Just watched grandparents of the 6 year old that was killed in the theater that night.  It was heartbreaking.  They wanted the death penalty, and feel like because it was not granted, they have no closure.

 

It's a tough spot.  But I'm with Adam on this one.  I know that the grandparents wanted the death penalty, but trust me, even after the death penalty, the pain doesn't go away.  

 

Plus, I think life in prison is a punishment far worse than death...  Human's aren't supposed to be locked up the way our system is set up now.  He's gonna be in a tiny cement block cell for 23 hours a day for the rest of his life, with no other contact.  That is a living hell for a person.  

 

My prayers to all the victims and thier families.  It's just a sad, sad situation.  

 

On a side note, I heard on the radio yesterday that there was a poll that shows a change in how people view gun control...  The change is for the better, at least for the pro-gun control crowd.  Maybe in a few more years, we can actually start "regulating" our "militia" a little more "well"   :thumbsup:
