As for his death? Couldn't care less. Don't have much of an opinion on Capital Punishment. Personally though I am veering towards thinking life imprisonment is just as much suffering. Capital Punishment is essentially a media circus, lets face it. I know what he did was wrong and the victims family's are in distress but do the networks give a ****? Hell no. It's good old fashioned American entertainment to them.

Let's not give it to them, I say.

He killed ten people and so in my opinion forfeited his right to life. If someone I loved had been killed by him I'd certainbly want him either dead, or out where I could get to him.

I'm not sure there are that many American that would agree that this kind of thing is "entertaining", but that it does give victims a sense of justice that they just don't get in this country. Over here, the welfare of the victim comes last after the welfare of the criminal has been taken into account. I think that the majority of people in the UK would back the death penalty, having had decades of bleeing hearts and lefties weeping salt tears for murderers, rapists, paedophiles etc. etc... Life imprisonment in the UK these days usually means a single cell, internet access, 32" flatscreen telly, PS3 and XBox 360...
