Do you think we saved some money by killing him instead of letting him plant 10 more bombs in prison?
Forget the "it's not a deterrent" argument, people care about justice.
And killing some of these criminals is justice.
You want to save some money then stop arresting 1 million people for weed.
Then use that money to kill the real criminals who absolutely deserve to die.
EDIT : Gaskins was in fact deterred from making another bomb when he was killed.

I am not into taking a life, good, bad or indifferent or any other format, it isn't my thing - but I get it and I understand it and all that - so I am not one of these advocates that are against it - not at all - it is what it is!
However, having said that, I think I agree with what you are saying more than anything I've seen about this whole thing - putting a bunch of people behind bars that for all intent purposes are pretty much harmless and how many stoners have you seen going anywhere past the kitchen for a snack? They are harmless and we spend so many millions and billions behind bars while we sit here and worry about every dime for the REAL criminals - they both eat just as much, take up the same amount of space and probably cost just as much, so why not stop using the funds on the harmless and focus on the REAL bad guys, I've always said this and always will.
I am about to go read this Gaskins thing, people like this always grab my attention - I like to see what goes on in their heads to make them cross THAT line!
