Uvalde 8 Man Firing Squad 07 13 2022

 So let's define some criteria here.

1.  Let's say a mass shooter lives.

2.  Let's say that they are found guilty by a jury.

3.  Let's say that the death penalty is legal.

So it looked to me from that video that perhaps 8 Police Officers failed to enter that classroom because the shooter was killing children in it and they didn't want to get shot.  That they waited for the shooting to end in order to go in.  Perhaps hoping that the shooter had saved the last bullet to kill himself with.

So what forms of the Death Penalty are legal?  I would think that a firing squad, a hanging or even a guillotine would be legal.  The criteria being that they are very quick and therefore humane.

I would put the 8 members of law enforcement who should have stopped that shooting by entering harms way on that firing squad.

In other words, to do exactly what they were being paid to do in the first place.

And in the case of some other crimes I deem horrific as well as this one I would also allow the parents of the shooting victims to be on the firing squad. (A) If a person is allowed to kill a pimp then by default there ought to be the death penalty for pimps to. 

I mean if you don't want to see that killer of your very own children put to death why should our justice system even press charges against them!

Now with regard to (A) above that brings up a very important point.  What can a Police Officer kill you for?  Whatever a Police Officer can kill you for there also ought to be the death penalty for.  So that would tighten up any leeway with regard to the issue of a Police Officer perhaps using excessive force or perhaps a bias to kill someone?

Now some forms of Government in world history may have looked at it this way.  With regard to someone they deemed deserving of the death penalty; either you execute that person deserving of the death penalty or you are executed right alongside of them too.

Now let's say new facts or evidence comes out that negates some of the premises here.  The framework of this idea per the situation as described would still apply to situations defined as it is.

There are 2.5 billion Christians in the world today.  Now I recently read that half of the people killed by Police Officers are mentally ill.  What did Jesus Christ say about it?  Jesus Christ was able to cast the demons out of the mentally ill and the Bible tells us that he knew who they were!  Can you believe that?  He knew who they were!

So there is a very important issue there that needs to be addressed by our government.  And it isn't one that is subject to exclusion because it amounts to religion in Government.  It isn't subject to that Constitutional Amendment.  In effect we might need a Constitutional Amendment to address the issue that Jesus Christ brought up which indeed 2.5 billion people in the world believe in.

*****'

In summary.  Let's say that a Law Enforcement Officers duty was to shoot that active shooter of children and he failed to do so.  Now let's say that that same officer does not want to serve on the firing squad to shoot that criminal found guilty.  So we have an issue there don't we.  Could it be said someone was being paid for years on end and should not have?  And what was the detriment to our Democracy of them being in that position?  Did that what I would deem poor character lead to the degradation of our Democracy in a great many ways?

********'

Did I mention the Jury?  Let's say that the Jury convicts someone.  And no one else wants to serve on the firing squad?  Should the Jury be required to?  I would think that would be fair.

Now let's say that no one ever wanted to be on a firing squad.  All of these people could go around killing children everywhere and no one ever wanted to be on a firing squad to legally action the death penalty?  What does that say about the demographic of our Democracy?  Wishy washy weakness?

So indeed, we need to get at the source of that in order to understand it.  Might we be seeing a new genetic composition of men as the standard demographic of our country?  Perhaps we need to readily be able to identify that.
