      As someone who’s anti death penalty for any case, I’d prefer we waste money on incarcerating people if we must, rather than risk killing the wrong person. People have made entire careers out of justifying why an (usually) innocent person has to die, using a lot of junk science (bite mark, hair, thread analysis, a lot of CSI stuff is absolute bullshit or at least no better than 50/50).

          Still the same thing. While you may rightly claim mass murder/terrorism is worse than singular murder, the same logic applies. Why should we waste time and process on this vile person, and what if we made a mistake?

        The death penalty is nothing more than “mob justice” if you ask me. I still think pedophiles like some of our politicians should get the guillotine because they make me sick, but hell even a murderer I wouldn’t want death penalty for.

          Pedophilie doesn’t inherently equal child predator. People who are attracted to children should be able to get help so they don’t become a child predator.
