There should be nothing but the death penalty for an animal like this.

he can never rejoin society he has chosen to destroy so he has no reason to suck up taxpayer’s money for many years.

Thank the federal death penalty, which applied because Loughner shot people at a federally protected political event.

This doesn't make a lot of sense.

AZ has well over 100 people on death row, and I assume he committed AZ crimes punishable by death.

So even without a federal death penalty Loughner would have been facing possible execution.

I assume.

One other great advantage of the death penalty, when it’s imposed but not executed, isa that it often amounts to a life without parole because the subhuman is kept locked up on death row endlessly appealing the penalty, often until he dies naturally or gets shanked.

60 or more years feeding on the taxpayers for food, shelter, TV and medical care. That’s justice for slaughtering people isn’t it? Fry him!!!

And for the rest of his life, he will enjoy 3 meals a day, medical care and a cot to sleep on. This will cost the taxpayers more than sending him to Oxford, each and every year of his life.

Funny, his victims didn’t get any choice in their role in all of this.

One of my favorite movies is "A Law Abiding Citizen". I only wish the movie ended in Clyde's favor, but I'm in a very un-PC mood at the moment, thanks to my reading of the new, improved HAMP 2.0.

But that's another story for another day.

I don’t understand the chain of events.

14 months ago this guy was declared incompetent to stand trial.

Are they claiming he was competent when he committed the murders?

Then - after the murders - he became incompetent?

Then - after taking medication - he became competent again?

Now that he’s competent, does he go to a regular maximum security facility?

If he murders a fellow prisoner, does this dance start over again?

Without the death penalty, the prosecutors wouldn’t have a had a bargaining chip to get the plea.

Please don’t get the kooks started.

Some loon is likely to post that it was a “false flag” operation.

Make FreeRepublic look bad.

This was clearly a false flag operation. I’m sure the Freemasons played a big part.

Competent to stand trial and not guilty by reason of insanity are two completely different standards. So, he could, in the same exact mental state, be incompetent to stand trial, and yet still be sane enough to be criminally liable for his actions.

Didn’t you know the Bavarian Illuminati derived from the Masons and disappeared back into them after being supressed?
So the answer is “Yes.”

Illuminati, imo, is another term for “capitalists” who do not “just work”, but plan something evil and sinister using the invocation of higher powers. Ironic that most leftists who invoke their non profit higher powers outfits of moral superiority and PC would point fingers there.

IN other news, looks like the Aurora shooter is barely disclosed as communist... is that a wink to democrates who know? THis is so selective.

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/judge-asked-reconsider-gag-order-movie-theater-shooting-114639357.html

The former grad student charged in last month’s deadly shooting rampage at a Colorado movie theater gave his religion as “agnostic” and his occupation as “laborer” when he was booked into jail, according to a document released to Yahoo News this week.

They’re not making any declaration about his sanity at the time of the murders. Now that he’s pleaded guilty it doesn’t matter, he’ll be in prison, he’ll be seeing prison shrinks, he might even wind up doing his time in psychiatric facilities.

Slim,
You aren’t supposed to mention them (us) in public. Big problem. Stop it or else we’ll manipulate the weather and ruin your life. Got it?

I had no idea.

Maybe I’m the one who’s crazy?
