First of all: "As of July 2021, the death penalty is authorized by 27 states and the federal government – including the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. military – and prohibited in 23 states and the District of Columbia, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. But even in many of the jurisdictions that authorize the death penalty, executions are rare: 13 of these states, along with the U.S. military, haven’t carried out an execution in a decade or more. That includes three states – California, Oregon and Pennsylvania – where governors have imposed formal moratoriums on executions". - Pew Research Death sentences have declined drastically. While homicides have increased drastically Homicide Rates by Race and Ethnicity CNN US records highest increase in nation’s homicide rate in modern history, CDC says https://edition.cnn.com/2021/10/06/health/us-homicide-rate-increase-nchs-study/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJRB Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Does anyone think that those who carry out these mass shootings expect to make good their escape. They are almost invariably murder /suicide missions and the death penalty is of little moment in these cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
