  You're completely wrong here. There's a ton of information online that shows how the death penalty in America does nothing to deter crime in states that support the death penalty. It's a cultural thing, not a cause/effect issue. Correlation does not equal causation.
context: But he can still be tried by state of Texas which has death penalty. >
  
  He is gonna be tried by Texas. And they will give him the death penalty. If they don't put him down, oh well, the other inmates will. Even if he's protected by the Aryan Brotherhood, they'll get him sooner or later. >
  
  The current hubbub in El Paso is over the DA screwing up the prosecution of the shooter. I believe she was even forced to resign after all the backlash. El Pasoans want his head, and the local DA wasnt competent enough. >
  
  I'm not a lawyer and somehow I think I could try this case competently. 
  How do you manage to fuck up something as simple as breathing and walking at the same time like this? >

  You think trying a capital murder case is as easy as walking and breathing? That's pretty ignorant. >
  
  On video...with multiple victims...caught with the murder weapon. 
  Damn, real head scratcher as to how to convince a jury this person killed anyone. >
  
  It’s getting that evidence in front of jury that’s mainly important at that point. Sure it sounds outrageous but it is possible to fuck that up, via a multitude of ways requiring severe incompetence but absolutely possible. >
  
  Holy crap I hate that it's so fucking common here I don't even remember this happening. >
  
  It's the one where the gunman orphaned a baby and Trump showed up for a thumbs up photo op with the baby. >
  
  What in the actual fuck is this?! This can’t be real… >
  
  Good. Let the fucker rot for the rest of his life. Always looking over your shoulder. No privacy. Shitty food. >
  
  I’m on the fence. This POS cannot be rehabilitated. Death row costs a shit ton of money. He’s a fucking POS. If anyone is deserving of the death penalty… >
  
  On the one hand, I agree with you. On the other hand, I’m vehemently opposed to the death penalty given how many death row inmates are exonerated by organizations like the Innocence Project… >
  
  Also, giving the government the power to off you is fucking crazy. >
  
  Yup. Legally I don't think the state should have the right to decide who lives or dies. Morally I don't care what happens to this white nationalist filth. >
  
  Considering that mass shooters are just homicidal suicides, that's probably the correct choice. >
  
  They.... actually are? In some cases they definitely see other mass shootings and some definitely get thrills out of seeing the attention that they will get.
  That awful FedEx shooting is one. Had been looking up multiple mass shootings, was found out, but nothing got done. >
  
  This is the right decision. The death penalty should be abolished. Ignoring the whole moral argument around state sponsored killings of guilty people,  we know for a fact that innocent people are killed by the death penalty. The death penalty doesn't prevent crime and it doesn't reverse crimes or suffering that already occured. All it does is ensure innocent people will be executed while awful people continue to do awful things undeterred.
  I know it doesn't feel good but it's the right thing to do. >
  
  this guy is not innocent so your point is moot >
  
  No its still valid... we shouldn't have a death penalty, its not effective >
  
  then why do countries like Singapore have crime rate of 0.21 per 1000 compared to USA 6+ per thousand? >
  
  Incredibly invasive CCTV, strong civic duty without a cultural boner for violence, individualism and celebrity criminals, very hands on families... >
  
  and harsh penalty for crime >
  
  Then all the states where it exists would support you instead of a minority of examples that have hugely conflating factors.
  Most people who go down for crime would be going down if it was a fine or an execution because they're desperate or because they're entitled idiots who can't reflect on how their actions will come back on them. >
  
  isn't it obvious that the stronger the punishment the less the crime?
  for example, if there was NO punishment, then there would be much more crime.
