1. When I saw this headline, I first thought you meant Ted Cruz

And that is an unqualified YES!

But, alas, I am against the death penalty, so no.

5. I thought the exact same thing - Ted???

2. Nope. Don't support the death penalty

Besides, there is much to be learned from him that could lead to better detection of potential school shooters.

3. That is a tough one. Which Cruz are we talking about, Ted?

[Kaleva]

4. Penlope

7. In that case, DEFINITELY NOT!!!!

6. No. But I can empathize with the families of the victims who believe he should be executed.

8. not just no, but HELL NO

we finally have one of these Emperor Assholes alive in custody and people want to kill him? no.
milk that mind for every thought it had over the last 3 years. every single one. every action it took leading up to the shooting, even the trivial shit. i want that Asshole's complete history logged in excruciating detail. kill him? no way.

9. No. No one should.

10. No, because I do not think we should have a death penalty

I have moral and economic reasons for thinking this. Most other democracies do without one, and are fine. It's an issue I evolved on. The emotional response (which is understandable, but we have to go by what is best for society) made me support it in limited cases when I was younger.

11. No. There shouldn't be a death penalty.

12. Ted, yes

13. Premeditated multiple murder with no doubt about his guilt.

Checks all the boxes for me.

It takes so damn long for justice to be served that the mindhunters who study these whackadoos can mine him for everything he’s got before giving him his just desserts.
