I support use of the death penalty only in a very limited number of particularly egregious cases where guilt is beyond doubt. (I also support a national moratorium on executions because the death penalty is so often used as a racial weapon, but that's a separate issue.)
This is one of the rare cases where I do believe the death penalty is appropriate.
@RationalLeft Same on all counts. I support the death penalty for egregious cases, but there should be an open-ended moratorium because of the racial element in how it's applied.

@LiberalLibrarian Yup.
However, since there isn't currently a moratorium, the Pittsburgh synagogue gunman definitely qualifies.
@LiberalLibrarian If only he would really end up that way.
@RationalLeft May he enjoy his Aryan hell.
