A barren desert island surrounded by shark infested waters sounds like a good idea to me for people like that. Somewhere they cannot swim to the mainland from. They get pushed out from a lowflying plane, surviving the landing would be a feat in itself, and supplies get dropped once a month. No shelter, no toilet facilities, no weapons other than those they fashion for themselves, no medical treatment available.
Only people such as this man would be sent there - those who show no remorse, who openly "celebrate" their atrocities, those who are recidivist offenders who might say they're rehabilitated but show they're not by their continued offending.
Just an idea. They'd probably all kill each other off for sport within a short space of time anyway.

Why don't you stop trying to act like a hard arse all time time you sad, old, yankydoodle has been? Stay on topic - nothing to do with guns and soldiers...

Stick to ranting the chorus with the rest of the simplistic vengeful rednecks.

Now you just wait here one goddamn cottonpicking minute tough guy. I just have one thing to say to you:

"Gaaaad Bluss Umericuuuuh"

[mstriumph]

.................Or, in other words, I think you're just an idealistic blowhard who likes to hear himself talking tough. (Admittedly, you'll likely find an appreciative crowd over here).

..................

.........i seem to remember saying previously that there are those who, being unable to argue/debate rationally, resort to personal attacks; regrettably you appear to be among them.

Apart from a stunned "ideaLISTIC?? MOI???!" I have nothing further to say on this

While I find it hard to agree with capital punishment for a variety of reasons including that it removes all possibility of genuine remorse and subsequent rehabilitation, there are cases like this where it's kind of obvious there's absolutely no chance of the person reforming, and a bullet would seem a better option. In fact, in this case - at least after the fact - it would seem a bullet before the expense of a trial would have been a good and obvious option.
This guy just didn't give a stuff, and appeared to have the attitude that what he did was OK. The look in his eyes showed no emotion, no regret, nothing.
Sometimes you get defendants that perform a bit to show how macho they are or whatever, and you know at least some of it is pretense, but not in this case. Why waste somewhere in the region of at least $2.5million on keeping him locked up? Yes, it will keep others safe, and employ some people in the prison infrastructure, but so what?

Yes, it's a great idea, and one that I've often thought would be a good solution for rival gangs. They'd have unencumbered access to each other for the purposes of sorting out who was top dog / most macho / whatever, without any innocent people getting drawn into it.
Perhaps White Island?

What about if we provide it as an option to offenders? They choose it, we whack em...?

We could call it "Australia."

LOL, had exactly this conversation in Oz with an Aussie guy a couple of weeks back when painting a Memorial for my husband over there.
Bloke stopped to have look, asked what it was all about, we got stuck in and had a chat about changing the world.

He said things were pretty bad there with regards to "justice" and gave me his own personal example.

We discussed the "Island for crims" idea, and laughed loudly and madly for a long time at the irony.
