Dylann Roof has been sentenced to death - Polidicks

[url]https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/10/us/dylann-roof-trial-charleston.html[/url] [QUOTE]CHARLESTON, S.C. — Dylann S. Roof, the impenitent and inscrutable white supremacist who killed nine African-American churchgoers in a brazenly racial assault almost 19 months ago, shocking the world over the persistence of extremist hatred in dark corners of the American South, was condemned to death by a federal jury on Tuesday. The jury of nine whites and three blacks, who last month found Mr. Roof guilty of 33 counts for the attack at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston, S.C., returned their unanimous verdict after about three hours of deliberations in the penalty phase of a heart-rending and often legally confounding trial. He showed no emotion as the verdict was read.[/QUOTE] Good riddance.

Good.

Too bad they don't have firing squads. That would be ironic.

People shocked: And now here come the automatic appeals. Going to take awhile before anything of substance happens.

I know some people are going to disagree with him being put to death, but I'm sorry the guy deserves it. He's fucking evil, saying he wasn't sorry and was glad to do it. Given he stated he wasn't insane and decided to defend himself, he essentially was asking to be put to death.

No great loss.

And he only had to suffer through testimony of the victims to get to this point. I wish he was sentenced to life in prison just so he wouldn't be granted the satisfaction of getting what he wanted.

Wooo lets make him a martyr for his delusional cause. Justice is served!

I'm usually against the death penalty but in cases where it's clear the person can't be reformed, I'm unsure what to think.

Retrospectively, this entire case, all in all, was very pointless. [QUOTE=jordguitar;51650958]He is probably thinking he is going to be a martyr, but it won't happen.[/QUOTE] Even /pol/ dislikes him. Of all places.

[QUOTE=Cyke Lon bee;51650960]Wooo lets make him a martyr for his delusional cause. Justice is served![/QUOTE] no matter what sentence was carried, he would be a martyr lol

I don't condone this sort of behaviour

All I see is taxpayer money going down the toilet. By the time he's executed we'll all have forgotten who he was, and it likely won't even make the news. He may be human trash, but now he's expensive human trash.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;51650954] I wish he was sentenced to life in prison just so he wouldn't be granted the satisfaction of getting what he wanted.[/QUOTE] it's done, get over it. also it's what the victims want

[QUOTE=Lambeth;51650954]And he only had to suffer through testimony of the victims to get to this point. I wish he was sentenced to life in prison just so he wouldn't be granted the satisfaction of getting what he wanted.[/QUOTE] He wanted to be spared. Could be him bullshitting though.

Now to wait 10 years and waste millions of dollars fighting appeals.

[QUOTE=sYnced;51650984]it's done, get over it. also it's what the victims want[/QUOTE] why should someone have to just 'get over' a human being executed

[QUOTE=Rusty100;51650994]why should someone have to just 'get over' a [B]SICK HUMAN BEING[/B] executed[/QUOTE] lol no you're right... continue to debate the ethics

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;51650986]Now to wait 10 years and waste millions of dollars fighting appeals.[/QUOTE] dylann himself has said he doesn't intend to fight it, so he'll probably get pushed through and kileld fairly quickly

[QUOTE=sYnced;51650984]it's done, get over it. also it's what the victims want[/QUOTE] Eh' execution isn't always a good course of action, I mean it's expensive and takes a lot of time and paperwork and a lot more effort than just throwing him in a cell and sliding some gruel under the door every now and then... Is it really wise to waste lots of taxpayer money on the execution process for this scumbag when it's far cheaper just to leave them to rot and be forgotten? Not to mention you can put them to work and offset a lot of the costs involved in housing them. It kinda just makes more economical sense this way from what I understand. I mean sure revenge and all that but how much is revenge worth, is it right for the general public to pay for someone's revenge? It's fine for the taxpayers to pay for the judicial system to keep them safe and again, from what I can gather keeping him locked the fuck up is the cheaper option so there's that. Honestly I'm not sold on capital punishment and I doubt I ever will regardless of circumstance.

I wish he was sentenced to life in prison just so he wouldn't be granted the satisfaction of getting what he wanted.[/QUOTE] I wish people would stop acting like causing suffering to perpetrators is a goal. This is not why punishments exist. Getting a prison sentence is supposed to be a lesson that teaches you not to do something like it again, so once you get to where you're deciding between life in prison or a death sentence, you're basically just going [I]"Okay, we can't do anything about this one, now what?"[/I]. At that point, we should be looking at what other consequences there of the options. Does more or less crime happen if we use a life sentence? What if we have death sentences? I get that he's an evil guy who 'deserves' it and it's even fine if you feel a sense of cathartic satisfaction from knowing that he gets hurt, but I just wish people wouldn't let that be such a huge talking point.

Why is taxpayer money seemingly always everyones only concern when it comes to prisoner treatment
