A jury has sentenced Robert Bowers for the 2018 attack - the deadliest antisemitic attack in the US.

    Will it cost taxpayers more to kill him, or let him sit in a cell until he dies? Hint: option 1 is more expensive.

    Also, you are literally the first comment.

      If he did not have the death sentence, he would be protected in prison by the racist white extremist population in there, in fact he would live a comfortable and safe life in prison because his racist peers in there would celebrate him and provide for him.

      Fuck that, and fuck you for defending him. Kill that antisemitic piece of shit yesterday. I’ll do it myself for free.

        You’re out of pocket. Nobody is defending this asshole, and you’re delusional if you think prison is comfortable for anyone. This prick won’t be getting executed any time soon; he will sit in prison for years regardless, tying up court resources appealing his execution during that time.

        He may not be mentally ill, but perhaps you need a check up.

          Thank you for that comment. I legitimately made an appointment for a mental health counselor a few months from now.

          I realize that this is the thoughts of a psychopath, but there must be people out there who do not feel a remote level of remorse killing other human beings who have been convicted criminals that cannot be rehabilitated and would enjoy satiating a primal need.

          I enjoy living in a safe and considerate society, and take care of my elderly neighbors and family, I call my friends when they feel ill, yet I also enjoy the thoughts of murdering pedophiles and serial killers as a strange justified bloodlust.

          I understand we all like to think most people want live in a peaceful and caring society, but to put it bluntly there are many people out there who do not give a fuck about any of that and enjoy seeing suffering to make themselves feel better. Having limp-wrist peace-and-love rose-tinted glasses pacifists are not going to protect you from those monsters.

        It all depends on the circumstances of prison. Take him somewhere where there are no gangs getting to him. Handle him correctly, but with zero empathy,no goodwill,no good behaviour, nothing. There is zero comfort, zero safety beyond the rules of the institution.

        It is absolutely possible to make that happen - and the US does a mighty fine job at it in the more advanced institutions like Florence from what I hear.

        Real life is no prison movie,mate.

        The real risk is that the orange is pardoning him if he gets to power …
