Colorado Shooting

On 20/7/12 James Holmes, 24, a student in Neuroscience at the University of Colorado doing his PhD, went on a rampage that killed 12 and injured 58 during the midnight showing of the new Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises.  The prosecutor is considering pursuing the death penalty. The question is does she really think that a person like James Holmes, who is capable of killing 12 and wounding 58 in a shooting rampage, is afraid to die? The truth is all such people are already tired of living. It is because of this very reason that made them capable of committing such atrocities. they would literally welcome death with open arms to rid them of their mental anguish. To these special kind of people we need drastic actions to deter future similar madness. I would recommend putting their arms and legs in shackles and making sure that they will not be able to commit suicide and then to stop giving them food and water until they die. Every stages of their sufferings must be published to the entire world so that other mentally troubled people will realise that if they do acts similar to James Holmes they will know the consequences - not just death but a slow and torturous death which I think will commensurate with the gravity of such crimes. In fact it would be better if we can cut off limbs by limbs followed by nose, ears, eyes, penis and testicles in a gradual period of time. At times like these, one must act in a cruel and inhuman manner. What else can we do against a madman who is not afraid of death? I really do not know. Even with such drastic actions, these depraved guys may still continue their killing rampages but this time, to avoid a torturous death, they will just shoot themselves dead.
