    I've been mad at people before, but not mad enough to do somethi them that will get me electrocuted.
    That's the only thing that keeps your temper in check? If you were reasonably certain that you wouldn't get the death penalty, would you kill people that you're mad at?
    I wouldn't, but other people would.

    Or, more accurately, you imagine that other people would.

    "Nothing violent." After murdering dozens of people, a suspect who turns himself in will have no fear of being electrocuted or shot at.

    If you think that a life in prison for most is not violent, you have not been paying attention.

    I don't think life in prison would be the greatest, but I'm sure it's more fun than electrocution or being penetrated by bullets. Maybe the psychos who are considering a mass-shooting will see/hear about other mass-shooters getting electrocuted, and they will reconsider their options before heading out for the school.

    But without death as a possible penalty, they have all this to look forward to:

    * No retaliation from victims' family members (can't touch me I'm in jail!)
    * Progressive DAs, installed by Georgie, will try not to prosecute
    * More time for exercising
    * Free bologna sandwiches
    * Get your face on the news and become known by the whole world
    * Activist groups will fight for your rights behind bars
    * Make friends with other criminals
    * Slutty women will want to marry you

    Prison doesn't have to be a "death sentence."

    Definitely not the fault of the teacher who left the door open for
    th LL> AT> gunman?

    The teacher was alone, and was a she. She closed the door, thinking
    it would self-lock behind her. The gunman walked right in and shot her dead.

    "Thinking it would self-lock" is stupid. When you're responsible for the
    safety of children, you have to do more than "think the door was locked."

    I have kids. I don't go to sleep saying "I think I locked the door."

    They want suicide by cop and martyrdom.

    Hello Aaron,

    Definitely not the fault of the teacher who left the door open
    for
    th LL> AT> gunman?

    The teacher was alone, and was a she. She closed the door, thinking
    it would self-lock behind her. The gunman walked right in and shot
    her
    dead.

    "Thinking it would self-lock" is stupid. When you're responsible for the safety of children, you have to do more than "think the door was locked."

    She did her best she could to protect herself. Where was school
    security? Non-existent. Where were the local cops? Non-existent.
    What did local cops do once they finally arrived? Not a damned
    thing. For over an hour, those local cops chose to sit on their
    behinds, allowing the shooter to murder 19 children and 2 adults.
    It took Border Control to come in and do the job for them, which
    they did by putting the shooter down.

    I have kids. I don't go to sleep saying "I think I locked the door."

    Assuming and thinking amount to the same thing. She was most likely
    in a state of panic at the time. And who can blame her? A madman armed
    with a loaded assault rifle was chasing after her ...

    For Life,
    Lee

    I get it; teachers' unions help support the Democrat party, so the least we
    can do is defend everything they do/did.

    Which probably means they don't believe they have anything to look forward
    to in life.

    She thought the door was self-locking. That is not the same thing
    as "deliberately leaving the door propped open". But you know that.

    I get it; teachers' unions help support the Democrat party, so the least we

    This has nothing to do with whether or not she was a member of a
    teachers' union. Or what her party affiliation was or may have been.
    The gunman certainly didn't care. Not any more than he did about
    any of the children. All he cared about was killing. And killing.
    And killing ...

    How do you know what she thought? I didn't hear that part of the report, and your cousin Jeff said that the whole "teacher left the door open" thing was bogus news.

    The teacher didn't leave the door open. An open door and an unlocked door are not the same thing (although an open door can always be considered unlocked).

    Yes, but I meant before they decide to do such a thing... they must feel
    like they don't have much of a life to look forward to.
