23 year old arrested admitted to shooting the 2 adults and 2 children.

A man who was unrelated to the mom and two kids was also shot and wounded in the Northern Denver suburb.

The 23 year old left the scene and was stopped by the police well on his way to Colorado Springs.

No words. What makes people so evil?

RIP

No fear of God or respect for judicial system.
There is no capital punishment carried out in a timely manner for murder. It takes years before sentencing is carried out. This does not help much to deter crime.

Yep, if your a dirtbag , have no fear of what happens to you after death, and no fear of what man can do to you, then you can do as you please. If we had a swift death penalty for situations like this, it would be at least be deterrence .

Some liberal will pop up (probably not here) and say the death penalty is not a deterrent.
However it does cut down on repeat offenders.

I am of the opinion the only reason it is not a deterrent is that most people don't believe they will get it and know if they do they will spend 25 years or more doing appeals.

You may be right, but it's my opinion that the primary reason it is not a deterrent is because it's no longer visible. All we know about executions these days comes from the media: "So-and-so was put to death this evening by lethal injection" And that's pretty much it as far as the execution is concerned. Want to turn it into a real deterrent? Bring back public hanging and televise it.

That being said, over the last few years there have been a number of convicted persons who were on death row awaiting execution who were exonerated by DNA evidence. This causes me a great deal of concern that our system could (and surely has in the past) execute an innocent person. And no, I don't have a better alternative to offer. :???:
