Do they have the death penalty? That would be fitting

They abolished it in 1989

Good. Some cases like this would definitely meet the standards, but even 1 person put to death wrongly is too many. People who do stuff like this deserve to suffer long term for their crimes, not take the easy way out.

I'm with you. And as an aside, the folks clamoring for torture in here are straight up disgusting people.

also it costs more to do the death penalty. and in my opinion is the 'easy way out' for folks like that. i'd rather see him rot for my entire lifetime in jail

Sounds like LWOP is making him pretty miserable. And it's only been a few years.

Imagine him at 80, he's spent 50 years in a cage, he's an old man, he knows every little thing he's missed out on. All the family that may have cared about him are dead. He hasn't had a lover in half a century at least or kids to watch grow up. No having a drink with friends. No going on a vacation, feeling the waves on your feet or seeing something beautiful. No trying something new. No to a lot of things.

The dead don't suffer, only the living.

Much much longer. I would wager his whole life.

Haha, I had that thought too, that's why I said "at least."

However, sometimes these guys do have relationships, especially if they aren't incel shooters and this guy was a racist one.

I think the Vegas shooter had a girlfriend.

We don't even have life in prison, this guy is literally the only person ever to be sentenced with it.
