Add me to the list of agreement here.

Here's how I see it: if you're competent enough to know you would like a gun, buy the gun, buy ammo for the gun, load the gun, then proceed to a very specific event in order to shoot people associated with said even, you are COMPETENT ENOUGH TO STAND TRIAL!

I wish her well in her recovery. I hope that her and her family can move on with life and not have to suffer any further tragedy like this one.

Over 6 billion people on this planet, nobody will miss this one. Keeping him alive is a waste of resources and money that could be put to better use. The "humane" thing to do is put him out of his misery, just like we would for a rabid dog or a lame horse.

Honestly, and I am sure this makes me a bad person, I have never understood why the death penalty can't be applied to mentally ill people.

Who is more of a threat to our society than a nutter who kills people because some invisible friend tells him to?

If they are mentally competent to commit the crime, they should be mentally competent to do the time.
