You think it'd be cool to get a murder trial, but no. Friend of mine got called for jury duty and thought it'd be a couple of weeks off work. She ended up been drawn for a 3 month long baby murder case. Had to hear gruesome poo poo and lost out on her usual salary while stuck in court.

Versus even more money while a death row inmate expends appeals, which is lawful, just, and necessary and coincidentally extremely expensive, way more than feeding gruel to an inmate for a few decades.

What kind of shithead unironically thinks THEIR PRECIOUS TAX DOLLARS are a justification for killing people? A total fuckshit probably

the average salary of someone who admits they routinely sleep in an office near cages of people in america is 21 dollars, support are Troops

but if you try to get 15 dollars (and make it take 5 years first) to someone who actually makes your lovely food all day you have a class war

that's because it's loving true. you might note that these mass shooters are basically never poor desperate people with actual problems, they're people with relatively decent lives, who have the comfort necessary to indulge in existentialism and undergo existential crises and then realise that the easy answer to that is to murder a bunch of people and then become instantly famous. if we tied them up in public, stripped them naked, and whipped them until they passed out and shat themselves, and then shot their unconscious bodies in the head, I'm pretty sure that the frequency of this happening would plummet down to pretty much nothing.

the alternative is banning media coverage of these things happening but that has a lot of other unfortunate implications, I think my idea is a lot simpler.

the word you were looking for was "wage". a salary is an amount you are paid annually. so if someone's hourly wage is $21 then their salary would be ~$43k.

but really prison is irrelevant to this topic, the nature of these crimes is one that a corrective prison system has no way to address. prison, properly managed and utilised, is a great way to deal with the majority of offenders, but not guys like this.

most offenders commit violent crimes due to desperation or greed combined with a lack of other options and poor impulse control, along with other emotional deficits that I don't really have the expertise to discuss in-depth. the vast majority of these offenders can benefit from various rehabilitative strategies, even (despite popular belief) rapists.

then you have psychopathic predators, ideologically motivated offenders, and mass murderers like this guy and seung-hui cho. these three categories of offenders cannot generally be rehabilitated, only deterred.

mass murderers generally are not psychopaths, but they are extremely neurotic. there are outliers, but there's a reason that they tend to be white, middle-class males. they are raised with the expectation of fulfilling a certain standard of life, and suffer extreme anxiety when they fail, or believe they have failed, to live up to that.

I don't think anyone needs to be reminded thoroughly of the deplorable way the media cover these things. they don't even pretend that they're not indulging in a disgusting macabre fascination with the shooters, they turn them into loving celebrities. most of us can still recognise that, though, as negative attention. but to a troubled individual it resembles the position of adoration and attention to which they feel entitled. elliott rogers or whatever his name was, the "I'm going to shoot up a sorority because women won't sleep with me" guy, is the most hilariously obvious example of this.

now tumblers will bring up this point as a way of saying "see? I told you we need to dismantle the white cishet patriarchy" and loving lol, people who think cultural hegemony and social hierarchies are ever going away need a cold shower. but what we do need to do is unequivocally and brutally show these goons that murdering people is not a viable way of obtaining fame and attention.

I do not care in the least bit, I think stopping mass shootings is about as important as stopping toddlers from drowning in back yards. actually the latter is much more of a thing than the former, so I guess it's less important than that. I'm more concerned with things infinitely more likely to affect me, like population control and macroeconomics.

but if you do care then there you go, that's how you stop it from happening

That guy was batshit insane. I remember reading that he started hallucinating violent shadows as a small kid. He couldn't sleep at night because nail ghosts were constantly hammering the walls in his room, trying to hang a picture or something. Reading this poo poo really stuck with me, because :wtc:.

Nothing humiliating or scary you can think up would have stopped him. I recommend to go read that thread in e/n with the push-babystroller-through-texas-desert idiot. It made me really understand what mental illness is for the first time.

Elliot rogers, the boy who never scored, killed himself after his pathetic attempt at a killing spree. So good luck deterring guys like him with a death sentence. I think the majority of mass murderers were some kind of batshit insane. Most of them commit suicide after, so i'm really sceptical about your plan.

I thought it was pretty clear that I was not suggesting a death sentence would be a deterrent. public humiliation would be. killing them immediately after is just to make sure that the last memory anyone has of them is as a broken, weak, whimpering loser.
