Just for assesment.: Are such numbers normal in the states? I knew that you have a gun problem and I don't think the national guard will solve this. Just for comparison Berlin has 800 incidents a year including cases where only a gun was pointed at a victim.
The bigger question here and this I think is what subcontiously resonates with this this story is why do you even punish and I think there are three partly compeeding answers.
First because you want to avoid such thing from happening again
Secondly because you try to scare people from doing the same
Thirdly because you want fellons to reflect on there behavior and give them a path to redemption
For the second goal I point at the fact that it happened although this sentence is possible.
[...] He traveled to murder a guy he never met before after stalking him online, carved words from a manifesto into bullet casings, engineered a 3D printable unregistered firearm, fled the scene of the crime with enough cash to live off of for years, and openly denies any wrongdoing by pleading innocent. He is absolutely likely to try it again, or perhaps worse, if released.
If the death penalty exists, and honestly I don't think it should, then it should apply fairly and treat all human life equally.
This is why I mentioned possible jailtime in my previous comment as a lesser evil and made the point that your represented pov is a logical falacy as it is based on a non existing moral dilemma. So the only thing it represents is an argument of authority.
Still a not a valid argument. It is an argument of authority, a typical logical fallacy. Just because a group of people is reputable and says it right does not mean it is right. I mean a possible jail sentence would be as adequate to prevent him from doing it again, as a counter example. So the argument for killing him would basically narrow down to "because authorities said it is okay".
Although we studied this acient relicts in great detail, we can not make sense out of the high representation of fertility related dieties in comparison to other typical deities i.e.war or hunting gods. A possible explanation could be a crisis of reproduction caused by the cost of living during this period of time.
Just for the sake of argument. You say that because he killed and probably will kill again, death penalty is justifiable . By the same line of reasoning this should be valid as well for the judge, the attorney and every other person responsible for the final execution. You could even make the argument for the victim, as he killed people by actively rejecting proper medical care in multiple cases.
