Colorado jury rejects death penalty for another mass murderer.

1. I live in Colorado, and having lived through Columbine and the theater shooting, I believe

that when a crime is as heinous as this theater shooting done by Lewis, the only rational, and fiscally responsible answer, is 'hang 'em high!'

The jury was 11 for death, and 1 holdout for life without parole. I suppose it's OK - the guy will NEVER again be seen in public and will live the rest of his life in a cage.

However it costs over $60K in taxpayer money every year this guy is in prison, to house him, provide health care, make sure he doesn't escape and take care of overhead. It took me around 30 years of working and getting raises to make that kind of money. And we're just giving it to this nimrod.

Now, I don't like the death penalty for most crimes, but for something like this theater shooting where they caught the guy red handed - a firing squad is appropriate.

My bet is he'll be killed by other prisoners soon, anyway. The grandmother of one of the victims expressed this fond hope.

And yes, the death penalty in this case would be about revenge. You bet. And, to make sure that THIS GUY never, ever, ever does something like that again.
