That would not deter a single individual who was inclined to commit such an act.

Not one.

I disagree. You start crucifying these mother frickers and I bet it stops.

You do realize that these individuals are not only homicidal, but suicidal as well, right? They don't go into these situations expecting to come out alive, and if they do, it's something they decided to do on a whim after they started the actual shooting.

No one who does this makes a calculated decision based upon consequences to himself. Public crucifixion or hanging may increase the number of these which actually end in a suicide, but won't reduce the incidents themselves.

You’re very stupid if you think is the case. Open up any history book and you will find it was a more violent time than it is today. Hangings didn’t deter shite.

To be honest if some Soothsayer came to me and said that I’d be killed by hanging my question would be “what did I do to deserve that... I mean I guess there are worse ways to go, but I want to make I don’t deserve to be publicly executed? Was I suicidal?” Really hangings as far as a practical death would probably be in the Top 5 next to dying in my sleep, lethal injection, and a firing squad. I’d pick hanging over the chair.

That’s not going to deter literally a single person, and if anything, get more people to do it. “Wait do you mean everyone’s going to come and watch me die?! I’ll be on every network in the country! I get to taunt the families I’ve destroyed one last time! Well this is exactly what I wanted!”

Capital punishment is a deterrent if done swiftly and severely. Our justice system doesn't allow for that to happen.

Its really not. We live in the safest time in history, and we have the least crimes punishable by capital punishment in history.

Things have been much more violent in literally every other time in history. People think it’s worse bc the publicity with 24/7 news and technology is a million times more pervasive than it was in the 1800’s. You wouldn’t hear of a murder committed in Colorado if you lived in Georgia. You wouldn’t hear of 10 murders. Secondly, the killing power of weapons today makes the same violent acts and tendencies 50x more dangerous. We’re talking six shot pistols, shotguns, and non-automatic rifles were the available weapons for most of American history. Not only low capacity ammo with slower discharge, but also incredibly difficult to accurately shoot over distances if you aren’t an expert. And we go back even further to knives and swords.

TL;DR. Capital punishment does very little to deter crime, we only think crime is worse now bc the instances of crime are more violent and more widely publicized due to increases in communications and privately available killing power

Well, the death penalty doesn't deter capital crimes, so I'm not sure how this will help.

It would not have a postive effect on these psychopath killers

In fact, I would argue, public hangings would likely increase the number if anything. That is additional exposure

Nikolaus Cruz
Dylann Roof
James Holmes
Jared Loughner
Nidal Hassan

All of them off the top of my head... So "most" do not always kill themselves.

They would be real uneasy standing, waiting to be dropped and have their head decapitated. The burning at a stake isn't a bad idea either.

Those dudes you listed are fricking bat shite insane crazies. They would just as likely be thinking they were about to be killed and sent to a paradise full of daisies

They arent going to "feel" how you would standing on the chopping block. Hence, why they are capable of these atrocities


The only way to prevent these killings is to get to these killers pre-full blown mental loss

The mental/homicidal/psychopathic angle is very much a rationale people try to use to come to terms with these horrific acts. I don't buy it. Make everyone equal. It shows a huge problem our country has in regards to prescription medication and just downright bad parenting and situations these people have. The signs are almost always present long before anything like this happens... but often, so many experts miss these signs.

They are already getting massive attention. Look at the news, what is wrong with a little more to show a gruesome and painful way to get rid/deter these scabs? It's stupid right?

Don't most of them either kill themselves or get shot during the event anyway? I can't keep up with this shite anymore.

Umm first off, stop saying their names. If you really want to stop them, forget them. I have no idea what the name of the most recent shooter’s name is, and the only reason I keep remembering the SC’s shooter’s name is because people keep saying it.

And secondly, you have no idea how a psychopath thinks. These people aren’t afraid to die, and if I had to place a bet on what their preferred means of execution would be, there’s no doubt in my mind they’d choose a public hanging that is broadcast and they get to taunt the traumaticized family and public one last time.

Plus they get to look like a martyr. Seriously what if some psychopath is sitting at home watching this and as the SC shooter is screaming about White Supremacy about to be hung, this guy may be thinking “Hey, this guy is going down like a fricking badass. I hate my life, so why don’t I go kill a few dozen kids, surrender to the cops, and then everyone will remember me. As gravy, I could help lead a movement that inspires a few more people to make society pay as well.”

I think I speak on behalf of almost everyone on this board:

Dude, hanging is not one of the worst ways to die. People consciously kill themselves every day by hanging. People don’t tend to go out and deliberately drown themselves, set themselves on fire (except in Tibet), cut major arteries (I don’t count wrist slitting since that’s almost always more a cry for help rather than a suicide attempt), electrocute themselves, get torn apart by wild animals, or throw acid on themselves. They either jump from heights, shoot themselves, poison themselves, drive their car towards a railway, or hang themselves. If you not only threaten them with one of these options, but give them national coverage of their of their death where they can shout at the world, do you really think that’s going to stop a psychopath who has nothing to live for? No, it’s going to encourage them.

You want this to stop this, shut the frick up in saying their names. You sure as shite don’t give them a fricking fair and national coverage of a hanging. All you’re doing is making them look like a martyr and a hero. Congrats for having the worst idea ever. Really arming every teacher is a far better idea than this.

1) Stop publicizing these shootings and giving the shooters the attention they crave

2) Stop publicizing these shootings and giving the crazy people ideas
