The insanity plea doesn’t make any sense. Every person who kills someone else, or kills a dozen people in the case of James Holmes, is undeniably insane. I hate that our court system now accepts the insanity plea as a way to be able to serve time in a psych ward instead of a federal penitentiary. Klebold, Harris, Lanza, Holmes – these guys were all insane. The first three killed themselves after taking the lives of innocent students. I am not a typical participant in death penalty discussions, but I have to speak up in defense of a public hanging of Holmes. Maybe that gruesome image would prevent other shootings (though it seems almost impossible that it would).

I don’t believe these kinds of responses will deter other sick a-holes from killing…they want their 15 minutes any way they can get it. Connecticut didn’t deter anyone either…but Holmes deserves the death penalty, absolutely.
How are there people in this world who want to be famous for committing atrocities? Humanity is such a disappointment. The potential for this species is endless, but there are so many hindrances that prevent us from becoming an honorable breed that I can hardly stand it.
