I mean if we "revel" in death, we might as well go all in. Right?

In all seriousness, his death will be quite easy for him. He will get a nice meal, they will bring him in, and they will inject him with a fluid which will cause his heart to stop. He won't feel a thing, which won't change much for him. Sadly, He defines our country right now... Zero Empathy. Welcome to America.

Or just incarceration, keep him out of society for life. They can perform studies on his psyche, but rehab seem supremely unlikely.

If he prefers execution over life, I'm all for granting that request.

Only if he allows them to perform those tests.

I really rather not turn him into another Manson.

[TwoNineMarine]

Good.

Fuck him.

A Co-Worker of mines wife had family that was killed by this douchebag.

[Orlong]

They shouldve shot him in the head as he left the courtroom. He was proven guilty, admitted he was guilty, sentenced to death so lets do it. But instead we will fart around wasting millions in taxpayer money housing his worthless ass for 30 years while he appeals 50 times. He doesnt deserve any appeals

[sheggaro]

Good riddance.

Think of the poor cleaner.

Good he deserves it.

Regardless, life in prison provides the same practical result. Emotion is the only reason for DP. I'd like to think we passed that, but apparently not.

To give up on emotion is to give up humanity. Thus, it is exceptionally unlikely. I dont see anything wrong with it as long as the process itself is fair and the punishment is not excessive. Death for 9 deaths is not excessive.

[Taeldorian]

People would still remember the day it happened, just like we still remember 9/11. You can just stop giving him airtime which would accomplish a sort of "living" death, which is worse than actual death.

I mean I'm not exactly pro death penalty but the dude killed 9 people in cold blood and said he'd do it over again. I wouldn't want to waste money keeping him in prison especially when he made it clear he feels absolutely no remorse for these people and will do it again if given the chance.

Sorry but since that's Dylanns stance on everything then my stance is pro death for him. He shows no signs whatsoever of being able to change or even wanting to. He shows the exact opposite in fact. Is it justice? Not quite, but it's not worth keeping him locked up either.

Can even ask yourself. He's taken 9 lives away. He's completely devastated those families. Why does he get to continue his? That's not justice either.

I give up on emotion when its justification to kill another. Killing with no practical value.

[Evil Midnight Bomber]

Normally, I'm against the Death Penalty because, even it's just the smallest chance, there is a possibility the person could be innocent.

In this case, I'm not concerned at all about that. The evidence is insurmountable, his confession is authentic, his remorse non-existent. I'm absolutely certain that he deserves to die.

However, I'm still not convinced the state should have the right to execute him.
