Crazy question. How do people feel about the death penalty especially in the context of these school shootings?

I get your point. My concern is that we have a history of sentencing individuals to death that were innocent. "Since 1973, 200 former death-row prisoners have been exonerated of all charges related to the wrongful convictions that had put them on death row."

To me, it's not worth the risk. 

But overall, I am a big believer that we need to reform our justice system.

So a person kills 4 people. And we think rehabilitation is in play? 

I think of prisons in the USA as a breeding ground for bull jive. Then we socially frown upon felonies - reducing potential productivity of that individual when they get out. 

I have friends from high school who are locked for life, not getting out. So the state feeds & houses them for 60 years? 

If society deems someone impossible to rehabilitate then we execute. I’m also very cool with exile.
