Jared Lee Loughner, the man behind the Arizona shootings, which killed six people and injured 12 others (including former US representative Gabrielle Giffords), has finally been given a sentence -- and it's life in prison.
US District Judge Larry Burns sentenced Loughner, 24, to seven life terms plus an additional 140 years in prison for the shooting, which occurred back in January 2011. Loughner previously pleaded guilty under an agreement that guarantees he will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole -- instead of getting the death penalty. Do you think Loughner deserves life in prison -- or the death penalty?

- Cap 2012/11/14 14:36:36Loughner deserves the death penaltyI thought there were two types of people who were unalterably opposed to the Death Penalty, those who thought human life so sacred that no crime justified society taking a human life and those who thought Society was demeaned by assessing a penalty that they thought necessarily based on a concept of "an eye for an eye", because they thought that concept too barbaric for a civilized society not to outgrow. IMHO, those who have arrived at their anti-Death Penalty conclusion via the second route should be agreeing that Loughner has earned the Death Penalty, it's just that Society should not assess it. I note my vote for the DP is nowhere near that complex; he's a vile boil on the skin of mankind, and we should raffle off the right to lance him.reply

- kobidobidog 2012/11/13 06:42:27 (edited)Loughner deserves life in prisonJared Lee Loughner is already dead inside with a dead soul if he has not repent of what he has done. Since Jared Lee Loughner does not want to give good will like wise get what he wants to give. It will be eternal soul death. Jared Lee Loughner has no idea the agony he will have.That smirk will turn to into unspeakable anguish. He will wish he could drown himself in the boiling water by reason of Gods light melting the elements rather than be burned alive in Gods light that devils fear.reply

He is the iconic death penalty candidate. I usually advocate against use of the death penalty, but it is for cases like this that we have the death penalty.reply

- KayTuckus 2012/11/13 00:57:03Loughner deserves the death penaltyThis isn't about being vengeful, this is about cost. Why waste the money providing shelter, food, and medical care for individual that society has deemed un-salvageable? There's no point to a permanent life behind bars. They would be doing him and the economy a favor by simply putting him to death. Why oh why are so many people rotting in prison when they can get the death penalty or simply be put on probation/parole? Wake up america. Stop letting big business persuade you into filling up our prisons.reply
- Eh Poli... KayTuckus 2012/11/13 09:58:48+1Look into how much it costs to keep an inmate on death row. They still get the same food, shelter, better medical care; they're there for decades, appeal after appeal. Life in prison is less costly, even if he lived to 90, than the death penalty.reply

- Mya Faire 2012/11/12 19:08:29Loughner deserves life in prison+2Murder is murder is murder. Besides, life in prison is a much stronger punishment. With the death penalty, they get sent to private cells where they don't have to worry about being bothered by the other inmates. We have to feed and house them for years, decades, before their sentence is carried out...after multiple tax-payer financed appeals. Throw 'em in there for life. No appeals, no protection from the general population. If their offense was heinous enough, the inmates will carry out the death penalty more swiftly than the justice system ever does.reply
